From the brains behind brains on, this is The Moment of Um.

Moment of Hum comes to you from APM Studios.

I'm Pop Hopkins, owner and proprietor of Pop's one-stop prop shop.

Um.

In case you don't know, props are all the stuff you see in movies and TV.

Space lasers, couches, haunted dolls, forks, you name it.

And here it pops one-stop prop shop,

we make and sell the best movie and TV props you ever saw.

Do you need a bookshelf that opens into a secret hideaway?

I can make that.

How about a perfect replica of the Hope Diamond?

But made out of glass.

I can make that.

A hair dryer and pepper grinder super glued together and painted to look like a shrink ray shooter?

Oh yeah. No problem. I can make that.

And I'll tell you what? Film technology has come a long way since I started in the biz.

Used to be, you had to make all your movie special effects yourself. You want a giant troll in your movie?

You build a clay model and film it on a tiny version of the movie set.

Or you get the biggest guy you can and stick him in a lot of makeup and some furry underpants.

But now, holy shlamoli!

With computers and something called a green screen,

you can build whole imaginary worlds and creatures
