To be a master propman takes years of experience. Usually their kit consists of virtually every tool in the book. A kitted out small truck is ideal for this role although some have trailers and wheel them on the stage for the shoot. Usually there is a 'pack shot' on a commercial and it is them who make up the 'perfect packs' or create the everlasting beer head. They unpack and log all the props and assist with the set dressing. On the shoot they remain close to the camera crew taking instructions from the dop or director. Occasionally they will enlist an assistant or another propman of there own choosing to assist with the packing up on the wrap.
