- My job on set was to pick up and return props as needed. Whenever the set designer needed a new prop for the film, it was my responsibility to drive to whichever store they needed me to drive to and pick up the prop. When filming was done, it was my job to find the receipts for each prop and return them. My job also included helping the set designer move furniture around the set as well as decorating the set. I would occasionally paint the furniture as well.
