Film Cash Props
Film Cash Props Planned Around the Shot
Film cash props should be chosen before the shoot based on camera distance, actor handling, set dressing volume, and how the money needs to read on screen.
Use Full Print Prop Money for general filming, RealAged® Prop Money for worn cash scenes, Close-Up Bills for hero shots, and Print A Bill™ for custom film cash props.
