Summary

This book explores the varied and unusual prop work of movie and TV graphic prop designer Ross MacDonald.

MacDonald's prop work for film and TV is explored through an interview by Steven Heller, a photographic essay on his work on National Treasure, and a collection of his work (building and designing the physical pieces as well as the graphic ones) divided into categories including books, cards and letters, and documents, such as maps and legal papers. This book includes many of his most popular props for movies and shows such as Silver Linings Playbook, National Treasure, Baby's Day Out, Boardwalk, The Knick, Parks and Rec, and many, many more.
