Description
Sign designed to look like a menu board for a movie prop. The board is printed on an aluminum frame dry erase board.
The front of the board is white and has Chinese characters printed in red and green text with an illustration of a person in a chef's hat on the right side.
The english translation is provided on the back of the board in the technical specifications.
The technical specifications on the back include information about the scale, text colours, and movie information like director, production design, set number.
Object History
"Jimmy's Dumplings" prop created as part of a street scene in movie Fantastic Four 2.
Jimmy Chow worked in TV and film as a property master for more than 42 years. A property master is responsible for building and procuring props that actors handle and use. This sometimes means making replica items that are lighter, false or make filming easier on the actor. This differs from set decoration, which uses props to create a backdrop and is less central to the action on set.
Jimmy Chow was responsible for designing, managing, and sourcing props for films such as: BFG, Warcraft: The Beginning, X-Men 2, Fantastic Four, Watchman, Tron: Legacy, Little Women, Seven Years in Tibet, Shanghai Noon, The Shipping News, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, The Changeling, Man of Steel (Superman), Snow Falling on Cedars, Legends of the Fall, And the Sea Will Tell, and Once a Thief.
He entered the film industry in 1973 working for CBC Vancouver and gained valuable experience working on the set of the television series The Beachcombers, which launched his career.
