This movie master's props are hidden in plain sight

"The possibilities are literally endless." 10/16/18

The Master of Paper Props

Ross MacDonald makes his paper by making paper. For the last 25 years, he's created tens of thousands of paper props for movies and television shows like "Baby's Day Out," "Silver Linings Playbook," "Boardwalk Empire" and "Parks and Recreation." From handwritten letters to driver's licenses, each piece is custom made and thoughtfully imbued with backstory. Step into Ross's Connecticut workshop to see how movie magic gets illustrated, aged, cut and copywritten. 

Sharing Science Through Origami Microscopes

As a young person, Manu Prakash learned that if you don't have what you need, build it. He made his first microscope out of cardboard tubes and his brother's eyeglasses. Today, the inventor and Stanford University faculty makes science accessible to all through pocket-sized origami microscopes.

The Festival of Glowing Giants

Asako Kitamura never set out to break any barriers. She simply grew up wanting to become a master nebuta maker, just like her father before her. She spent years perfecting the art of building nebuta, giant paper floats built to take on the shape of warrior gods. Last year, Kitamura made history as the first woman to win first place at Japan's 300-year-old Aomori Nebuta Festival.
