Written by Demetria Dixon
Property Master, Russell Bobbitt on the set of "The Flinstones"
What do “Star Trek,” Iron Man,” “Iron Man 2,” “The Hangover,” and the latest Marvel property slated for the big screen“THOR,” all have in common? They all feature the consummate artistry of Property Master, Russell Bobbitt.
Chances are, that unless you’re a film buff or an industry insider, you may never have heard Russell Bobbitt’s name but you’ve seen his work in over 50 feature films. Bobbitt’s work ethic, attention to detail and craftsmanship have earned him numerous accolades. Most recently he was feted with Hamilton Watches, “Behind the Camera Award” for his work on “Iron Man”. Hamilton, in association with Hollywood life Magazine gives the “Behind the Camera” award annually. According to Hollywood Life Magazine, honorees are selected for their “Attention to detail in their craft, their devotion to their projects, and their grace under pressure.” Fresh from the wrap of “Iron Man 2,” Russell took time out to sit and talk with me about what a feature film Property Master does and what it’s been like to work on some of the biggest films with many of the biggest names in cinema.
Q Russell first of all, I’m honored that you’d take time out of your family time to chat with us about what you do.
A I’m honored that you would ask me. Thank you. The truth is I’m just a guy who is blessed to get to do a job that I love and as a bonus I get to hang out with some pretty cool people.
Q How did you get into the movie business?
A My mom was dating a set decorator. His name is Bob Gould. During that time our house burned down and we were literally left with nothing. Bob said, “Hey why don’t you come and work with me? You can earn some money to put some clothes on your back.” I worked hard for 3 weeks and made about $1,000.00. (more…)
