Abstract: There are various forms and modes in which plastics play an important function in motion-picture production. Reasons making it necessary and practical to confine the fabrication of stage set structural units and props to relatively simple processes are explained. The basic differences in the use, purpose and processing of plastic materials between the general plastics industry and a motion-picture studio are treated in some detail, with illustrations. Polymeric materials are not only useful by themselves in the fabrication of stage set units, props and effects items but they also play an equally important part when formulated into functional and decorative coatings, such as paints, lacquers and adhesives. Plastics have a practically unlimited range of studio production applications. Polymeric materials can now be tailored to fit specific desired application or engineering requirements.
