    Omega used to be THE Hollywood prop shop. It's terrible what's happened to it since the sale.read more

    Los Angeles is loaded with thousands of places which can I deem as "favorites": museums, vintage…read morestores, beaches, restaurants, parks, bars, etc. Well, add Omega Cinema Props to that list. Omega is a museum, thrift store, vintage/antique store, and prop rental house in one. I can spend hours here roaming the goods. Omega is Hollywood's LARGEST prop house and is situated in 4 floors of a warehouse-sized building. One might naturally think that this results in a cluster crazy-house of props and film set personnel but alas, it is actually so organized that even my OCD is a happy camper. Each floor consists of EVERY SINGLE item you could ever need to dress a film set such as knick-knacks, children's toys, globes, clocks, paintings, rugs, furniture, books, candlesticks, chandeliers and even phone books! And that list is only about 1/16 of the items they carry. Each floor is neatly categorized (ie. "furniture", "toys") and subdivided into time periods such as "Greek Furniture", "1960-70s beds". It is VERY easy to find anything and everything that a buyer needs to satisfy the set designer and set dresser of a film. Plus, everything is in pristine condition. Ultimately, it is like the best thrift or antique store you have set your eyes on. I fell in love with a throne used in "The Tudors" HBO series and a 1964 Magnavox Console TV (see photos). Service is also extremely pleasant and smooth. Although you have to "check in" with reception when entering (this isn't like a regular retail store you can just browse) and you generally need to work for a production company whom already has an account with Omega; they then allow you to do your own thing and don't hover as you search for your props. You receive numbered stickers which you place on the items you need so that others know they are "held". Omega then scans numbered barcode stickers. When you are ready to pick-up the props, Omega is the only prop house which helps you dock and load your props onto the truck versus you doing all the work. Another highlight is the computers in their lobby allowing you to upload photos of the props to send to your corresponding set designer for final approval. Not to mention, their Internet website has a full-inventory catalog allowing you to see if they have your desired prop, saving you a trip. Whether you work in film or not, Omega is a great place to check out if you have the opportunity. Just don't lose or break anything: you have to pay for it!

    While I was deployed with USN Media and dealing with the grief of being away from my children, I…read morewas trying to think of ways to meaningfully connect with them. I called this company in the hopes that they could help me put together a prop birth certificate as a 14 year old birthday prank I wanted to give my son. It is something I've wanted to do since he was born and something I think would bring joy to his heart with the intentionality and time behind it... Pictured are the responses I received. It was truly hurtful. I get that if you cannot offer these services you might educate them on that. After spending over an hour trying to get my full credit card scanned to them for a quote and this was their response when I only followed the prompts of their website, I was blown away. Just so the public is aware, this company only handles "large productions" in case you didn't see it on the website, I certainly did not. So if you're not a big production company, be prepared to be rejected or talked down to. I was, however, able to develop my own gift to my son. I'll put it in the photos as well :) Praise God!

    What an incredible experience! So much cool stuff. Make sure you have plenty of time, as you…read morewill be wandering the aisles and the yard for a while. Some of the most interesting stuff is just available for rental, but there is a lot for sale. It's old, some things are a bit -or more than a bit - dusty and dirty but that just adds to the charm. What really stood out was the friendliness of the staff. Exceptionally nice and helpful which is not always a given in this type of place. Literally didn't balk at going up a ladder for a couple of dollars of heat shrink tubing. When I got to the counter and was making my purchase a manger (or maybe an owner?) said one of the things was too much and cut the price dramatically. I can't remember the last time that has happened to me, and I'm as old as dirt. :-) If you are a maker, tinkerer or just a fan of cool old stuff you owe yourself a visit to Apex. For me, it was at the end of a 400 mile drive, I was tired and had other places to go, but every minute there was a pleasure.
