As one of the most ubiquitous and useful pieces of equipment on a film set Apple Boxes are used by anything that needs propping-up or supporting temporarily, such as: propping-up furniture, light-stands, leveling camera dolly track; or providing temporary seats, workbenches, and mini-ladders.
Often the need arises to make an actor appear taller, either because of their height, or because of the way a particular shot is composed, in this use Apple Boxes are jokingly referred to as "Man Makers".
