Hire an Expert for Staging Your Production Set So you are shooting a film about an inventor that is designing a time machine. Seems simple right? But what do you know about time travel? Nothing? More importantly, what do you know about building a time machine? Do you know what kind of tools it takes to solder wires together? Bend steel or weld? Far too often I see a complex project like a vintage time machine, with electronics, mechanical gears and moving parts and the set is a bunch of craft building items, glue gun, stryofoam, scissors and maybe ...read more

Finding YouTube Friendly Filming LocationsHere in Tampa Florida permits are required to film just about anything anywhere.

If you get into pyrotechnics or firearms, the cost obviously goes up and you need to have licensed experts, an ambulance on site etc before filming. Of course, ...read more

Free Prop Rental for Content CreatorsPart of the risk of making your own videos is acquiring the props. One, because it is time consuming, expensive and when you are done, what do you do with them. This is the problem we face at Mr Dog Poop Studios after making our own videos for the first year we had shelves of left over props. Of course without props, our videos would be bland and not get the attention that we have become accustom. And how do you shoot an apple off of someone's head without a bow and arrows.

| Posted in: Video Production |
Video or Film? What is the difference and why is film making so much more expensive? In today's technology rich production environment there is literally no difference between making YouTube videos and Films. In the early days of video, just like the early days of film, only black and white was an option, editing was rare and as far as computers, you still used a dumb terminal that connected to a phone modem to use a centralized mainframe that had about as much processing power as a small calculator. Where as Film was just that, film that ran through ...read more
