Car Camera Mounts As we progress on the path to create a TV series about Mr Dog Poop, we have realized that we will need some shots from moving vehicles.

Of course, it is easy on a process trailer because it is like a moving studio. Loads of room for gear, lighting and crew. That was our overall plan, but at the same time, it is a huge ...read more

Video Production Prices In Tampa As videographers, how do you determine how much to charge? If you have a studio, you have overhead expenses.

Common sense will tell you, $10,0000 divided by 30 days in a month would be around $335 per day. So to cover your expenses, you would have to charge $335 for that day of using your studio.

Helping Tampa Film Makers with Micro Budget FilmsThere is a lot of unrecognized talent in Tampa's film maker community and we want to foster that into success both for the film maker and ourselves. That is why we work with micro budget films anything under $10,000 is considered a no budget film. But that is not technically true, because every resource has value and should be considered part of the cost. If you have several friends helping as grips, camera ops and talent without charging, there is value in that and hopefully they have been promised something on the ...read more

Find those deals where something is new in the box and ended up in some storage bin sold to the highest bidder and make low offers. Someone may have paid $500 for ...read more
