We get a lot of questions about our prop guns, which we get from www.ehobbyasia.com. They are all airsoft, which is a great option for film-makers. New aspiring film-makers can choose super-inexpensive plastic airsoft guns which look pretty realistic, but are usually lightweight and missing close-up details.

These versions are more expensive but usually have realistic weight (which is great for actors), moving parts, and … Read the rest

Hey everyone, awesome news!  We were approved for a Kickstarter.  We’re raising funds to help make more episodes of Mario Warfare.

We’ve already made two episodes, but we’ve exhausted our personal funds.  There’s actually a bit more story there.
About a year ago we started making a different version of Mario Warfare, for which we’d saved up a decent amount of budget from our day jobs.  So many things went wrong with that production - bizarre unusual things like Micah … Read the rest

It’s been a long road to this episode.  It’s a huge honor and relief to present Episode 1 of Mario Warfare! ENJOY!

Our blog experienced a couple months of radio silence.  We were focused 100% on finishing Episodes 1 and 2 of Mario Warfare.  Now that those are in the bag, we’ve finally given the site an overdue redesign.  The biggest changes are the removal of features and pages we just didn’t use.  For one, there’s no longer a store for merchandise.  We really appreciate everyone who bought DVD’s and T-shirts.  But with our small crew, it was too difficult to run … Read the rest
