Hot Cheap Comedy
Family Business
A Hot Cheap Comedy sketch produced with The Studio Creative in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Shot in a practical location rather than on green screen — the series uses whichever setup serves the joke, which is how it keeps a release schedule.

Before the shoot: Studio Projects, our own software. It takes the script, breaks it down scene by scene with a visual example for each one, describes every character, and builds a shot list per performer, so the whole cast walks on set knowing exactly what the day holds. Ask us about it.
