Hot Cheap Comedy
Power Pinch
An episode of Hot Cheap Comedy, the sketch series produced with The Studio Creative in Grand Blanc, Michigan. Shot on green screen so the set gets built in post — the workflow that lets the ensemble ship episodes without waiting on locations.

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, builds a shot list per performer, and generates the background images that replace the green screen. Ask us about it.
