Hot Cheap Comedy
The Paperboy
Hot Cheap Comedy's retro arcade send-up, The Paperboy: Next Gen Edition. The Studio Creative built the 8-bit world around the performance with green screen and CG animation — the same pipeline we use to drop brands into environments that would cost a fortune to build for real.

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.
