HOW much did it cost for everything.

@nate64311 I don't' remember but I think it was around $100-$150.

Hi Mark,

What do you do with the stuff afther the shoot(s)??? and your previous shoots with backdrops that you build? do you recycle some of the stuff by painting them over or sell them ??

Just out of curiosity ;) keep posting these vids! I can appreciate them! :-)

Greetings

@Michel8704 Almost everything is used again on later sets. These large gray panels will become the walls to our DP1on1 set. The floor was the workbench in the former vids. Before that they were the stage for a Valentines Day shoot. On on it goes...

hey mark,

i love your work,

i love your videos

BUT

you need to stop posting these "set videos"

i see that there is a new video from snapfactory and i think its the new videos but its these.

the first couple were interesting but now it has become an unnecessary tease.

thanks

@BillytheFucknut Sorry you don't find them valuable. :) This is what we've been working on for the past couple of weeks and we've had a lot of questions about the process. We simply post vids based on our current work. "Normal" vids heading your way very soon (shot on these sets). We're also trying to show people why it takes a bit before the new vids show up: we're working hard to create them. Thanks for your patience.

i appreciate your knowledge mark, i plan on building a set and found it much less convoluted than i thought. Is it possible to get the google sketchup file for this though so i can change a few things to it for a new tv show i'm producing? It'd save me a lot of time! :)

hi mark, im planning on building a set for a music video! and i was wondering if you could give me a list of how much of each style of wood you bought so i could kinda price how mine would end up costing!

@salsero206 This is my uncle! He's pretty freakin awesome

Hey Snapfactory,

Please post more and more set building ideas and videos. Billythefucknut simply needs to skip such videos if he does not like em. There are plenty of us who see them as extremely valuable.
