[@projectaroid]

A lot of great tips. Thanks for sharing.

[@brandroidanimal]

awwwwMAN you have a proton pack!!!!! "southern belle accent...." WHERES MY FAINTIN COUCH?"hand to forehead while rollin eyes, of course...... hahahahaha

[@punishedprops]

The proton pack is one of my favorites! =D

[@xiggywiggs]

those dragons are so damn cute!!! in an amusing coincidence I was working through modeling a novelty lock last night for my kiddo, as part of my effort to find more stuff to print to justify how many 3d printers I've bought. :D
also, the surprise musical rendition at the end got me lol

[@izzymiller7035]

Another place to possible check out equipment is your library. Many are starting to have makerspaces and studios. (Edit: typo)

[@punishedprops]

That's a really fantastic idea!

[@groundcontrolto]

I make electronic bits and bobs, normally with loads of LEDs and boy are those things tough to photograph. As much as my phone is a bit old, having a manual mode on the camera really does help.

[@matthewkapala9243]

This is really great info, thanks for sharing! And congrats on the GizmoThrill launch - The kits look amazing and I'm looking forward to what you come out with next.

[@punishedprops]

Thanks for all you've helped me with! also have you considered making a republic commando helmet and armor? that would be amazing if you did that and posted a video for it for me. Have a great day!

[@WilliamJakespeareProps]

[@punishedprops]

It's worthing taking a day to shoot everything you can. Tons of fun and then you'll have all those great shots. I still have a bunch of stuff I need to shoot or re-shoot.

[@billbucktube]

👍👍‼️‼️

[@brandroidanimal]

man.... your back wall is just convulsion style NERDGASM!!!!!!
hahahahahahahaa

[@brandroidanimal]

i love fallouts style of a future stuck in a forties version of it....

[@Craftlngo]

Hey Bill I really appreciate your insights in photography and filming. This will help me to improve my photography skills. Btw. do you know the UA-cam channel Abandoned Miniatures? He is a specialist in macro photography and filmography. His builds and videos (and also all the information he provides about his work) are really worth a watch!

[@punishedprops]

Abandoned Miniatures is incredible! Great recommendation.

[@therealdeal4492]

I have a canon D90.. what lense would you recommend for taking pics of props? Is the D90 even capable of great sharp pics?

[@punishedprops]

The 90D is a great camera. Canon makes a 50mm f/1.8 lens that would be great with that camera.

[@therealdeal4492]

@@punishedprops great !! thanks for the reply ..I will pick up the 50mm!!

[@therealdeal4492]

Whenever I use a couple soft boxes like in your video I always get very grainy pics...I must be doing something wrong 🫤

[@legolegendzyt]

Do you do commissions just asking I just was curious

[@punishedprops]

We aren't currently taking commissions.

[@TLZ]

My phone camera is NOWHERE near as good as yours, but a few uears back i bought a canon m50 and its a nice step up.

[@punishedprops]

Ooh, I've played with the M50, it's a really neat camera.

[@brandroidanimal]

what pistol replica is that? looks very bladerunner.....

[@jamiebmorton]

It’s from the game “Starfield”.
