Building compounds is easier than renting them.

Experiences in the Industry

I've had the unique opportunity to experience both sides of the creative and commercial spectrum in the entertainment industry. My journey has taken me from selling motorhomes, which are often used by various professionals in the industry for travel and accommodation, to constructing elaborate compounds that serve as the backdrop for some of the most iconic projects in film and music. Through these diverse experiences, I've gained invaluable insights into the intricacies of managing spaces that cater to the artistic needs of high-profile clients.

The Value of Custom-Built Environments

Let me tell you, there is a significant difference between working in a pre-existing space that may be overpriced and poorly managed, and creating a custom environment tailored to your specific requirements. When you build the scenery yourself, you have the freedom to design every aspect of the space to suit the creative vision you have in mind. This not only enhances the overall experience for everyone involved but also ensures that the environment fosters creativity and productivity.

Client Relationships and Success Stories

Over the years, many clients have sought my expertise to help accommodate their talent, and I have had the privilege of working with some of the most renowned figures in the entertainment industry. From the legendary Stevie Wonder, whose musical genius requires an inspiring atmosphere, to the dynamic Snoop Dogg, who thrives in environments that reflect his unique style, and even the talented Nicole Kidman and visionary director Peter Jackson, each project has presented its own set of challenges and rewards. These collaborations have not only enriched my portfolio but have also solidified my belief in the importance of building spaces that are specifically designed for the needs of the talent.

A Call to Action for Creatives

With all this experience under my belt, I can sit here and honestly tell clients: BUILD YOUR SETS, BUILD YOUR SPACES FROM SCRATCH! There is immense power in taking control of your creative environment. If you find yourself on location, don’t hesitate to rent a cube truck. This vehicle can serve as a versatile tool for transporting materials and equipment, allowing your creative team to design the space exactly how you envision it. By doing so, you ensure that your artistic vision is realized without compromise, and you maintain control over the entire creative process.

Conclusion: Embracing Creative Control

In conclusion, the ability to shape your surroundings is not just a luxury; it is a crucial component of successful creative endeavors. Whether you are working on a film set, a music video, or any other artistic project, taking the initiative to build your own spaces can lead to a more fulfilling and productive experience. Embrace the opportunity to create environments that inspire and elevate your work, and you will undoubtedly see the benefits reflected in the final product.

During the time I rented people talent trailers, there were many clients who would ask me if they could customize, and the answer was always no. I wondered, doesn't it matter if we make a trailer specific to these needs? Later, another client will have completely different needs, and there will never be a one-size-fits-all solution to every production. That's when I realized, in order for a production project or event to be a success, especially on location, you need to create compounds from scratch. Hiring a third party to manage the budget and streamline all your other third parties is the only way to go from 2025 until the end of time. Hiring a company like Bad Birdy Corp can help you streamline your vendors and will provide you with the tools you need for a successful production campaign or event.
