The technology of filmmaking is constantly evolving. Back in the day, we used rear projection to make it look like you were sitting in a driving car. Then we figured out green screens to place our actors wherever we wanted. Now we have virtual sets. If you've watched The Mandalorian, you probably know that nearly the whole darn show is shot on a LED virtual set called "The Volume". What you may not know is that virtual sets and the brilliant "Unreal Engine" software that makes them possible is being used right here right now in Oklahoma.
Today we talk to our old pal, Ryan Bellgardt, who is no stranger to the show. It's been a while since we've checked in with him to see what he's been up to. Turns out, he's been up to A LOT! Enjoy the conversation and be sure to check him out along with Boiling Point Media.

VINTAGE EPISODE- FILMMAKING & FAMILY MATTERS w/ Shelly & Jeremy D'Apolito
This week we take a walk down memory lane and revisit our conversation with the D'Apolitos. These two are full time filmmakers and very proud parents. But how do they raise a kid while working 14 hour days and traveling all the time for movie shoots? Anyone that wants to make a career in film will at some point face that question of how to have a family while still pursuing a career. Enjoy!

Camera Department is probably one of the most sought after positions on the film set next to director and producer. The lenses, the cameras, the cool fancy doohickeys that make things look like, well, a movie! Today we talk to Phil Byrd, a long time veteran of the Oklahoma film industry as well as abroad. Phil is one of Oklahoma's top Assistant Camera Operators. He's also been our Director of Photography for Okie Show Show original sketches for literally since we got started. The dude has worked on basically everything. He's going to break down the positions of the camera department, the typical workflow, and we even nerd out on equipment! So strap in and enjoy the long overdue conversation with our pal, Phil Byrd.
