"Tips" News Updates:
The "Tips" crew was selling these gorgeous mugs to raise more money for their post-production. The post-production included final edits, sending the film to Fotokem for transcoding, coloring, and output to DCP format for the showcase. The crew also filmed some pickup shots in April to perfect the movie.
The crew is filming Tips on their beautiful set using the ARRI ALEXA. This is a picture of the director Chelsea Morgan looking in the lens at the set of Tips.
TIPS created their kick starter video to add to their budget to create the film. Take a closer look at the film and the crew behind it in the video below.
