Expensive paint, cheap paint

Recently I had a conversation with a client about the cost of paint.
Is it worth paying all that money when Walmart paint is wayyyyy cheaper?
You get what you pay for. The resins and quality are different and cheaper paints look cheap too.
So next time you think it doesn't matter what type of paint you use, remember, cheap paint IS cheap paint.

Pleasures of film painting

I am working on "Afghan Luke" right now. A film by the renowned Canadian Director, Mike Clattenburg. These independant films are always a challenge but way more rewarding than the big pictures.
 We plaster, paint, and create an Afghan village out of plywood and styrofoam.
The art comes in making it look real so you, the viewer, can believe the story that the director is trying to tell you.
