Additional Information

BlackStripe is a NON-UNION production company.  All productions are shot on a Cannon XL-1s digital camera. We edit on a Video Toaster 3 system.

BlackStripe has a substantial gaffer / lighting package. Over half of our income is lighting and makeup work.

All the administration work is done in our home office in Putnam, CT

BlackStripe has worked in conjunction with many other local directors, producers, and businesses.
We have done this in the past for minimal compensation in the spirit of advancing the local indie scene.

However our workload is so heavy now that we have to be very selective about which other productions we will assist on for minimal pay.

 Don't be afraid to ask us, but keep in mind that you will have to pitch a price that's competitive with other production companies now. Everyone wants to make a movie. You can work with people less experienced for less, but you will be paying for it with stress and most likely low production quality.

In many cases we have helped productions wrap UNDER BUDGET.  Simply beacuse productions run faster, smoother, and more cost effective with our experienced talent and crew.  BlackStripe is a collection of people. Not an individual with a camera.

We can assist from pre-production to post-production. Even with distribution options.

We are a friendly bunch of people. Looking to create marketable products and great artistic works. We represent actors, models, and comedians in the local area. All of whom are the best talent we have found after THOUSANDS of auditions.

After over 15 years of production experience. We have a phenominal reputation for keeping our word, doing great work, and most of all. Communicating effectively. If you have specific questions e mail us at Kobra@BlackStripe-Video.com or call 860-933-2974
