🌍✨In honor of we’re sharing one of our fun (and fact-filled) collaborations with Yellow Dot Studios, in which climate change naysayer Ted Rack schools climate scientist Dr. Henri Drake on better (and more fun!) ways to communicate about climate issues.

But seriously, we can make a difference, one conversation at a time (but it helps if we make it more about the land-sharks 🦈 that are coming to eat our signed baseball card collections, right?).

Happy Earth Day from all of us at Butcher Bird! 🌳

Are you tired of scientists telling us mean bad facts about our world in confusing ways?

According to the most recent research from the Center for the Study of Women in Film and Television at San Diego State University, women accounted for less than a quarter of all directors, writers, producers, executive producers, editors, and cinematographers working on the 250 top grossing films in 2023.

At Butcher Bird we strive for gender equity in all we do.

Let’s make history everyday!

Happy Women’s History Month from Butcher Bird Studios.

‘Can’t a girl RIP around here?’

When Hugh Hefner is buried next door (yes, this happened), Marilyn Monroe has finally had it, with everything. So, she escapes and runs into the canyons - to join mountain lions. She tells us all about it in this mash-up of mostly true things from her life, a meditation on fame, power, and the need to break free.

This film, written by acclaimed author and playwright Deanne Stillman, directed by Lillian Diaz-Przybyl, starring Shayne Eastin, and produced by Butcher Bird Studios, has won several awards, including an Indie X Fest Award for Best Achievement in Experimental Shorts, a Best Actress Award from the Indie Short Fest, and an Honorable Mention for Best Production Design from the Indie Short Fest.

Virtual production is a powerful tool in our creative arsenal, and at Butcher Bird, we’re pioneering a workflow that puts this technology directly in the hands of independent studios, brands, and creatives.

How do we do it, you ask?

Our live, multi-camera virtual production solution utilizes a green screen volume instead of an LED wall, which traditionally comes with significant overhead and maintenance.

With accessible virtual production, we’re able to collapse the distance between imagination and final result like never before.

You've heard of virtual production and LED walls, but you've probably never seen it quite like this.

Over the last six months here at Butcher Bird, we've been cooking up something completely new: a workflow for live, multi-camera virtual production on a green screen volume. Our team of engineers, artists, and filmmakers came together for this technical showcase to create a range of diverse virtual environments in Unreal Engine, taking you from classic broadcast sets, to the jagged cliffs of Iceland, to an unknown alien moon and beyond. Through collaborations with powerhouse companies like Pixotope and Blackmagic Design, we're able to make dynamic virtual production shows accessible for independent studios, brands, and platforms like never before.

Butcher Bird Studios has partnered with a team of amazing technology companies to develop a new dynamic and cost-efficient approach to virtual production, using…
