CRAFT SERVICES
Unlike other areas of filmmaking and production there's really no well produced, all-encompassing video on Craft Services. Trust me, I watched dozens for anything worth posting.
The basic rules of thumb are:
1) Shop smart and stay within budget
2) Offer as much variety and healthy choices as possible
3) Include veggies & dip, cereal, fruit, snack bars, some light sweets, water, soda and juice
4) But above all, feed your cast and crew — or else!
I did find one video worth sharing, however, cause honestly this one takes the cake.
Literally.
