  • Good news! You’re both wrong or at least not entirely right. That’s called greeking and is done on literally any brand, marketing or imagery of any kind unless specifically approved by that company, and or the artist that made the imagery regardless of whether that company has given them money or not. Its often done with a sticker and a graphic made of some made up brand or maybe just tape over it but this is my favorite type. This means the on set dresser took that from crafty because they weren’t expecting a fridge shot today and “greeked” out surge by using a sharpie to fill in the spaces. Just great work right there.

    This is all out of fear that they might be sued. That’s all.














  • I worked with a guy who banned together with a few of his college friends and made a sort of communal maker space. They rented a space, each had their own area and supplied the space with various tools that the others could use. They would occasionally rent out space for someone to come make something using their tools and sometimes experience. This would subsidize the rent for them to have space in which they could do as they please.

    This is a relatively common practice within the art world (they were furniture makers/designers) but I don’t see why this wouldn’t be just as if not more productive with a bunch of engineers. I also have often seen companies grow out of such arrangements. You share a space, start working collaboratively, and before you know it you’ve got a shared product to sell.

    The other added benefit is there’s always someone around to help you unload, setup and be excited about that CNC you found.
