When I first discovered Studio 188, it was love at first sight. Well, on my side at least. These guys recreate famous movies and TV shows using nothing but household items and their limitless imagination.

Since Squid Game has been all the rage lately, it’s no wonder that they decided to recreate that, too. And just as always: they nailed it! Once again, they used food, drink, and props from around the house and turned them into a brilliant and hilarious low-budget version of the famous Korean series.

“You’re too expensive.”

“My budget is not that big, can you lower the price?”

“But the [random other photographer] is cheaper than you!”

Sounds familiar? I believe we’ve all been there. No matter how much you charge, there will always be someone who will tell you that you’re too expensive, who will compare you to other (cheaper) photographers, and who will want to pay what they have, not what you charge. While your first thought may be to tell them “oh, bugger off,” you know that it’s certainly not the best thing to do. In this video, Michael Sasser gives you some useful tips on how to keep your cool and how to react when your potential clients complain about your price.

Even if you have a limited budget, you can still recreate the look of some famous movies and TV shows if you have enough imagination. But guys from Studio 188 are taking these recreations to a whole new (and utterly hilarious) level. They create low-budget trailers for famous movies and TV series. Actually, zero-budget could be a better description, since they use nothing but household items and their imagination. Terminator 2, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, you name it – they can recreate it, and make you laugh out loud when you see the result.

There have been quite a lot of memes over the years about client budget vs expectation, but these examples from Paris based comedian Alex Ramires are absolute genius.

His low budget The Little Mermaid is hilarious. It’s pretty much a shot for shot remake of a song from the movie, with some pretty perfect camera work and the most amazing terrible props you’ve ever seen in your life.
