This week we’re pulling back the curtain on the guys who keep the lights running, the props standing, and the magic flowing — Tom Stallings and Fred! Forget the spotlight — these two are the backbone of big builds, helping everyone from first-timers to festival legends get their pixels in a row. We dive into:
- How they got started (spoiler: with less gear and more duct tape)
- Lessons learned from builds that should have been disasters
- The beauty of doing things the “wrong” way until it works
- And why being behind the scenes doesn’t mean being behind the magic
This one’s full of laughs, lighthearted roasting, and the kind of real talk that only comes from years of doing the dirty work no one sees — and loving it. 🛠️ In This Episode:
- Tom’s trick for staying calm when stuff explodes (figuratively… mostly)
- Fred’s “we’re doing it live” attitude in action
- Tales from Minis, installs, and long days that turned into longer nights
- Why community over clout always wins
🙌 These guys are the heart of the hobby — humble, helpful, and hilarious. 📣 Shout out your favorite behind-the-scenes hero in the comments
