Tuesday is new release day so who are we to mess with that? Our latest no-budget epic has arrived. We do hope you’ll head over and check out the page for the film by clicking here. This really was a fun one for everyone involved. We also have some photos from our premiere party for [...]
I don’t know what else I can say that the above headline doesn’t convey so succinctly. Anypoop, the new film is done. It’s called Dan vs. Earth and it’s 11 minutes long. It should be going up on the site in the next week or so. We are screening it tomorrow in front of a [...]
History: The katana: a magical, mystical, mysterious piece of eastern cultural history. One of the most baddest weapons ever imagined by humans. Just holding it in your hands makes you feel like a samurai. Even this replica, barely sharp enough to cut through cardboard much less a human torso, radiates an aura that fires something [...]
History: As the Strange Ink Pictures Prop Master I have made significant contributions to the collection. In fact, one could go so far as to say that the Strange Ink Pictures Prop Department is merely the Dan Larson Prop Department with a different name. Of the 3 items I have catalogued so far in this [...]
History: This is an item that was transferred from my personal collection to the Strange Ink Prop department. I picked this up a few years back at a renaissance festival, but you don’t have to suffer that kind of humiliation to get one of these. There are lots of places online that sell all different [...]

Even though most of my performance was lying down [...]
This is just a real quick blog post letting everyone know that we are going to be shooting a short film today fictionalizing Dan’s injury and subsequent recovery. We are hoping to have it shot today, edited over the next week and posted by next Sunday which is the eight week anniversary of his fall. [...]
Welcome to the first in a very, very long series of entries cataloging the inventory of the Strange Ink Pictures prop department. As Prop Master (and Props Master) I will be your host as we document the history, application and value of the multitude of items that fill the trunks and closets of our production [...]
So here we are, at the end the decade referred to some as “The Aughts” and others as “The Decade That Ruins End of Decade Lists Because it is Referred to as the Aughts”. Anyway, over the last week or so I’ve been reflecting on my storied carrer as a professional consumer and started thinking [...]
So with the new film came the need for music for said film. Because the film was being released under the creative commons license we headed over to the free music archive and after a few (4 or 5) hours we had the music we needed for the film. All of the songs are now [...]
