The Film Georgia Store is Here!
by Staff on Dec.27, 2009, under Store
This evening we’re rolling out the new “Film Georgia Store” on Zazzle.com. Our first offerings include a few hats featuring a special version of the Film-GA logo, a couple of shirts, and our new line of “2nd Meal Mugs” (more on those below). The Zazzle store items can also be viewed right here at Film-Ga.com by going to the STORE link at the very top of this page (look up^^).
The 2nd Meal Mugs Collection features irreverent sayings related to various departments and jobs found only on a movie set; from camera assistants to background extras we’re hoping to eventually celebrate every person who contributes to the art of filmmaking. Our first batch of new mugs include these sayings:
- EXTRA: I put a little into every scene I walk through.
- CAFFEINE: It’s more important than checking the gate. Seriously.
- FEMININE MYSTIQUE: Just because I’m wearing a walkie doesn’t mean that I don’t have it.
- CONTINUITY: Yes, that scene was as badly directed as the last one. Totally matched.
- UPM: Destroyer of Kit Rentals – Don’t piss me off.
More are on the way, so stop by frequently to see what’s new, and follow us on Twitter for all the latest!
