Welcome!

Welcome, and thanks for taking the time to read our blog! We appreciate any support we get.

Where did our name come from?
Previously we were known as "J.E.L. Productions" to our friends and family, but we discovered that the name "J.E.L. Productions" is not only copyrighted somewhere, but it's all over the internet. Do a Google search and you'll see what I mean. We knew we had to change our name, and so after much debating we settled on the name "Flip of the Coin Productions", because we needed to change our name at the flip of a coin (yeah, it's a stretch off of "drop of the hat", but we liked it). After Googling to make sure the name wasn't taken, we took it. That's where our name came from.

What are we about? 
Well, I'm about 5'6"...wait, d'you mean you wanna know what we're "about", as in, what we aim to do? Yes? Oh. Well, our goal is to create original, family-friendly videos, movies and films without big budgets or extremely fancy filmmaking gear (although we are getting a DSLR for shooting video and better audio equipment). We have many ideas for films, a web series and other random videos. In fact, we're going to start shooting a film next summer. It's a spoof off of most 1980s sci-fi films (in terms of style) and has an absolutely ridiculous plot line. I was drawing storyboards for the film before I posted this, and will continue to do so when I'm done. I'll probably post pictures of some of them at a later time. I love the process of filmmaking. Every aspect of it is a lot of fun, especially the camera work and film editing.

Stay tuned for future posts, which will include links to videos, photos, and stories about our days of production.
