Fall SOS Workshops #1 and #2 are DONE!
Well well well, two more workshops are done! There were some room confusions this time around, but all in all, you guys rocked as always! Super patient and always ready for 3 hours of laughter. :)

Thanks!!!

Many shots frankly don't need a superstar, and other shots can't be done by anybody less than amazing. You build your team in sections accordingly. The percentages may fluctuate some, but in general here's how you build a team, going from most expensive to least expensive team members--
Read the rest of Keith Lango's breakdown, very interesting! Thanks Ting for the tip (took me a while to post this...).
