Why I Started Making Stickers for Film Crew Pros
There’s a special kind of vibe on set. The glances, the unspoken rules, the automatic gestures. A silent camaraderie between crew members that often goes beyond words. And in our heads, there are always little thoughts flying around — full of humor, realism, or quiet frustration.
One day, I thought: « What if I took those thoughts out of my head… and stuck them on a gear case? »”
Humor, real-life, and a bit of glue
I’ve always loved customizing my gear — to spot my sound bag instantly among others, or simply to stand out from the crowd. Stickers let me do exactly that. (Yes, I even have one on my car.)
But it’s nothing new for me: I’ve been into stickers since I was a kid. I used to decorate my wardrobe, my school notebooks… And even today, I think these sticky graphic bits have a real place in our world. In a time where everything is becoming digital, the sticker still holds strong.. It’s tangible, direct, visible. It says something without needing to be online — and often says a lot about your personality, especially when there’s more than one stuck on.
The first drop: for soundies, of course
Naturally, I started with my field: sound.
The first batch of lines came from thoughts every real soundie has had at some point — served with a dose of humor, irony, and even a bit of cheek:
- « Thank God, there’s a soundie on set »
- « Keep calm… and shut up »
- « We ain’t gonna try to fix it in post. We fix it NOW. »
- « I’m here ’cause sound got screwed last time »
- « My heart goes boom »
- « No whispers during room tone »
Each sticker is a nod. A tiny silent manifesto. A knowing smirk printed and slapped on a flight case.
And what’s next? The rest of the crew’s not forgotten
This project was never meant to be all about sound. I want it to grow — to include the rest of the film crew: : DOPs, directors, camera assistants, maybe even sparks and script supervisors… Each role deserves its own punchlines, its own moment of recognition, its own dose of sarcasm.
Because that on-set culture? We all live it.
Stick them, share them, talk about themn
These stickers are made to be seen. To make a colleague smile. To trigger a chat. And sometimes, to gently remind people of things we wish they’d remember on set 😄
Stick them on:
- your mixer
- your cart
- your computer
- your case
- your mug (if you’re brave enough)
They’re here to claim your space, reflect your mindset, and show that yes — we work hard, but we’ve got style while doing it.
Where to get them ?
🎯 The first 6 designs are live on my shop:
💵 $ 6 each
📦 $ 25 for a 5-sticker pack (your choice from the collection)
Thank you !
Thanks to everyone who encouraged me to launch this, challenged or validated the punchlines, already ordered, or just inspired some of the ideas through all those « shhhhh »s, botched room tones, or « we’ll fix it in post » moments 😅
This project was born from a need to express what we all live through on set — with humor, honesty, and pride. Can’t wait to see where you’ll stick yours.
