In a YouTube video titled "The Truth About Content Creation," Brian Mulondo and his wife, Manuela, revealed the challenges and commitments involved in producing their show, 'Bump Love'.
Brian Mulondo and his wife, Manuela, revealed what it takes to produce Bump Love.
This candid insight aims to address the disrespect content creators often face and highlight the effort required to deliver quality content to fans.
The couple disclosed that 'Bump Love' pays its three co-hosts—Manuela, Barbara Mugeni, and Beverley Nambozo Nsengiyunva—a monthly salary.
Each shooting day, the hosts receive support from a "glam squad," transport, and catering.
The production team consists of five members: a sound technician, three cameramen, and a content producer.
Brian Mulondo himself fulfills the roles of both content producer and director due to budget constraints.
The team rents three state-of-the-art cameras at Shs250k each and also covers lighting costs. Additionally, they employ an editor and a content reviewer, as well as a social media manager.
The latest season of 'Bump Love,' which introduced two new hosts, premiered on Friday, May 3, and received a lukewarm response.
The original cast members, apart from Manuela Mulondo, included Angie Kemi Omeke, Rachael Mwine Arinaitwe, Pumla Nabachwa, and Rosette Segujja, who had been with the show for five years.
The video was created to appeal to those who undermine the hard work behind the scenes and skip ads, which are crucial for revenue. Manuela Mulondo explained that their expenses often exceed their earnings, limiting their ability to meet some viewer demands, such as expanding the cast.
