This is not the Editor's job. 😂🤦♂️🙄☠️ If there is a scene with multiple takes, it is THE! PRODUCER'S! JOB! to mark which ones they decide are the good ones! 😂🤷♂️ If you run into a situation with lazy producers, 😂 always take THE LAST VERSION because once they stop filming, they are satisfied. It's literally not your job to Frankenstein sentences when nobody who was on-set told you what was good and what was bad. Besides... If they didn't tell you, how do they know? 🤔 If they leave it up to you, do whatever you want. They obviously aren't watching the footage and doing THEIR JOB, so they won't have any way of knowing which takes you used or discarded. ==== Having said that, that's not how *I* work! 😂 Since I actually know what I'm doing 🧙♂️ I know when the on-air-talent looks and sounds the best, so I always use that. I'll use cutaways to bridge from section to section, but I'm always striving to make the talent look and sound their best. The way you "compare a single line across all takes" is you do this for years and years and develop TALENT! 😂

How do you produce a commercial? Too many of us are still using dated production methodologies. What works well for big-budget broadcast TV commercials doesn’t work for YouTube, TikTok, e-commerce or even a CTV campaign.  Does your product-focused, musically driven commercial production truly need full agency creative + production teams; a feature film director; a 30-person live-action crew; an editorial house; a VFX house; a music house, and a sound designer? Or is that just the way you’ve always done it? Could your campaign be better served by hiring a creator and supporting them with seasoned key crew members and a 5 person crew? Do you need the full support of a global professional editorial firm, or can you work more nimbly by contracting directly with some of the best fractional editorial, VFX, and music house talent in the world? Not every commercial campaign needs to fit within a traditional Broadcast Television production methodology. Your budget will work harder without it.

You accepted a bad deal, probably because you were desperate for money. Nobody is excellent at writing AND filming AND editing. You haven't specialized in anything so you're going to get used as a "Jack of all trades". People have to recognize that they're desperate. You are in the wrong business. If somebody wants you to PRODUCE and FILM and EDIT, that means they're too cheap to hire A PRODUCER, A VIDEOGRAPHER, and AN EDITOR! That means THEY are in the wrong business. Stop making deals with broke people who are trying to build their businesses off of your back. - How much would it cost them to hire a Producer? - How much would it cost them to hire a Videographer? - How much would it cost them to hire an Editor? - How much would it cost them to purchase your equipment? - How much would it cost them to move you from place to place? I've been picked up by Company Cars that I had to sign the receipt for (of course the Company paid for it! 😂) where it was $120 to pick me up from my location and drive me to the client location... IN ONE DIRECTION!!! 🤣🤦♂️ When I used to 9-5, I knew a guy who lived in Philadelphia and commuted every weekday morning to Manhattan 🗽🇺🇸 FOR TWO HOURS ONE WAY!!!!! 😱☠️ Think about that. 🤔 He was traveling FOUR HOURS PER DAY for an EIGHT HOUR JOB!!! If you set up your deal improperly, that's YOUR FAULT and YOUR PROBLEM! 😂 If you agreed to do something without knowing whether you could do it or not, you might have dug yourself into a hole that you can't get out of.

“What even is a Producer??” The number of times I get this question is astounding, especially when it’s asked by people in the entertainment industry. In conversation, I try to explain using examples from daily life, but often my audience gets lost. Frankly, the answer isn’t all that simple. I’ve found that for every project, every studio, and every producer themselves have a different definition of what the role of “Producer” looks like. For some projects, the clearly defined ‘Line Producer’ is the person who “handles the money,” while in other spaces, like my most recent contract at King Studio, I found this title to be a little more flexible. As a ‘Creative Producer’ at King Studio, I wrote, pitched, developed, ideated, budgeted, hired, planned, managed, coordinated, directed, and wrapped projects. This workload isn’t universal to a Producer’s role; at a smaller studio, the title of ‘Producer’ can be pretty broad. Generally, Producers are go-getters and, at times, jack-of-all-trades. Sounds stressful? It can be, but Producers find joy and order in that chaos. Ideally, the Producer is the engine for the ship that is the project. Sure, you have the captain (director) and the crew, but having a Producer do a lot of the grueling (and maybe heavy?) lifting down below is essential to its success. If you are a Creative, especially one who is struggling to finish projects alone, you need to hire a Producer. Even if this person isn’t skilled in the task at hand, they will hire, resource, or simply grind their way into getting that task done. So next time someone asks you what a Producer is, feel free to try and explain. Or simply say: “They’re the magic behind the mayhem.” #Producer #Creative #Production #CreativeProducer #YouTube #CreativeIdeation #Producing #Filmmaking

Great and insightful post. My experience as a "producer" has been the complete opposite, and it leaves me confused as to how I should classify my past work. I've never really had a position where I was purely creative or purely admin, it was always just a matter of being the person who took something from "idea" to "deliverable." Sometimes, that means picking up a camera, sitting in the edit bay, and handling distribution. Sometimes it just means hiring other professionals and managing the process. Sometimes it means coming up with my own idea and doing most or all of the legwork necessary to make it real. It almost always means relationship building, project management, and budgeting. When I started doing production work 20 years ago, I didn't know many producers who actually had chops in the field, or experience in NLEs and DAWs. Now, I would have a hard time trusting a "producer" who doesn't know how to navigate premiere pro, or handle basic camera settings.
