Hi friends, we are growing out our incredible team here at NBCU! If you know someone who dreams in beautifully functional templates and thinks in slides. Send em' Sam's way would ya? And if that's you... I ask. What if you could work on a team that is genuinely & fiercely valued for the specific design talents of storytelling? Articulating the abstract, clarifying a narrative and helping beautiful ideas see the light of day. What indeed, sound fun?

When did Producer roles turn into being a one-person production team? They want you to be marketing extraordinaire editor videographer  graphic designer strategist  social media manager analyst  sound designer …and more For a salary between $55k-$85k? That’s 8+ roles in one! It’s laughable and downright ridiculous. Companies expecting one person to fulfill all those roles just shows potential employees that they want one person to do all the work it takes a team to accomplish without the respect of paying appropriately. At the end of the day it says “we’d rather find the person who’s willing to do all of these roles in one so we can keep business costs low and get away with not hiring a team.” Companies - can you stop doing this in 2024 and beyond? #jobsearch #jobseekers #dontbefooled #videoproduction #video

🚩Remember: A Creative Director is hired to DIRECT the creative. The title is the job description. If you’re being thrown “idunnos”w/ no compass that’s called a vague director. And the only traction you’ll get is spinning wheels. 

👉 Behind every captivating video lies a story of detailed planning and precise execution. Discover the art and effort behind every frame! 🎥 As a filmmaker, one common question I encounter is, "Why does video shooting take so much time?" Let's explore why this time investment is crucial for creating high-quality videos that truly represent your brand and message. 🎬 Pre-Production: The Foundation of Success 🎬 1. Concept Development: Crafting a compelling concept and storyline tailored to your goals and audience takes thoughtful planning and creativity. 2. Scriptwriting: Developing a script that conveys your message clearly and effectively requires multiple drafts and fine-tuning. 3. Location Scouting & Scheduling: Finding the perfect location and coordinating schedules with the crew and talent ensures a smooth shoot. 📹 Production: Bringing Vision to Life 📹 1. Lighting & Sound Setup: Quality lighting and sound are critical to professional video production. Setting up and adjusting equipment to achieve the best possible quality takes time and precision 2. Multiple Takes: Achieving the perfect shot often requires multiple takes, each contributing to a polished final product. 3. Directing Talent : Guiding actors and presenters to deliver their best performance involves time, patience, and expertise. 🎨 Post-Production: The Magic Happens Here 🎨 1. Editing: Piecing together footage, selecting the best shots, and ensuring a smooth flow takes time and precision. 2. Sound Design & Music : Enhancing the audio with sound effects and music that complement the visuals adds depth and emotion. 3. Color Grading & Visual Effects: Fine-tuning colors and adding any necessary effects elevate the overall production quality. 4. Review & Revisions: Feedback and revisions are crucial to ensuring the final product meets your expectations and goals. This collaborative process ensures your vision is accurately realized. ⏰ The Value of Time in Video Production Investing time in each stage of video production results in a high-quality, professional video that effectively communicates your message and captivates your audience.

Transferring creative ideas and imagination is so difficult. I have specific way and a vision for every thumbnail that goes on our channel. Unless I write it out so specifically that it's nearly impossible to screw up, leaving people to their own devices rarely gets the result I want. The question is more, do I let it go and take that time back? Hire a creative director? (I'm not a creative firm and it seems like overkill). Or do I continue to "hover" over this very important process and continue to refine.

In times when every other post is about mass layoffs, corporate restructuring & shrinking budgets it's important to remind each-other that great opportunities still exist. Businesses are still hiring, and for my creative folks-- your dream job is out there. Like this one! Creative direction & baseball. What a gig! Now go get'em Tiger. #Toronto #advertising #sports #creativehiring

Stop exploiting job seekers by creating misleading job titles in the creative/production field! It's unfair to advertise a role as a "video specialist" only to reveal a job description that includes Ideation, Scripting, Shooting (direction/dop), Editing, VFX, and SFX - a job that technically requires 4-5 people. While some may possess these skills, it takes years of learning and experience to truly excel. Let's be transparent and respectful to candidates by accurately representing the roles we're hiring for. Had to say this. #jobtitles #hiringprocess #transparency #videoproduction #linkedin #connections
