"Why is video production so expensive? My cousin has a DSLR and said he could shoot this for $150." I LOVE getting this question, because it gives me a chance to demonstrate the VALUE that qualified video producers can add to a project. When you hire a professional, you: 1. Get someone who's not just a button pusher, but a partner 2. Use equipment that isn't going to fail on you 3. Get a whole team dedicated to specific functions 4. Get people who know how to interact with executives, celebrities, and other VIPs 5. Are given a clear vision of the process from start to finish 6. Get someone who knows how to roll with the punches 7. Support someone in their career, not their pastime With video playing such a vital role in every campaign, do yourself a favor: make the investment. You'll end up looking like a rockstar. 📸 Cody Madsen

I could not have said this any better. Kudos to Nick Bacon for listing out the reasons WHY and the VALUE professionals bring to the table. Yes, you can do it for less, but do you really want to? Here are the reasons to work with a pro ⬇ #AV #EventDesign #ProfessionalSolutions

Remote production is a hot topic in the broadcast world right now! So hot infact, it's a topic at Innovative Insights, our upcoming Showcase, Expo and Industry Panel Session event on the 20th June. You should be there! https://lnkd.in/g2QvWEbb But back to the topic at hand...Remote production. If we are needing to have a system sit idle and be on standby onsite, not because of equipment failure but because of connectivity reliability, then what's the point?! Also, that's not very 'sustainable'!!!??? In fact it's quite the opposite. ooooooo now isn't this good material for a great conversation 😉 #weneedtotalk #innovativeinsights

Technology can and will fail... I've been working as the TD for the Phillies broadcasts at the Giants this week. For those that don't know, many visiting sports broadcasts now run multiple positions remotely. They differ from show to show but in this case the Producer, Director, Graphics and lead replay were in Philadelphia. In a tie game at the bottom of the 9th, our connection and backup connection to their remote control room failed. The on-site crew immediately took over without hesitation. I began directing, our stage manager helped guide talent through breaks, our secondary replay op took the lead and our A1 worked to regain coms while continuing to mix. The game went to extra innings, eventually ended in a walkoff and the broadcast went off air without a restored connection. The audience never was the wiser. The live production industry, for good reason, will continue to utilize remote and cloud production. But as we geographically spread out the production footprint the need for technical backup solutions and high-quality, versatile labor becomes even more critical for production success. Technology will fail but that doesn't mean the production has to fail with it. #remoteproduction #cloudproduction #technicaldifficulties

As mention in one of Bryan’s videos from a A Life After Layoff as their is going to be some unpredictable job layoffs within the market for several industries, that people are going to face & undergo for the 2024 calendar year(depending on how their fiscal quarters situations do & vary up). The Walt Disney Company slashed 7,000 positions in series of three-waves (in 2023) for diluting about 3% of their global workforce, in effort to save $5.5B+ in cost savings. Now fast forward towards today in 2024, as being reported by TechCrunch that Pixar Animation Studios is being targeted, for “a number of 1,000 positions being laid off”, of about 20% of what sources are saying. This is due towards the subject matter for like upcoming film schedules/productions and staffing for future greenlight films.

Great opportunity in Houston

How I managed multiple stakeholders for Disney, Gameloft & GungHo. (without causing chaos) 5 different companies. 5 different goals. 5 different mindsets. What a pack to welcome. Getting 5 giant companies to agree on a game's vision? I learned valuable lessons from this experience. Managing multiple stakeholders requires: - Clear communications - Lots of patience - Deep understanding of priorities To do this you should: - Build strong relationships with stakeholders - Ensure smooth negotiations - Timely project execution Because success from large deals. Comes from respecting each stakeholder's needs. All while finding common ground. For example. During my time at Gameloft, since the teams were overseas. Some in Japan. Some in the US. Some in Europe. Culture & diplomacy played a big role. One wrong move, and you've burst the bubble. This is why having a plan to manage stakeholders. Can be the guiding light for your game studio. "If they win, you win" PS. Do you manage multiple stakeholders overseas?
