How to go from a 16-year-old production assistant to opening your own multi million-dollar creative studio in 4 years: I started working as a production assistant at age 16, but I always knew I wanted to be a producer. So I had to start working my way up … from the very bottom. The first thing I did? Start turning down jobs as a production assistant and look for gigs that would get me to the next level. At this point, that meant hunting for “production coordinator” jobs. So I became a production coordinator. After being a production coordinator, I knew I needed to get into production managing. So I became a production manager. From there, I focused on getting into “line producing”— the next step up. Again, I turned down the stability of production managing jobs whenever possible, giving me the capacity to accept more line-producing work. So I became a line producer. This process repeated over the years — work hard to prove myself and then take the leap to get to the next level. And finally, at the age of 20, I started my own creative studio, SixTwentySix. Through every transition, from one role to the next, I consciously took the risk of losing work to make space for what I really wanted. I’ll be honest, it was a pretty uncomfortable place to be. But so many of the founders I look up to have said the same thing: Want to accelerate your own growth? Get comfortable being uncomfortable.

You Better Recognize! A talented supervisor or manager is astute enough to understand that an employee is not defined by his or her job title/description. I once worked at a film production company where I was promoted three times in six months. I started out answering phones and making coffee and was soon the Visual Effects Coordinator for the biggest budget IMAX film to that date. Why? Because the producer (who went on to found RealD 3-D) could see that my skills of working hard, doing things quickly and always saying ‘yes’ to what I was asked would translate into the 60+ hours per week on a film set. How could a ‘receptionist’ become an integral part of a multi-million dollar production? How could a production assistant for a home shopping network become the Operations Director of the network in less than a year? Yep… same guy. Thanks to supervisors, managers, executives and corporate presidents who could all assess talent and not be confined by a title. So, hiring managers… take a closer look at that resume from the person that doesn’t have the exact qualifications or job title you’re looking for. Dig deeper. Look for qualities, talents and skills rather than a direct 1:1 correlation. A more well-rounded candidate might just be available.

This is something you'll never hear me say... On certain production sets, you may not have the resources to bring on professional talent. Lots of times, you (we) utilize local connections, friends, family etc to fill a role on camera. More often than not, you'll find the "talent" has minimal experience in front of the camera (this isn't a bad thing!) As directors, producers, and camera operators, we have our bag of tricks to make sure the talent is at ease and authentic on camera. Some of these include: Authenticity: In an interview setting, reminding the talent we're having a casual conversation. Props: I've found talent can relax and appear more natural on camera when they have something to hold ( a wine glass, a notepad, a water bottle etc - whatever fits the scene). Imagery: Remind the talent of the emotions or feelings you're trying to portray. Even though as a director I think it's obvious, the talent may need a reminder. And my FAVORITE: Talent can become self-conscious on camera. A great reminder is to explain that "You may feel like you're doing too much/being extra." Reassure the talent, that on camera, these actions appear "natural." I've found it's easier to start being "extra" and work backwards than vise versa. Thoughts? Try these the next time you have to film content for you brand and require on-camera talent! And if you want a company who will handle all of this (video production) for you, including making your talent appear authentic and natural on camera, reach out to me! #videoproduction #videodirector #brandbuilding

Let me explain the difference between a Production Supervisor and Post Production Supervisor to you like a ten year old 😂 Imagine making a movie🤔 A Production Supervisor is like the chief builder on set, while a Post Production Supervisor is the editor who puts all the scenes together to make the final movie 🎬 Production Supervisor: Works on set during filming Makes sure everything runs smoothly. Solves problems on the spot. 🎬 Post Production Supervisor: They work after filming is done Picks the best scenes and puts them in order Adds cool stuff like sound effects and music (epic battle themes!), So, the Production Supervisor helps build the movie on set, while the Post Production Supervisor edits and polishes it after filming to make the final masterpiece. --------------------------------------------- ✅Thanks for engaging with today's "Frame by Frame" session with David Adesokan Follow David Adesokan for more simplified insights I am Coming🎥🧑💻🎦 iEdit, iShoot, iWrite
