Hey y'all, check out my latest video on how a line producer operates in a broadcast news control room and let me know what you think! I had fun with this one. And I think I'm getting the hang of the editing!

WHAT DOES A PRODUCER DO? I was intrigued to hear this very relevant pod on Producers. Specifically, Hollywood producers are making the case that there is one clear producer - albeit they acknowledge there could be room for more - but they want the system to acknowledge the role of what they call a CAREER PRODUCER. My first thought is that now we have another name for what a Producer does. But so be it, at least it's clear'ish. The case is being made that there is a singular Producer who is responsible for making a movie. Let me describe the role of a producer before we get into the meat of what I consider to be the ultimate job of the producer. A Producer, with a CAPITAL "P", is the CEO of a very large corporation. They do nothing and they do everything. They are the glue. They hold the project together. You can't always see what a producer does. Sometimes you can barely describe what a producer does on a day-to-day basis. Perhaps its best to invert the equation - without a producer, the movie would not exist, likely would not hold together, and frankly I have no idea how the movie would get made. If there is nothing to unite the vision and bond the group together, there is no group. There is no bond. There is no movie. So yeah, I believe deeply in the role of a Producer. But if someone asked me what I do, it's a hard answer. And one that can create both controversy and disperate answers, at best, among the community of producers. Which, to be precise, is exactly why in my last post I talk specifically about WHO the Producer is; making the case - and not even my case as I was merely standing on the shoulder of a giant - that the Producer is the person who owns the copyright. Why? Because they control the rights to the project and are therefore the central decision maker in it. But what, then, if you take those rights away? And many times, that is the case. What then is the job of the Producer when there are often outside forces - in the studio system or generally speaking other requirements - that force copyright out of the hands of the producer? I started a list...: - Find the underlying IP - Negotiate for the right to obtain that IP - Hire the writer - Develop the project (noting this part alone can take years) - Take the project to market / Finance the film (can take years) - Package the material (Director, Stars, ABL Talent) - Make the movie (this section here would require a novel to be written to describe the inner workings of this process alone). - Manage all of the relationships while making the movie (this is a full-time job and incremental to the physical requirements of making a movie). - Find distribution for your movie (this may have been done before the physical production, but it's a massive part of the process). The list goes on. The point is that I don't think Producers are an endangered species. The Producer is the impresario. And there has, time immemorial, been a job for this role. Good luck; Go Get it!

GROUPING GETS GROOVY 🕺🧐🔥 - The enduring excellence of Group It For Me! Written by Jason "JJ" Jamieson Market research was recently conducted polling a focus group consisting of post production professionals across the scripted and unscripted realms in Los Angeles on the subject of "grouping". The intriguing findings and side-by-side comparisons were documented in this fascinating technical article. A must read!!!! https://lnkd.in/gMvxje3v

Today's video review: 543 presets (= 543 sounds generated in real time and exportable as audio if required) for Synth One. Presets can be variations of the same type of sound; they serve mainly as reference points for reworking a preset as required. I have yet another task: I have to go through all the sounds, assign them a different interval between when the sound starts and when it stops, then write it all down in my spreadsheet. I've only processed 19 synths out of 100 (I thought I had 80, but in fact there are 100), and I'm already up to 543 sounds. I'm not out of the woods in this first phase of working with Synth One. #Wwise #SynthOne

How are you the Producer AND Director of a situation and you didn't instruct both the Videographers and the Audio Recorders to use time-of-day timecode? 🤔😂🤡 This isn't even an issue 🥱 as if you're using Premiere, you place everything in the sequence and synchronize by audio. 🤷♂️ Which apparently you also don't know, so how are these people getting work? 🤔 #WhereDoTheyGetThesePeople? #VideoEditing #FirstWorldProblems

I had an amazing opportunity to speak on one of the topics very close to my heart with Clement Manyathela on Family Matters today. Here is the link below if you would like to have a listen. This is such a relevant, meaningful and loaded topic!!! https://lnkd.in/dB9V2yTG
