It's interesting to watch studios go back to older systems of acquiring talent. Will this continue? Will we branch off and have micro communities for content with talent under contract obligations? How will this ripple out for future productions?

DI studios used to deliver formats for theatrical releases and satellite distribution then suddenly the scenario got changed when the whole world landed right in the heart of OTTs. The adaptation of DI Studios to new workflows and the task of delivering many formats like SDR, HDR and Dolby Vision became new normal. DI Studios now have more responsibility and a wider scope as we need to deliver projects in different formats for different platforms that too with different specs for different OTTs. #promoworks #chennai #movies #series

Break a leg to everyone returning to set! However, be wary of possible delays in production due to the dramatic rise in demand of equipment, access to sound stages/shooting locations, and access to seasoned crews/personel. Rushing to get projects started and finished quickly without the proper staff or following normal protocols will most likely trigger more filming delays. Be vigilant and involve your company’s internal risk control team or your insurance’s risk control team for guidance when you’re not sure or concerned about a possible loss.

Co-productions and pre-buys are back in fashion ! Shouldn’t be anything new, at least not to European producers. We’re basically back to how many projects used to be engineered. At least it’s the way I’ve worked on most of -if not all of- the projects I’ve developed and set up, among which Midnight Sun/ Jour Polaire (SVT /CANAL+ Group /STUDIOCANAL), Agent Hamilton (TV4 /ZDF /Beta Film GmbH ), or Whiskey On the Rocks (SVT /Disney Streaming ). Now that most streamers have opened up for copros, pre-buys and territorial deals, producers have now more possibilities and there’s a larger amplitude of various partnerships available, depending on the specific IPs and projects. Broadcasters and streamers are learning to work together through windowing and other innovative approaches. And US studios are seeking collaboration with european producers. So it’s still a tough business, neither simpler or harder than it used to be, but it holds greater exploitation opportunities for IP and projects that cut through the noise! #coproduction #tvseries #scripted #svod #broadcaster #producer
