More Tips & Tricks!

As promised, here is more information on producer's bags (see blog post from October 17th). What is a producer's bag? A producer's bag is a collection of helpful items that you always keep ready to take with you when you go on a shoot. Contents vary based on individual producers' requirements but some good pieces of equipment to have are: extra batteries for your camera and any microphones you use, lens cleaner, a flashlight, canned air, your camera's manual, gaffer's tape, headphones, white paper (for white balancing as well as taking notes), a pen or Sharpie marker, a Leatherman or other multi-tool, zip ties, and a bad weather cover for your camera. It's a lot better to have this stuff and not need it, then need it and not have it. :) Have a great weekend!

A few more words of gratitude.

Thanks to our intern, Philippe Simon, who put this together. Apologies as well because, due to illness & some technical difficulties, we were unable to air this prior to Thanksgiving.

Fun things to do with your in computer camera...

Having trouble coming up with an idea for a show? How about just sitting down in front of your computer and recording the first thing that comes to mind? That's how independent producer Shawn Cromack came up with this comedic short. (Blog editor's note: no producers were harmed in the making of this production)
