Week 9 Photo Challenge of the Week: Myself as a Producer

This is me Producing.  Tons of paperwork and me buried underneath it all wishing I was doing something else.  But that doesn't mean it doesn't get done, nor does it mean it gets done incorrectly.  I have done great things producing my own productions and managed to get a sponsor for a reality pilot while I was still in school.  How many people do you know who can say they produced a reality pilot before they even graduated?

As producer I know how the industry works.  I don't have a lot of experience in it, but when it relates to me, I get the job done well and efficiently.  I'm not fond of paperwork but I have learned from many professionals the correct way to do the job, and because of it, the productions I work on and prepare for go much smoother than most productions.  I plan for almost every situation I could run into. 

For example, if you look at one of my productions relating to the Initial D project, you will see a professional piece with decent actors and a great set.  The place had good lighting, the cars were organized, the actors were dressed, it is almost as if things went perfectly.  This was not the case, at all.  During the filming of the video, our wireless lavs wouldn't work, our lighting failed, and both of our original vehicles didn't make set.  Thanks to my planning, and thanks to my ability to prepare ahead in the even problems arose, I had two more cars on back up, we ADR'ed on location to keep proper ambience, and the lighting was anticipated so we used a faster lens on the camera.  All of this planning meant I produced a quality production with the appearance of the final project that everything worked out well.
