Preproduction

I'm working on 3 different major (to me), funded video projects right now. Pretty exciting, but all 3 of them are in pre-production, though for one of them I have already shot some preliminary material. This means that I've been spending hours and hours every day for weeks just planning shoots and associated travel and logistics. Calling, emailing, asking for location permissions, poring over maps, looking at calendars, buying plane tickets, renting cars, etc etc etc.

I'm sick of it. This is why, I now viscerally understand, there are producers, as a role separate from directors. I need one, or 2 or 3. I'm exhausted and I haven't even shot anything. Dammit.

wow, that is a lot to take on! do you think you could find producers to help? (maybe on future projects, even.) good luck with these projects! i am sure, given all your past work, they will be great. just try to survive... ugh. Posted by: jon lon at Febrero 6, 2008 11:49 PM
