Home - Line Producer - Planning and Supervision
Planning a video project can require technical knowledge and expert jargon. To make it easier to move a project forward, I help you plan and supervise its development with external resources.
Careful planning helps reassure management of the steps being taken.
You have to think of everything, from the kind of cameras that will be used to what the team will eat during the shoot.
Careful planning will help raise some red flags and develop Plan Bs if needed.
Overseeing the work of the parties involved in the project by speaking the same language helps avoid cost overruns.
The documents created in the planning phase are used as guides in production and post-production.
When everything has been thought out in advance, production runs smoothly and pleasantly.
Once a concept has been approved, there are several steps to getting a project off the ground. Skipping steps would delay the process.
Setting important dates, which constitute deliverables, is essential to the transparency of the project’s stages. With this in mind, reasonable lead times are provided for the pre-production, production and post-production phases. Depending on the nature of the project, I schedule reasonable time slots to complete the myriad of tasks and help the client to have a clear vision of the project timeline.
A production manager and a production coordinator help manage your project. These individuals are under the producer’s supervision and relay information to the design, production and support teams. Budgets are allocated according to each person’s tasks and the project’s progress is centralized with production management software.
To minimize your level of involvement once the concept has been approved, the producer initiates the project with his team and only requires your involvement if important decisions need to be made, such as schedule changes, budget issues, or casting decisions. In other words, everything related to managing the technology or the talent is the responsibility of the producer and his team.
The relationship between the line producer and the client is transparent. Many last-minute changes can take place in managing a corporate video or animation project. Having collaborated on hundreds of productions, solving challenges is a matter of course and the ability to make decisions calmly is essential in overcoming potential issues. The producer will not hesitate to recommend the best path to take or to tell you the solution to a problem.
In the strategy phase, I ask questions to immerse myself in my clients’ corporate reality. Of course, transparency and respect are of the essence.
Depending on the complexity of the project, you will receive weekly progress reports. Your team may be more involved, for example, if the casting comes from within.
As a line producer, half of the budget is allocated at the beginning of the project to cover the major costs of the project.
Yes, of course.
