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.

 

Let’s talk about it. Send me a message.

    Planning for success

    01

    Staying in the loop

    Careful planning helps reassure management of the steps being taken.

     

    02

    Keeping all the balls in the air

    You have to think of everything, from the kind of cameras that will be used to what the team will eat during the shoot.

     

    03

    Predicting the future

    Careful planning will help raise some red flags and develop Plan Bs if needed.

     

    04

    Following the dollars

    Overseeing the work of the parties involved in the project by speaking the same language helps avoid cost overruns.

     

    05

    Valuable documentation

    The documents created in the planning phase are used as guides in production and post-production.

     

    06

    Reducing stress

    When everything has been thought out in advance, production runs smoothly and pleasantly.

     

    What’s involved?

    Major milestones

    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.

     

    Surrounding yourself with good people

    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.

     

    Necessary approvals

    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.

     

    Transparency first

    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.

     

    They put their trust in me.

    In the strategy phase, I ask questions to immerse myself in my clients’ corporate reality. Of course, transparency and respect are of the essence.

    FAQ

    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.
