Episode #78 – The Production Workflow Show

It’s all about Production Workflow on this episode of the Double Down Film Show.  In another one our special “keynote addresses”, we’re going to walk you through all the physical steps of production from load-in to returning the equipment. We’ll share with you all of our insights, practical tips and the production practices that we only learned the hard way.

• When should you RESERVE equipment?
• What should you always get BEFORE you start shooting?
• What’s the FIRST THING that should be ready when the crew arrives?
• How should crew and talent call times be SCHEDULED?
• When should you REHEARSE camera, blocking, lines or everything?

Grab your pen and pad as the answers to all these questions and more purely practical filmmaking advice and wisdom are dispensed sans B.S. in this educational episode of the Double Down Film Show.  Listen and learn, baby!  Every Wednesday night film school through the back door is in session.

Filmmaking REALITY Starts here.
