Well done on: - Message clarity - Balance of honesty and respect for Trio Stories Also, one of the hardest things for me is trying to make the "creative look worse" because of my level of care for my work. Therefore, I reduce other things, like meetings, rounds of revisions, and production days (without time stuffing). Have you made your creative look worse, Scott?

This may seem like a lot of money, but for them it actually isn't. We've shot loads of corporates over my 20 years that drop this sort of money on a production for one big day. Corporate structures run like this ALL the time, way too many cooks, it's important to initially anticipate this and quote accordingly. It's also best as a production company to stay as an autonomous operation and don't put on an agency hat. Always schedule more time than you actually think and lastly make sure you get paid or part paid up front, never take the financial risk on yourself. Glad everyone was paid in in full in the end and in all, you've all come out stronger and wiser professionals from the experience.

Why there is no dedicated post-audio team or a specialist in such projects? Is it to cut costs by making the editor do all the work (sound design, foley, editing, cleaning, EQ'ing, mixing, score supervision)? This always felt like a butcher doing cupcakes to me. It is very interesting to analyze how much of the pro audio is done in production companies nowadays. I know a lot of new wave 'sound agencies' do the same approach as video production teams do - making strong commercial audio reels and 'catfishing', using 'clout' as you said in your videos, but I don't understand how production companies decide to use the services of such agencies, please make a video about the audio if you had a great case to share. Cheers, mate, keep up the good work! <3

Hey Scott. Class vid as per. Just waiting on a dud from you but don’t think it’ll ever happen tbh! Your points about not getting paid for coming up with the creative really resonated with me and our small production company! Quick boring gear question. I see you were (I think?!) using the Sirui SQ75+VHS10 Carbon Fibre Tripod. We are at the stage of wanting (needing) a new tripod for our A-cam (happy to keep using our £130 Cayer BV30L tripods for B and C cams for now) but can’t really afford to go down the Sachtler route sadly (apart from renting one on bigger shoots). How did you find that tripod head and legs? Would you recommend it? Care to elaborate on “not sh*t”, please?!
@ScottPetersFilms 8 күн бұрын
Thanks Calum - as far as “cheaper” tripods go I rated this one, decent head and nice little led light for the level, only complaints is the clasps are metal and curve out for some reason so can be quite sore on the hands if you catch them wrong. For the price I think it’s a good’un. I don’t honestly think a great tripod exists, and to get even close to a good tripod and head is silly money.

A proper zoom lens will actually matter once you start scaling the budget - with a proper cine zoom there's almost always 2 ac crew handling, thus making things more streamlined and being able to hit certain marks or adjust your zoom range hard stops - all saves time on set. Like literally, if your talent is 10x the rental and crew, then renting proper gear and more crew totally makes sense, while on a low budget shoot renting proper cams and lenses will definitely lag you back, because it's one more thing to handle on set, things will become heavier and working alone or in insufficient crew with all that is a big hassle. Basically, it always should be like > 1 goal = 1 person. Overall in the recent production in here - locations and art dept usually take a big chunk of the budget, often more than the whole grip & lighting package and the whole lighting crew price per day (without extra hours accounted), sometimes one can even add camera and lenses rental and crew to this. It takes a hard toll on health and lots of jobs to start actually acknowledging why certain projects can't be done in a certain budget, or at least shouldn't be done so.

1 goal = 1 person is increasingly becoming more and more of a dream of the past in what I’m seeing and experiencing. In a year of much of the industry working very little I’m sure one of the main reasons I’ve continued to have constant work is because I’ve played more than 1 role on jobs.
@alexlubensky 7 күн бұрын
@@ScottPetersFilms it just doesn't work so. I mean - one can certainly do several different positions on one gig, but this will always come at sacrifice. Being a human being, we can physically do one thing at a time, meaning while you're DP'ing - you're setting up the shot, doing calculations on where to place the actor, camera, lights etc, but if you're also an AC - you also do a lot of different things like thinking where to charge batteries, place the gear, handling tripods etc - and often times we underestimate how much time it can eat from your main position of a DP (for example). Sure, it can be done to some extent, but there's a certain threshold when doing so becomes ineffective and actually will hit the production budget way more than hiring more people (as you know - time vs budget is the main constrain). I don't say that one should never do so, but what I mean is actually there's a thin balance when doing so may hit hard, resulting in an inferior product quality, blown budget (time time time), and lost money/health etc. Our job is by no means an easy one, and my rule of thumb is - if someone of the people I know (not working in the industry) can earn the same amount of money doing less - then this project is underpaid and I should not take it. Sometimes saying no will actually make more profit than saying yes to a project.

It just really comes down to the terrible advice "GO ABOVE AND BEYOND." People take it too literally. We are running a business, you get what you pay for, if you do budget cuts, you get less, simple. Spec projects are the ones where you go above and beyond for yourself without creative restraint or feedback you don't agree with. Just my two cents.

A fair comment for sure! It’s only now later in my career that I’m starting to push back though, I’ve found any progression to better work at all super hard without going above and beyond to prove I can do it.

Wow, that was a hectic project for sure! Unfortunately, now that the clients are choosing between doing a full-fledged production VS hiring a college freshman with an FX3 or iPhone 16 Pro who'd be happy to do all that one-man-band for 1/10th of that budget VS generating some wacky AI content, I feel like it's only going to go downhill from here. Personally, geographic filmmaking market I'm in is way smaller than that in either UK or Poland. As a DP I've felt a huge decline in both amount and quality of commercial gigs this year. I've even ordered a DJI Focus Pro lidar system, because I feel like next year there's gonna be plenty of projects I'd have to do with little to no crew to get by and cover the ever rising cost of living.

If you want we can do a breakdown of the costs of production over on our channel. It sounds like a lot, it really does, but it disappears so quickly! Also it was social content, so definitely not worth the money to hire a cinema camera. A7SIII did the job perfectly.

It starts adding up pretty quickly once you go from hybrid mirrorless to cinema camera route. Suddenly you need a focus puller, wireless follow focus, zero delay transmission system, additional monitor for an AC, cinema zoom lens, way bigger tripod, proper L-bracket to mount all that vertically, lots of V-mount batteries etc etc.

Very useful video. All lot of the issues you ran into seem all too familiar, many of us have been there.The end product looked great and I very much enjoyed your setting boundaries and realizing that having a life outside of production is so very important. We're all asked to do a lot more with a lot less today than we were were a decade ago, that's just the way of the world. I recently produced and shot a product training live broadcast for a big car manufacturer and it was similar parameters. The agency didn't ask the manufacturer for enough budget and we do these broadcasts quarterly so the agency knew going in that we wouldn't have the budget to have the right amount of crew and resources. So you have to either work under under budgeted circumstances or not take the work.
