[@RiversBliss]

Producer: Finances the movie (most important part of film-making), creative control, gets paid even after the movie has been out (points or percentages of the movie), takes bigger risks. Director: Creative control, paints the movie, brings back the puzzle pieces to the Editor (sometimes works with him/her). Editor: makes sure the puzzles fit.

How did you go about getting this job? If you don’t mind sharing

[@mutilatedhatred4868]

Get me on there

[@UmamaheswariRajguru]

Hey! If you don't mind sharing, What does a TV producer actually do (like what your work day is like)? I aspire to be one and am a sophomore in high school. Isn't a TV producer the same as the producer of tv shows like drama, etc. for example Tina Fey, Mindy Kaling?

[@whothetechknows]

@@lamb9770 I worked really hard. It started with working in the TV station at my university. I then worked my way up from a cameraman all the way up from small jobs outside of the university, too freelance, making commercials and more. Everyone's path is different. There's not a direct clear path like becoming a nurse or a doctor. There's not a lot of money in it. I don't think I'd recommend it. It sounds like there is, but unless you get the Right show you will not get that money. The hours are not 9:00 to 5:00 typically. Think on that before making the next step. Doesn't mean it's not for you, but it's definitely worth knowing about.

[@whothetechknows]

@@UmamaheswariRajguru producing is such a loose term in TV. It all depends on what you want to do and what shows you want to work on. Know that it's not a direct and clear line such as becoming a doctor, teacher, accountant. You'll have to work long hours and probably start from the bottom. However, it's TV so you don't always have to start the bottom. You could start as a writer and slide over to producer. You could be an actor and slide over to producer. I would say if you really are excited to try it. I would say try producing not directing a short film for someone and see how that goes.

[@TheJonathanExp]

100% true from personal experience on many different productions. The UPM (aka line producer) can make or break a production. They tend to be assholes (sometimes out of necessity) to get shit done efficiently. Producers in general are hotshots and flaunt/abuse their power but you can learn a lot about the film/TV business from them.. A good producer can make everything much easier since they can pull strings to make shit happen quickly. Source: I'm a full-time producer 😎 🎬

[@mummyjohn]

I've only worked on one film, and our UPM was an absolute badass. The most in-demand and hardworking dude on set, the epitome of a boss as a leader because he was driving himself harder than anyone else. When we saw him giving that much, we all did.

[@valglass12]

right? The Line Producer is def most unsung hero, and i always chalk up their um bad "attitude" to lack of sleep. And heck, who isn't on their best behavior when you get less then 6 hours of sleep a night for 3-4 months? Though IF its a big budget or an indie (where the nickels and dimes are being watched) I'd add the 1st AD as crucial that can make or break it. Especially with first time feature directors or first time big-budget directors.

[@trevorwgoodchildx]

Q: In the movie “US’ with Jordan Peele there were 3 production companies listed in the opening credits. Blumhouse, QC, Monkeypaw. Which company actually is in charge of securing the locations, permits, getting the catering, renting the equipment ect

[@convolution223]

The responsibilities may have been split amongst the 3. Monkeypaw is Jordan peele's company. I assume those responsibilities fell on him and the other 2 just gave financial support/equipment.

The producer takes his idea to a line producer, the line producer comes up with the budget, the producer then raises the money and hires everyone to get the film mad that's all the way from the director to the guy sweeping up the ground on set.

I love, Love, LOVE MOVIES, and though I don't always want "the magic" of movies ruined with "behind-the-scenes" featurettes and tabloid exposes (unless it's warranted), I'm always looking to learn a little bit more about how the industry works. IF I COULD ASK OR MAKE ONE SUGGESTION: Maybe you could give more real life examples of the different roles various levels of producer have played in popular films? I don't know if that information is "readily available" to the public. But the same way you mentioned Spielberg and Bay, maybe you could get a list of movies and tell us EXACTLY what each type of producer did on that film? As I said, I don't know if people normally document this stuff, but if so, on even a few movies, I think it would help in understanding EXACTLY what these people do. I'm truly interested in learning, which is why I searched and clicked on your video. Thank you and best of luck!

1:38 I didn't understand if the producer producer helps the director to achieve producer producer's vision or the director's vision. Can somebody help me?

[@Crimsonengine]

The producer hires and helps the director achieve his or her creative vision, which in turn allows the producer to repay investors and make a profit. The producer is not a creative position in the same sense as directing is.

[@ElfTaleFilms]

This is how I see it: producers are the person who make the film. There is just a lot of stuff to do so they hire other people to do specific roles. Especially in small productions (less than 3 people or even solo) this is more apparent.

Just adding my 2 cents, working in VFX Production, they are the other roles that are part of the team Production Coordinator - liasing with artists, timekeeping and scheduleing, feeds this data back to line producer and rest of the team Production Assistant - looks after schedules, bookings, reports to rest of the team

[@AustralianInSiberia]

A beautiful shot of a good presenter. I am intrigued to learn the lingo, as I am climbing into a $30 million feature about a cattle king. I was saying "creative producer", but you say this is the all powerful artistic producer. I will probably be learning as I work with the director.

[@rprbeck]

Loved that video! Finally made a bunch of things clear for me :) I would appreciate it, if you could more videos like that, explaining the jobs of a professional film crew.
