Also they try to push u to do more stops in a day to be quicker, and then tell you to focus on the people and treat them like there the only customer. This is a job for someone who doesn't have a life and doesn’t mind getting home late. The best part of this job is the truck, taking it home. Your basically your own secretary, having to call and set up ur own schedule. Not alot of good one on one time when they have so many other things to do. They are doing too many things at one time. They managers give u a task, forgot they told u about the task and ask u to do something completely different. You are not even getting paid when on site getting ur truck ready for the day. They say they are work life balance but u go in at 730-5 or later. You can depend on CRM Studios to successfully complete your next video production in Dallas and beyond, whether it requires location filming or a soundstage.Ĭontact CRM Studios today to get a quote.The job is ok. Whatever challenges your particular video project holds, chances are we’ve managed them successfully before. Good fortune played a part, but great planning from CRM Studio’s experienced professionals made it all come together. We got in and out without disturbing the homeowners, and filmed everything we needed in less time than anticipated. And although our location was fairly remote, both of our actors happened to know the area well, so no time was lost while trying to find the place.Īll in all, it was a very smooth shoot where almost everything went right. We were fortunate to land on what turned out to be a cool day with not too much sunlight, as all of our shots were outdoors. Sometimes, you have to get it right the first time -and no matter how well you plan in advance, certain factors you can’t control have to work out right.

With a limited budget or production window, you don’t always have the option of second chances and pick-up shots. Luck can be just as important as planning. Of course, extra media cards, lenses and batteries were kept close at hand since recording had to be almost non-stop. When we got to a point where the shots were only for one script/actor, a second cameraperson operating one of our drones could get shots of the HomeTeam truck driving and pulling up to our location home. We call this way of shooting ‘Leapfrogging’. If we were outside the line of sight, some of the crew could begin setting up the next shot. Well over 100 individual shots would be needed.įor shots that overlapped scripts, we would set up the shot and do a few takes with “Actor 1” while “Actor 2” stood close by, ready to jump into the scene when it was their turn. Two of the scripts were very closely related and had many overlapping shots - but because those scripts would feature different actors, even those scenes had to be shot twice. Once all four scripts had their shots assigned, those shots were grouped together that shared similar actions and similar locations.

We assigned each actor two scripts apiece, and our Senior Director, Steve Dunning got to work on a detailed shot sheet. The number of scripts involved in this location shoot made logistics a little more complicated.

It often makes sense to divide your shot list by location in order to take advantage of certain conditions: the position of the sun and weather concerns for outdoor shots, and lighting instrument set-up for interior shots. Shooting out of order is not an unusual practice. In order to get all the shots we’d need for each script, we would need to have multiple teams shooting simultaneously well out of script order. Much like HomeTeam’s strategy of regular treatments and inspections to prevent pest problems, CRM Studios’ production team had to take a proactive approach to prevent any interruptions or wasted time in our filming schedule.
