Remember you can only control what you can control. Deep breath. One thing at a time. Haste absolutely makes waste (not saying go slow, but rushing and sloppiness isn’t going to help you at all). Mistakes happen and every single person on that set has made them. Try not to make the mistakes that are going to make anything dangerous or are going to cost a lot of money. Remember- you’ve got this.
Totally understandable feeling. "Pivot" is the new name of the game and AD and Producer seem calm because they don't actually need to deal with the chaos. They hand it to you. ;) If feeling overwhelmed, walk off set for a second. Take a breath. Then get back in there, make a list of what needs to be done and tackle it one step at a time so nothing is overlooked in the rush. Also, remember we're not curing cancer. It's just production.
Don’t panic, it’s contagious.
And remember the old adage:
Accept the things you cannot change.
Have the courage to change the things you can. Posses the wisdom to know the difference.
one thing at a time, make a list, more important look for help if you need! voice your concern if you’re too overwhelmed to your producer / PM. good team will come together to solve things together
Have you tried repeatedly yelling “IM KEEPING MY COOL!”
