What are some mistakes or bad practices you often see in the production of documentaries?

This is wrong on so many levels the team you call in to help is the one creating the damage, unbelievable.

From the agency side, even if you call it a documentary style production, you can’t just run around and shoot people willy nilly. Sign them to contracts, whether principal or extra, get releases signed and get head and body pics with what they wore. I had a director who didn’t listen and thought he could just shoot and run. Doesn’t work that way. My agency at the time was a SAG signatory. We could have been in a lot of trouble had I not kept track of everyone. You will also need releases from any businesses you photograph.

Going cheap with production sound. What you save on a bargain basement sound recordist, you’re going to more than spend on post audio repairs that won’t sound as good as if you’d gotten good tracks to begin with. We have really great noise reduction tools these days, but they can still only do so much before they start to degrade the sounds you want to keep.

Only location scouting with your eyes. Similar to the above. The shot may look great, but if there’s jets taking off or loud traffic, it’s going to be tough to use any of it in the cut. In that same vein, listen to your sound person. If they ask you to have an interviewee repeat something, for example, it’s probably for a good reason.

I’m around 21 weeks and have been dealing with a lot of leg, tailbone, back, and general muscle pain. Since I do work long hours Monday- Wednesday (10hr +) I’m trying find a comfortable chair to switch to. Any recommendations? Currently I’m switching every hour or so between my kneeling chair and standing.

Can we talk about privacy vendors? We are looking for a platform to handle data inventory and/or data discovery, as well as automating the privacy impact assessment process. We already have vendors for DSARs and cookies. Do most people consolidate all these functions to one platform or use multiple? Anyone willing to share vendors they have had good or bad experiences with?

I am interviewing at a Production Studio and it’s going well. The majority of my experience is agency side. They mentioned base salary with commission, as they want to see growth in the next 3-5 years. There has been no talk of salary yet. What does a base salary for an EP with commission usually look like in this role? What should I be asking for? I don’t want to give up my current salary, but I think this job would be such a great fit for me. Advice?
