Yesterday on a shoot we had a covid positive person in the cast (she did the test after the shoot) and tomorrow the same crew will be shooting even knowing about it and usually no one takes a test before the shoot. Is this normal?

This is neither normal or safe. Every member of the crew and talent needs to be tested and quarantined immediately.

What production company is this?

Agree. Everyone should be named.

The whole point of testing is to do it BEFORE the shoot. Could be deemed gross negligence in court if you were to get claims from people on set. Major red flag and liability issue, not normal.

That’s insane

So, what happened? You finished your shoot and move into post like nbd?

Definitely want to hear what happened... and where, what production company, etc.

No it's not normal. Protocol is that cast, crew and agency should be tested 48 to 72 hours prior to arriving on set. The agency and line producers get the results and if someone is positive, they can't come to set.

Is there a covid compliance officer? What does your producer say? To me this seems abnormal since the talent was presumably maskless and in close contact with other folks but the covid compliance officer should advise

Reckless. Huge potential consequences, that producer is putting a lot of people and businesses at risk.

That would be called a super-spreader event / don’t go!

Why isn’t anyone taking test before the shoot? That’s what most productions are doing these days. Not after.

Some people with small shoots are not testing first, which isn’t totally crazy since the test results take two days and all that. Temperature taking is a nice step but not everyone has a fever or even a symptom so it’s not a catch-all.
But you absolutely should have had an appointed covid person to monitor the protocols and that person should absolutely be guiding this process. As mentioned previously, you should all be quarantining after being around this person and no way should you be shooting the next day.

This is so irresponsible. I hope the person with the positive test has spoken to a contact tracer.

Hey OP, curious to see if anyone else has gotten sick since the shoot. Are you guys monitoring the situation?

I just listened to an interview of a creative director recount their path towards copywriting at a famous ad agency. It could not have been a more textbook case of failing upwards as a white man.

Testing TV files for Extreme Reach

Is there a website or portal you can use to test TV files before submitting? I have a client who handles their own traffic, so anytime Extreme Reach rejects or even questions something that is not a problem, it gets kicked back and a bunch of clients get CC'd on an email saying: "this failed QA."

At every other agency I've worked on, we would be able to handle any kickback or tweaks internally with zero client involvement. I'd love a way to test files.
