That’s what video production is all about.
A production is like a cruise ship: a bunch of people get on board and they’re carried to a predetermined destination. It’s a lot of fun, there’s usually buffet-style free food laid out, and when it’s over everyone is happy and a little sunburned.
But unlike a real cruise ship, where nothing ever goes wrong, the “cruise ship” of video production is fraught with peril. Sometimes the ship is attacked by a monster jellyfish. The jellyfish is a metaphor for the unexpected.
Filming, casting, props, scheduling, lighting, audio, equipment — each of these dangling tentacles are continually reaching out, searching for an opportunity to latch on and destroy! If even one of the treacherous tendrils grabs hold, your ship may already be doomed.
