Reel them in ASAPMake sure to update your media reel to display your most recent project(s). Employers love seeing your latest work, and having an up-to-date reel shows you take took time to create new projects, and that you take pride in showing off your hard work. Always try to showcase your projects from after college. Doing this shows that you have experience outside of a classroom environment, and that you take time out of your day to create new, on-going projects.

Seasoned producers are like symphony conductors. They’re the only person on set with awareness for every single part (or instrument) and they know how to bring out the right parts at the right time. While the individual instruments can focus on their individual parts, the best conductors are intimately in tune with every part. They’re like producers, who, before they even set up a project, have the experience to know how long the project will take, what kind of budget will be required, and what kind of team they’ll need to assemble to get the job done. An international shoot can throw even the most experienced professional off balance though. That said, it doesn’t have to be painful.

Typically, we like to touch on the behind-the-scenes production on different movie sets, but we had the opportunity recently to touch on the other side of production — the acting. We talked to Cortney Palm, who quickly gained acclaim in the film industry with her titular role in Sushi Girl, catapulting her into other lead roles such as Daniela in Tourbillon and Zoe in the comedy-horror (with a viral trailer) Zombeavers.

As a filmmaker it can be very visually exciting to enter and create in bold, new worlds. The excitement of pushing the boundaries into these worlds is very clearly in “Top Gun 2” where the filmmakers decided to put 4 IMAX cameras in real fighter plane cockpits and to film the action true to life rather than by using digital effects. The end result is that as an audience we feel immersed in a whole new world and are riveted.

Picture this, you get home from a grueling shoot and realize to your red-faced chagrin that you have absolutely nothing to work with. The audio is shoddy, the shots are overexposed, the focus is wrecked... Whatever it is, you’ve botched the project and you may never get a second chance to fix it.
