7. Be proactive in your documentary production. Never expect support. As a matter of fact, you should accept the fact that at first, nobody will support you! That will push you harder to create a better film and generate support for it
8. Actors are awesome people to work for, most of the time. I've learned from three different actors and a acting teacher/actor that they are some really genuine people, if they are in the industry for the right reasons. I think Wilmington actors are different from Hollywood actors. They definitely are.
9. Sometimes you have to negotiate with your team. As somebody who's had a lot of creative control in past projects, this was the first time I really had to sit back and let somebody else's visions take the wheel for a little. It was refreshing perspective. Good to learn for the real world.
10. Never, ever say you will "fix it in post." Fix it now. RIGHT NOW!
With a few more posts to go this semester, I'm sure there will be other hiccups along the way. Not a bad thing, probably one of the most important things!
Until next time...
