The shift from drumming as a vocation to becoming a professional television Producer/Director
is described by a Producer/Director buddy who was formerly a professional rock ‘n’ roll
drummer.
When he was a drummer, he was once riding his motorcycle down the highway when a tragic
accident happened, breaking his ankle.
While my friend was recovering, other drummers began to get gigs and studio recording
sessions because he would be unable to play the drums for the foreseeable future. Without a job,
he began seeking guidance from his friends.
One of his friends worked as an accountant for a Flim production company that produced
television. “Why don’t you become a television director?” the accountant offered.
“A director for television?” My pal said, “I know nothing about that.” In addition, how might a
fractured ankle prevent me from working as a television director?
I’m sure it’s really simple, the accountant said in response. All you have to do is sit down and
say, “Take one, take two.
As a result, my friend made the following decision (which could serve as guidance for you and
all of us).
• RESEARCH: He called a local television station to inquire about upcoming shoots where he
might watch from a corner of the control room. He was interested in television production. The
workspace
BUILDING A TEAM: My friend observed several photoshoots and made notes about who did
what and how. He became friends with everyone, taking note of their names and positions. He
requested a list of frequent freelancers from the studio management. Then, he visited, observed,
made friends with, and obtained the freelancer list at other (rival) studios, doing the same. After
repeating the process at three or four studios, he started to notice the freelancers who worked
at various studios and chose to recruit them when he planned his first shot because, in his mind,
“they must be good at what they do if multiple studios hire them.”
A phonebook filled with contacts who are professionals in their field and pals who will
collaborate with you is the most priceless asset anyone in the video production industry can
have.
• CLIENTS: He used his prior ties in the music industry to build a client list.
• BIG PROBLEM: To be financially successful in any business, whether it involves video
production or not, it’s critical to find a solution to your client’s “big problem.” Being the best at
what others want, more so than anyone else, or having a wholly original viewpoint or solution
no one else provides, are the only ways to earn higher salaries. For my friend, he began creating
and directing videos (far before it was popular) from the viewpoint of the musician rather than
the audience.
