Ever find yourself reveling in the sweet, sweet satisfaction of ticking items off a checklist? There’s something oddly gratifying about the process – a sense of accomplishment, a roadmap to success. In a chaotic and exhilarating video production class, checklists can become your students’ best friend.
I know how it is… there are only so many jobs to do backstage, and all (most) of your students are working to help out. They’re gearing up for a shoot – cameras poised, lights ready to dazzle, sound equipment on standby. It’s a symphony of creative chaos, and so easy to lose track of what’s already been finished.
So, why the checklist love? It’s the backbone of a seamless production, an insurance policy against chaos, and a guarantee of that sigh of relief when the director yells “cut!”
Here’s your (FREE!) backstage pass to video production success – a set of indispensable (and editable!) checklists. For the aspiring camera operator, the vigilant sound engineer, the wizard of light, and the masterful video editor – each checklist will help guide your students through the intricate maze of tasks, and allow multiple students to take on the same role.
Lights, camera, satisfaction – your video production journey just found its rhythm, one checklist at a time.
