How to be an Action Calendar Hero Pt I: Crew

Back when I started as the Intern Producer for the Progressive Action Calendar promo, I helped write a detailed instruction sheet detailing every last click and cue. Here's the short version:

It's impossible to produce the spot alone, well okay, actually it's very possible, but there's no way one person could get the results of a full crew which includes:

Talent: (the on-camera person) FSTv's very own Antoinette June is our current talent, and we couldn't be more lucky to have her.

Crew: Last week we only had a producer (that's me,) someone to cue graphics, and a floor director. Dan was the graphics person, he has solid technical know-how, so it's good to know we have the best person for that position.

Having a tight crew makes things go smooth. The atmosphere reminds me of the kitchen in Waiting (2005, Dir. Rob McKittrick) but when it comes down to production time, it's time to be professional. That it until we finish, then its back to the usual pissing and moaning. But seriously though, a good time is had by all AND we get our work done by the deadline each and every week.
