1: Research: It gives you the opportunity to dive deeply into topics that you are truly interested in. Choose topics that you are genuinely passionate about. When obstacles come up, you’ll push through them because of your love for the subject matter.
2. The Run-Through: I watched Director, David Fincher, walk his crew through every detail of his vision on the actual locations of key scenes on the behind-the-scenes part of the film, ‘Fight Club’. I did the same for my films, commercials and media segments. It creates a level of confidence for every member of the team.
3. Improvise don’t adlib. Improvisation comes out of deliberate practice and rehearsal where actors and crew can make decisions based on intense preparation. Adlibbing is winging it, which most likely reflects the final product.
4. Write every member of the team thank-you cards expressing how their contribution helped make the project possible. Individual acknowledgment is more meaningful and important than throwing an expensive cast party.
