The Production Manager - Better than The Hills

I’m not too sure how I got to be a reality queen but somehow I’m finding a niche for myself in this field.    This project is pretty exciting and looks set to be bigger than The Hills…not that I watch it of course                                                     

I’m definitely learning a lot at this place, partly because I’ve taken a smaller role so I have some time to step back and observe how the pre production is coming together. Mainly though, it’s that organizational thing I mentioned before of working with people who are across the needs of the network that gives the project such clarity and focus.

Of course that’s easy for me to say as we’re only in week two!  But it really is a pleasure. Today we had an extremely long but very productive editorial meeting where we were through detail by detail the format and plan for the shoot. It may well have been the first time I’ve ever had a production meeting so far in advance and not under extreme panic.

However my supervising producer and line producer are both MIA till next week while I throw together a company move, hire staff, book the facilities install phone lines and keep across everyone updated of every change as it happens. I’ve gone from 0 to 60 in one long meeting but I sure am happy to be working and I think this show is going to be a good one!
