What is creative production:
sell creative production both as service and product:
'The work we make and people you make it with should reflect the world you want to live in. Whilst inclusivity in front of the camera is important, it's equally important behind camera'
Producer:
Producer puts ideas together, brings them into reality, art director paints the picture.
Link between design and production, producers need designers for event branding and other stuff.
5 important lessons:
Value based networking: Identify what you can do for others, don't just focus on what others can do for you.
Identify your value, see own value when networking.
Client experience, never leave a bad taste in someone's mouth, be polite, keep promises and be punctual.
Ideas are useless without action, creativity comes to those who work.
Find your advocates, know who supports you, be courteous and polite you never know who will make it big.
Value what you do and don't be afraid to fail.
