Local vs Remote Video Production Collaboration
It used to be true that videos and films could only be created with team members based out of the same town or city. A shoot or shoots still need to take place in a physical space so at some point the on-set individuals such as directors, actors, and videographers have to get together to work their magic, but pre/post production individuals such as writers, editors, graphic designers, and voice over artists can contribute from whatever location they may reside in.
Thanks to collaborative real-time tools provided through platforms like Market7’s, it’s entirely possible that you may never shake the hand of your fellow members on the numerous teams you may be a part of in the years that lie ahead. So much for having to move to cities like Hollywood and New York to fulfill your dream as a rock star film writer or editor. It all comes down to raw talent now because location issues are pretty much a thing of the past as we get ever more connected, and learn how to better use ever improving technologies to constantly upgrade content quality levels.
We got to stop thinking about the restrictions and limitations which once used to exist, we now live in a world where it’s all about creativity, passion, and skill. If you have those three attributes and learn where you can create the most value utilizing them together, then you unlock new exciting possibilities and opportunities to advance your career.
I plan on putting together webinars soon which educate those who want to be part of remote production teams, who desire to learn how to properly leverage the plethora of new powerful tools available, and who crave tips for how to create higher caliber videos and films. If anyone would like to help with organizing the online events, would like to be featured as a speaker, or provide funding as a sponsor, then please reach out and outline how you fit into this equation.
No matter how you want to build your next video production team or who it may include, we hope you decide to join our community.
