Producing Excellence: LA

This is an in-person workshop with hands-on experience learning how to bid on a commercial project, work with a team, and see how it all comes together.

The morning will begin with an overview of the creative briefs. You will self-select which brief you want to bid on: food or portraits. Then we will break out into smaller groups to work on putting together an estimate for what it would cost to execute the creative brief. The smaller groups will come back together and present their bid to a panel consisting of a producer, art director, and artist rep.

At lunch, you will hear from the artistic team such as the food stylist, prop stylist, hair and makeup artist, and wardrobe stylist. You will learn when to get them involved, and how they can contribute to the work through their insights.

After lunch, we head to the photography portion of the day. This is where the creative brief comes to life. There will be a lead photographer walking you through their process, along with their team.

You will have an opportunity to ask questions and see how the team interacts with one another to nail the brief outlined.

After the shoot, we will celebrate the day with a happy hour, for everyone to mix, mingle and of course debrief about the day.
