Description

In this episode we talk to George, an assistant producer at Wall to Wall.

Things covered:

• What it’s like to create and produce nature documentaries for someone 2-3 years into their career.
• Structure of a traditional production company - runner, assistant producer, producer, camera person, executive producer, directors
• How to get into production
• What type of person this is right for

Ever thought “how do they even make Blue Planet with David Attenborough?”

Welcome, to one arm of the world of production.

It’s pretty cool. Lots of travelling, planning, organising, filming of course.

George gives us his best tips on how to get into production. From someone who didn’t study media or film, it’s really interesting to see how he’s networked his way into a position at Wall to Wall. It’s never too late.
