A sting is a short audio or video clip used to introduce or transition between segments in broadcast media, often featuring a recognizable sound or visual motif. #himcom #sting #audio #video #broadcast #feature #visuals #journalism #journalist #feature #opinion #success #documentaries #livenews #digitalmarketing #economic #contentcreation #dailyfacts #mediaviews #bulletins #indias_leading_mass_communication_college #heritage_institute_of_management_and_communication #Best_mass_communication_college #Top_media_college_in_delhi_ncr

🎞 Before directing my film, "Nighthawks," I held the role of a technical director/editor at CNN, immersed in a fast-paced 24/7 breaking news cycle. Starting at 4 am, I would edit packages and donuts for reporters, manage the control room for live broadcasts, coordinate with producers for live shots, and handle all aspects of live broadcasting, including mic tests and affiliate calls. This role honed my skills in communication, problem-solving, and maintaining calm under pressure. 🎦 My time as a technical director laid a solid foundation for my transition into film directing. It taught me the value of composure, efficient problem-solving, and the importance of sometimes slowing down to move quickly. 📽 #FilmDirecting #TechnicalDirector #CareerTransition

Very important post. Please watch. I encountered severe burn-out on past projects directly related to unrealistic pressures and unhealthy communication from network executives that contributed to adrenal gland issues for the rest of my life. And in this case, documentary filmmakers are also putting themselves in serious risk when you are potentially exposing poor behaviors by some unsavory people. There are so many factors involved that create a stressful high risk environment even things out of anyone’s control such as an unexpected blizzard shutting down production causing massive issues to release schedules and budgets where the responsibility or blame falls solely on the producer. At WONDERFLY FILMS LLC US & Ireland we advocate individual wellbeing and a more feminine maternal philosophy to support filmmakers throughout the entire process. Network executives are there to SUPPORT their freelance producers not overwhelm, pressure, slander, accuse, fire, and cover their ass by blaming the ones that aren’t on staff at the company. Changing the culture from the top down is what’s needed. There’s so much change and restructuring happening within our entertainment industries. There’s no better time to implement professional supportive practices and value wellbeing within the production culture from development to the premier. #wellbeingcoordinator #consciousproducer

This is real. This is happening and I am seeing our industry internationally is being pushed to its absolute limit. And that means people are being pushed to their limits. EP's, Producers, Editors, PA's, SUP's, assistants, techs and IT. The pandemic is now 3 years past, but we are all still very much in it with timeframes, budgets, workloads and delivery expectations. The time to be just "thankful to be working" has passed and the recognising of how unbalanced the industry is at the moment with how work is designated with the budgets available is now with us. This year most of streaming platforms have rewarded their CEO's with 10-20% bonus on top of their salary base with little to no advancements in worker pay, production budget or even investments in financing future projects that can be employment for thousands of people down the road. With a hike in the price of subscriptions to the consumer in addition to that. Here in the U.S. networks are currently negotiating new TV deals for NBA and NFL in the BILLIONS. There is money. Not paying people or productions is not the way to be making it. Television and film production is now a job that joins hundreds of other job descriptions of a pay check to pay check existence. The demise and now struggling international music industry is not only a warning sign post, but sadly what at the moment looks like the "future" of the production industry. Unless an answer, let alone a plan is put together to make this a workable situation for everyone involved. Not talking strike. Not talking threats. I'm talking about working it out, so everyone can benefit from doing not only what they are great at, but chose to do as a career. I'm sure there will be push back to this, and sure bring it on. But whats your solution then? Get off the fence. No one should die for or because of their job.

I get it. Production companies are squeezed, streamers are squeezed, and that pressure rolls downhill to the producers. Can I share with you good folks on LinkedIn a few questions I've learned to ask myself before taking a job, based on my twenty years since I joined the industry? 1. The TJ's test – would I prefer to do this job at this rate vs. working in the stockroom at a Trader Joe's? Too often the answer is "no." Why? Read further. 2. Will this TV series make the world a little bit better or a little bit worse? Too often the answer is that it will make the world a little bit worse. Sensationalized violence, fake or misleading content, canned interviews. The one time I got fired in this industry, was because I promised an archaeologist that I wouldn't mischaracterize his work, and the production company demanded I go back on that commitment. I'm still extremely proud of that moment even though it cost me. 3. Does the production company value me or see me as expendable? Do they specifically value my experience and ability or do they just want an ass-in-the-seat? (it's usually the latter). 4. Will I be physically safe? Nonfiction field producers often put themselves in hazardous situations in remote or extreme environments or while dealing with dangerous subject matter and people (like police ride-alongs). Will the production company look out for me? No, I'm not talking about worker's comp. I'm talking about the character of the company. In one job interview an EP was proud that "no one had died" on his series, even though several people had gotten seriously injured. What a low bar. 5. Will I be mentally safe? Demanding timelines, toxic work places, ego fits, dark and disconcerting content are standard fare for us. Once, as a green true crime researcher, swimming in crime and NSFW content all day, I started looking over my shoulder in public parks. Don't get me wrong, I'm mentally tough, but I also take responsibility for my mental health and what I expose myself to. I can't help but think that the constant and unrelenting exposure to disturbing subject matter with no safeguards in place contributed to the suicide discussed in the shared video. 6. Does this TV series, production company, and network have integrity? What do online reviews say? Did my colleagues have a positive experience working there? Do they FACT CHECK their scripts? It's not rocket science, but honestly, to have such basic expectations feels like sacrilege given the state of our industry. That's an industry-wide problem. Of course, there is a spectrum to such decisions. I've learned to have these standards the hard way and cannot judge and hope I won't be judged for the next job I take to put food on the table. Will this post cause me to lose work? ABSOLUTELY. But also, please see item #1. I'm good at what I do and I got into this business to inform, educate, inspire, and make the world a better place. One of the ways I do that is by the standards I set for myself.
