A Little Help from My Friends

Pasco Farmers Market

Everyone who knows me knows that my best work comes when I collaborate with other creative, bright minds. I like to say my passion is getting others excited about painting the fence and then giving them the freedom to paint it with whatever colors or medium they prefer.

Perhaps the concept of a farmers market is a better analogy. I’ll provide the structure, you bring the curated goods. That’s fresh on my mind since I just learned all about the Pasco Farmers Market today.

Right now, the production bottleneck is the juncture between my laptop and me. My partners at VidLoft can’t do their work without me reviewing, clipping, and uploading the interviews and b-roll footage I’m shooting.

The creation of a single 30-minute rough cut interview video takes about 2-2 1/2 hours between the rendering and uploading to YouTube. Then it takes me another hour to review and clip the juiciest segments from each interview.

With the clock ticking and my travels resuming on Sunday evening, I have devised a game plan to help speed the process by leveraging my super power. I’m asking a handful of the 118 producers to jump in to help review the rough cut interviews to find the segments that stand out.

My intent is to render a new batch of interviews each week and keep a weekly production cycle so that a new episode and the corresponding six rough cut interviews can drop each week. That’ll give folks plenty of content to binge on while we work through the library of footage.
