I was watching a Joss Whedon director's commentary video (probably Buffy) where he explained that if you see Executive Director or Executive Producer, the word Executive means "not the".
I've been wondering for a while why they let John Green be Executive Producer on the movies from his books, when he clearly knows less about video production than I do, which is saying something. It turns out he wasn't kidding when he said that the role of the Executive Producer is to eat Cheetos.
Before I was in the media industry, I often wondered what producers, directors and the like actually did. Here's how we understand those roles, in case you wanted to know the same! --Matt
(To follow up what I said about radio & producers, there are a large number of shows which consist of one presenter on their own in the studio, talking on air, playing songs and operating the equipment independently) -Matt
+Matt and Tom The weird thing is: lots of people in media try to uphold the pecking order, while they also always complain about it and think its unfair. A friend of mine quit media production because of it.
+Wouter Weggelaar From the very little experience I have, the degree of division can vary. I was an extra on Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy and we got to mingle a fair bit (Colin Firth is...not fun to work with, everyone else was a laugh and friendly), possibly due to the small scale of the shoot. However, the other extras said other films they'd worked on were a nightmare - John Carter of Mars was particularly bad, as it was blazing hot, a tonne of extras in costume treated basically like interchangeable scenery. +Tom For context, I'm the random dude on the tube that sat down opposite you on your way home from the London painted tank shoot about a month ago. *waves*
+Justin Bell I thought it was 'Kat' short for Katherine and there was some behind-the-scenes person they were going to bring on-screen for a moment. Then I realized: nope, actual cat.
Side note ~ When we started buying seasons of television shows on dvd, I noticed that some of them will include a commentary of certain episodes, where maybe the director, writer, producer, or some of the actors will sit and watch the episode and talk about how the show was created. This caused me to become much more intrigued with the process, the function of these different roles, and how they accomplished their individual aspects of the production. I also found that after listening to these commentaries I started to become more aware of things like different cameral angles, or how a certain camera shot may have been achieved. One show in particular in the U.S. called 'Leverage' ~ on the dvd's it actually has commentary of each and every episode and it was really almost like taking a class in television production. I have found it quite fascinating.
In theater / student film between friends we call them do that's because we make them 'do [this and] that' between higher in charge people we call them live/stage runners In school theater I often call them by their year/grade so 'get me a year 7 we need a bag from the prop table' This is unless I'm close to them i.e. good friends then I'll just shout 'Aaron get me the bag from the table'
The BBC get you to sign a release form before filming when we have politicians and the like visiting my workplace (its a London hospital so happens relatively frequently)
My experience, at least in TV entertainment it goes as thus: The Producer is the creative control, i.e. they have the ideas and will be involved in writing where necessary. They tend to have final say (unless the channel gets involved) with what goes on in the show, running orders, scripts, talent bookings, contributors (the general public that goes on camera). Super stressful job. The Production Manager is the one that actually organises a lot of the pre-production, manages the budget, pulls in staff, does the call sheets (actually thats likely to be a production coordinator) the risk assessments and pretty much any other paperwork to ensure the cast, crew and equipment are where they need to be on time to make the show. They also have the less than enviable task of telling producers and directors that they can't have the super expensive shiny thing because the budget wont stretch that far! The Director is in charge of everything that goes on in front of camera. That means working with the lighting and the DOP (Director of photography or lead camera operator) to make it look pretty as well as making sure the talent get the job done etc. Whilst you can't polish a turd a good Director will roll it in enough glitter that you wont care as much. Bare in mind that this is UK TV roles. The same job title has different roles and responsibilities in Film, Music Promos and to a certain extent Advertising. There might be differences in non uk crews but I've only had very limited experience with those so can't certain.
+essengeebee I know in most productions you HAVE to sign the release form before the shoot. The production company will not take a chance that someone will change their mind after the shoot and time and money has been spent. It is a real issue because there are some people who actually trap people into embarrassing situations deliberately. Do you know of any remedies for this situation?
richb313 That's pretty much how I thought it would work. It just seemed odd he didn't mention that after saying "always sign the release form AFTER appearing on camera, especially as he has first hand experience of appearing on TV quiz shows..
+richb313 Making talent sign releases before the shoot also gets it done and is one less thing to worry about. After a shoot concludes, it's all too easy for the production assistant to forget or for the talent to be tired and slip away quickly before they can be rounded up.
@@richb313 Read it and don't sign if you do not agree. That is my only advice and it applies everything you are asked to sign. I need to add that you can try the crossing over parts you don't like and intialising them, but that might not work.
+Faling Dutchman its faster and easier to edit in batches, and because Matt works shifts its easier for them to just record a load of episodes and then drip feed them to us
There's a game called "Not another broadcast" which does just this. It puts you in charge of a "live news programme" where you need to switch between screens appropriately, censor bad language and generally direct a good news set. You can then watch all your sets back. Definitely worth trying if you're interested in this sort of thing.
Assuming both of your mics are on separate channels please level both mics to the same volume. It can get quite distracting when Matt is much louder than Tom. Awesome show sorry to nitpick.
Best explanation of what one of those titles means I ever heard come from Rob Long, who is writer in Hollywood who does a blog-like show on KCRW called Martini Shot - it is like 5 minutes once a week, and you can listen to the archive online. One episode he tells a story about how their is a dog park on the beach in Santa Monica, so once a week he takes his dog there He plans the day, he makes sure everything is ready (gas in the car and such), then he takes the dog to the beach He brings a ball for the dog to play with, and a plastic jai-alai racket so he can throw the ball far out into the surf, then the dog dives through waves to retrieve the ball. People come up and say it is a great dog, and he says "thank you" like he is in some way responsible. Eventually he decides they have done enough and it is time to go home. They stop at a particular restaurant on the way home and buy burritos, but since the dog has fallen asleep in the car, Rob eats the burrito that the dog earned, then they go home. "I am the Executive Producer of a dog at the beach."
Gotta say, I love these videos! They're a great insight into you guys as people and professionals and you always make the videos entertaining with a lovely air of silliness. The fact the you guys are wetting yourselves beforehand just really gives your videos a welcoming feel! love basically everything you make, keep it up!
On an ancient video, this is probably never going to be read, but... My wife has worked (and occasionally still does) for a small film arts promotion outfit. For her time and trouble mentoring wannabe film makers, she has been credited as Executive Producer more times than I can count.. 🇦🇺👍
Did some volunteer work with our local public television station and found out quickly that the on-air 'talent,' even in such a friendly environment, saw themselves as a class above all us studio help - they would not even speak to us if we passed in the hallways! The producers and directors actually made us feel appreciated.
I've done stage directing. It's similar to live tv broadcasting in the sense that you have to call cues and make sure everything is in order. It's not nearly as stressful, since everything has been rehearsed and not 'live' in the sense of live television. It also helped that it was a highschool production, so it wasn't that complex. I don't think I'd want it as a career though.
I'd love to see more of these, and more in-depth ones as well, as someone getting into the industry, its something I'm interested in. I'd also like to hear more about the TV show Tom was in, how did it get started, get funded, ETC. It seems like networks have no interest in going out and GETTING content, despite how much great content is on UA-cam and the like. They require people to come to them. Would love to hear more about that. I have a web series I work with, but marketing it or promoting it seems vague at best.
What episode of doctor who was that? Just curious :) Also, I keep loving the show, and this perticullar one very much because I'm currently in film school.
For some amazing ADR, you should mention El Mariachi (Robert Rodriguez). The entire thing was apparently recorded as ADR. That actually kept the cost down!
with regards to ADR- i understand that in these modern times they use software to sync the actors' voice with the lips. I saw a demonstration of this on Tomorrows World (remember that? No? Such a youngster… ;)
Someone I'm following on Periscope once took us into the studio for ADR, while Periscoping. She got a full day rate of pay to record ONE WORD, which wasn't picked up during production. Crazy.
Does this also get posted as a podcast by any chance? It would work great in that format and its always nice to have the option to listen on the go. Obviously that makes raising ad revenue more difficult - love your work so don't wish for you to be out of pocket.
I always thought that Kevin Smith story about Jon Peters on Superman was hilarious but not entirely true... until I read an interview with Neil Gaiman saying all of that happened to him as well for a different production!
You mentioned the Oscars. I'm curious about Europe's equivalent if there is one. Also, it seems like every time you turn around here in the States there is another awards show on. What are the big award shows in Europe/Britain? We have the Oscars, CMAs, AMAs, People's Choice Awards, MTV VMAs, MTV Movie Awards and on and on and on...
The Doctor Who thing was just Michelle Gomez saying the line "Missy, short for Mistress. Well I very well couldn't keep calling myself the Master now could I". So not an entire scene, and I'm sure for a couple of takes she said a different name.
Stewart Morris's infamous talkback from Eurovision is a must watch - you'd never imagine what was going on behind the scenes. "THERE'S FUCK ALL SOUND IN HERE!" ua-cam.com/video/XTgCLfYdRo4/v-deo.html#t=20s
I barely dare to ask, with all the translation craze going on on Tom's channel... I've been thinking about submitting translations for a long time, but that channel seems to have a (or several) Dutch translator already. When I looked over at this channel, I noticed that subtitles are turned off (except for the weird auto-generated ones). Would you, by any chance, want any subtitles here? O:) - a humble fan ;)
well, what is this guy's job called, who shouts camera 1! 11! 16! snap! - ? at oscars. if this was mentioned, i missed, because of no subtitres. please put them on...pleasepleaseplease :)
on what kind of set were Matt and Tom with other people where Matt barked instructions at Tom? I always thought Matt worked as a director and Tom had his own job
Guys, is the mic just pointed at Matt, or is it that Matt has A mic, and Tom doesn't? It's really quite hard to hear Tom, especially compared to Matt. Other than that, love it! Keep 'em coming guys!
+Daniel Rees (Had to watch this in fullscreen on a desktop computer to figure this out) Looks like they're both wearing lavalier mics. Tom sounds kind of weird because the microphone head is pointing down away from his face. Matt's mic, on the other hand, is pointing directly at his mouth when he's looking at Tom, which is why he sounds much louder.
I think it's more of a 'creative control' thing. It gives them a bit of say over what happens to their character. It's usually something the actor asks for in contract negotiations when the show gets popular, rather than something given to them.
Am I the only one noticing Matt is always on the left and tom is always on the right(Not just in the videos, but also in the youtube avatar picture thingy, in the name of the channel, EXCEPT in the description, there it says "Subscribe to TOM: ua-cam.com/users/tomscottgo | Subscribe to MATT: ua-cam.com/users/unnamedculprit "), are you guys planning who sits where?
If you want to see a live news broadcast: ua-cam.com/video/FwdmY2KM_Nc/v-deo.html It is in Dutch, but you can see how stressful it is, and some words should be understandable.
+Ewan Jobe When amending a contract, it's recommended practice to write your initials next to the amendment to show you've agreed to the amendment. Sometimes, and this may be a jurisdiction thing, it's necessary to sign by the amendment.
I want to be director and screenplay writer. So I can write the plot and make the movie I want. I'm too young for it but still my dream is to be director.
+Theo G they make finer detailed decisions on what the camera operators should do with cameras, for the director to get what they want. I think. --Matt
i thought the show runner was responsible for everything. or are they just in charge of story and content? i have only recently even heard of a show runner as a job title.
I was watching a Joss Whedon director's commentary video (probably Buffy) where he explained that if you see Executive Director or Executive Producer, the word Executive means "not the".

I can confirm - source - I'm British
Can confirm since I am british
I don’t think it’s a secret
What you call "runners", I've always called "gophers/go-fors" like "go-for this, go-for that."
+Pat O in TV they are called runners, but in film they are called PAs (Producer's Assistant)
In theater / student film between friends we call them do that's because we make them 'do [this and] that'

One thing you didn't mention was the habit in the USA of making the stars of long running tv series producers .Why does this happen ?
I think it's more of a 'creative control' thing. It gives them a bit of say over what happens to their character. It's usually something the actor asks for in contract negotiations when the show gets popular, rather than something given to them.
hmm so what happens if the Execute Producer is also a Director and the producer?
would that mean the show would be a Mess
Matt reminds me of Patrick Star, from Sponge Bob, I'm not sure why, he just does.
+50doctorwho He does have that kind of happy go lucky attitude. Tom is a bit like Sponge Bob now that you mention it.
Hmmm.
I wish I'd watched this before RudeTube came to film me.
Oooh man my iMac crashed like 100 times when I was editing
Am I the only one noticing Matt is always on the left and tom is always on the right(Not just in the videos, but also in the youtube avatar picture thingy, in the name of the channel, EXCEPT in the description, there it says "Subscribe to TOM: ua-cam.com/users/tomscottgo | Subscribe to MATT: ua-cam.com/users/unnamedculprit "), are you guys planning who sits where?
I'll buy you a beer if you credit me as executive producer on your next video.
If you want to see a live news broadcast: ua-cam.com/video/FwdmY2KM_Nc/v-deo.html It is in Dutch, but you can see how stressful it is, and some words should be understandable.
What do you mean by "initialing" the contract?
+Ewan Jobe When amending a contract, it's recommended practice to write your initials next to the amendment to show you've agreed to the amendment. Sometimes, and this may be a jurisdiction thing, it's necessary to sign by the amendment.
Executive producer: money or source material.
In my theatre experience never voiced but we all collectively hate them
What if you don't go
did anyone else click for Tom when he had gloves on?
No? Just me?
Ok then.
Hi loving this channel .please could do more funny stories
whose garden is that?
+Havu Mii Probably just some randomer who happened to be out at the time.
Do you by any chance have a steam account you haven't used in 1116 days?
I want to be director and screenplay writer. So I can write the plot and make the movie I want. I'm too young for it but still my dream is to be director.
Live guy is the technical director
I think it would be hilarious to watch these two attempt the "Best friend Tag". I know it's not their usual, but I feel the laughs would be worth it.
Alright, so what in the world is a Director of Photography because I still have no idea what a DOP does.
+Theo G they make finer detailed decisions on what the camera operators should do with cameras, for the director to get what they want. I think. --Matt
Matt and Tom thanks Matt, didn't expect you to reply!
There's a great video of Stewart Morris doing Eurovision 1977 giving an insight of directing a live event: ua-cam.com/video/XTgCLfYdRo4/v-deo.html
Haha, I caught the reference of the giant spider! :P
i thought the show runner was responsible for everything. or are they just in charge of story and content? i have only recently even heard of a show runner as a job title.
DroneXFun If the showrunner would be responsible for everything they'd be inhumanely exhausted.
