Carey's Good News
How adherence to the Blue Book ensured fairness and success on a challenging production.
The Blue Book Works!
Recently I worked on a Cowley Films TVC in Auckland. The NZ Line Producer (Craig Sinclair) was terrific at sticking to the Blue Book as we negotiated our way through fairly typical US line production circumstances… OT, Broken Turnaround, Swing Drivers, 7th Filming Day, etc.
When we got to circumstances that were not clearly spelt out in the Blue Book, the entire crew was consulted and the collective agreement was stuck to. Brilliant!
The US producers appreciated having (written) parameters so they knew in advance what each scheduling decision would cost them.
All in all, a happy job.
Cheers,
Carey Johnson
