@jayclouse Credibility.

@DannyManus @JimBondIsBack Twenty years in television has taught me that EVERYONE loves a show that’s fresh and unique but almost no one has the balls to actually put their money where their mouth is.

@MarioJoos I haven’t seen you post this yet, but I’m curious if you think this new system is better for creators or for viewers?

[Producers_Edge @ProdEdge]

@jayclouse Mine lasted about a quarter. I had AJ Brown 🙃

@jayclouse If it makes you feel better, every writer I’ve ever known, has a hard time getting into it :)

[Producers_Edge @ProdEdge]

@TS_Secrets And they probably home school 🫣

When you bring guests on your TV show, it is because you need their perspective on the subject matter. LET THEM SPEAK.

You cannot be host and guest at the same time. This is becoming truly untidy. Makes watching TV uninspiring.

[Producers_Edge @ProdEdge]

Tend to agree, but it depends on the TYPE of interview and how much time you have to ask those questions.

If you have an hour, answers can be important because they’ll tell you what to ask next and more importantly, HOW to ask it.

Especially when it comes to guests who are interviewed often. If you’re going to continue down the beaten path, research should tell you how they’ll respond ahead of time.

@TS_Secrets A comma would have helped.

[Producers_Edge @ProdEdge]

Now this is a fun question.

In the world of unscripted TV where I spent most of my time, cost is certainly a factor.

Preditors tend to have higher rates since many also produce when they’re not editing.

But really it comes down to scarcity.

There’s tons who are smart and can see when something isn’t working. But recognizing a flaw and knowing how to fix it are two different things.

The other primary reason, is that producers often diminish the importance of story skills in an editor. They get lured in by a flashy reel or an impressive resume and forget that story is most important aspect.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a producer marvel at a slick scene with quick cuts and cool graphics that makes absolutely no sense.

So when the scene or episode isn’t working and they can’t figure out a solution they try to edit themselves out of the situation, but it rarely, if ever, works.

Not all home runs get pitched in the strike zone lol

[Hollywood Script Reader @HwoodScrptReadr]

It is true that to succeed as a screenwriter in Hollywood you need a combination of talent and luck. But the people who say it's all luck are the ones who don't have the talent. I said what I said

@bradsmith Do a dry run. Without the cameras rolling. The second take will always be stronger than the first.

[Producers_Edge @ProdEdge]

@glindaupland Guys, it’s because a ride to and from set is a very common perk/service whatever you want to call it provided by productions. Especially for stars.

[Producers_Edge @ProdEdge]

@robertoblake Wait what!? What’s the realistic thing? This just says not everyone has the time to make bangers and then you trail off.

@MattMasonCA @JulieChangRE I’ve been many times. It’s the Bakersfield of Texas.
