Tess Rockers is a Producer at Evolution Bureau (EVB) and Jennifer Davick is a Food director, DP and still photographer on the Heather Elder Represents roster. They recently created four motion spots for a cookware client, and they talk about how they did the production under COVID-19 restrictions. 

Heather, Tess and Jennifer discuss the Create in Place online directory of photographers and videographers that are able to create content from within their own studios or homes, the evolving protocols, solutions and equipment for remote shooting, production and live-streaming, the need for creative flexibility when there are smaller crews, setting realistic expectations for clients and teams, best practices for group discussions and one-on-one discussions during virtual meetings. They also cover topics such as how to select what team members should be part of the virtual decision-making, communications manager roles, the heightened importance of pre-production, doing trial runs of virtually communicating and production postmortems. In an industry where the rules are always changing, it’s helpful to hear from those on the front lines.
