Producers

In today’s episode, we chat about the role of the producer.

While we talk mostly about the role of a producer in the motion graphics industry, we acknowledge the different kinds of producers that exist in adjacent industries. Going deep into the role we cover both the job responsibilities as well as the necessary personality traits of a producer. Understanding that different companies use producers in a variety of capacities and that personality traits aren’t set in stone, the conversation will go a long way in helping guide a person understand the complexities of the role. We also cover what we look for in a great producer, where producers come from and why are producers so important to the creative process!  

So whether you are an artist or someone looking to become a producer, this episode will give you valuable insight into the world of a producer and how they fit into the process.
