The GLAMOROUS side of production!

Lance Robson and Brian Satchfield during this morning's pre-production meeting for an upcoming 60-TV commercial project. This will be just one of many.

Shoot days are always the exciting part...but the extensive pre-production planning we go through helps ensure a trouble-free shoot and allows us to capture everything needed (and usually a bit more) while remaining on time and on budget.

Having every detail accounted for helps ensure an enjoyable project for the client, the talent and the DMS crew...yet allows room to be spontaneous if a new idea arises or to respond to unforeseen circumstances if needed.

Pre-production planning and accountability makes everything else fall into place! It's a vital part of every single Digital Media Services project.

We just completed a really fun and insightful 3-day shoot for long-time client Lincare in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Lincare patients, providers and team members discussed why Lincare is a leader in treating individuals with all kinds of respiratory conditions. Thanks to Lincare's Ashley Lovell for all her support and direction. We'll soon start on preproduction for the video.

FRIDAY FUN! Most of the time, my AD/AC Lance Robson - Image & Sound is busy managing cameras, lights, audio, sets and crew...but every once in a while he finds a moment to grab some production footage of what I'm shooting. Here's 60 quick seconds of some of Lance's behind-the-scenes clips!

Delivered pizzas to our sponsored classroom this afternoon for their year-end pizza party! If you're so inclined, I encourage you to consider sponsoring a local public school classroom next year...it's a minimal commitment (or as much as you want!) and the kids and teachers are always so appreciative!

I'm officially declaring today to be "Right-hand Man & Right-hand Woman Day"!

From Miami to Anchorage, from Baltimore to Salt Lake City and countless places in between, for the past 15 years, my right-hand man Lance Robson - Image & Sound has been at my side on virtually every production and on every shoot.

In every ER, OR, ICU, NICU, Cath Lab, exam room, imaging room, boardroom and waiting room...on every rooftop, in every patient residence, in every physician clinic, in every city park, state park and national park...even on hot air balloons, fishing boats and helicopter flights - Lance has been there supporting me by running cameras, recording audio, building sets, taking still photos and managing all kinds of other multifarious activities.

Any success I've had has no-doubt been the result of a team effort...from the clients, to the willing patients, to the hospital staff and, most of all, to Lance, my right-hand man.

So, let's celebrate our loyal specialists, multitaskers, assistants, team leaders, support staff and any of those who are continually relied upon to get the job done!

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week! And today is May the 4th! The perfect excuse to donate a set of Star Wars Pops! (and a few other items) to the Digital Media Services adopted classroom!

The Dunedin Causeway connects the small town of Dunedin to Honeymoon Island State Park on the west coast of Florida. It's a popular place for walking, jogging, biking, fishing, kayaking, boating, sunbathing and wildlife [and people] watching. It's also a fantastic spot to test out new camera equipment including drones!

Variety has put together its first-ever list of The 100 Best Movies of All Time. Thoughts?

The movies are now more than 100 years old. That still makes them a young medium, at least in art-form years (how old is the novel? the theater? the painting?). But they’re just old enough to…
