Pester People for Fun & Profit

It is amazing how much miscommunication there is in the communication business.

Sometimes you didn't adequately clarify what you wanted. Other times, people just didn't hear you. In any case, if you're a good producer, you check and recheck things. It's annoying for people, but it's the only way to catch mistakes and eliminate problems.

So call your reporters....
"Just so I'm clear, you're going to include the sheriff sound, right?"

Call your edit bays...
"You're o.k. to edit that pkg by the top of the show, right?"

Call graphics...
"Hey did you understand that graphics request I submitted?"

And so on. It may pester people, but your show (or any project you do) will profit.
