Produc­tion Coordi­nation

There are logistical considerations and legalities to address for more complex video shoots. The production coordinator does a lot of this behind-the-scenes work, in coordination with the field producer. In lieu of a location manager, the production coordinator coordinates the location logistics: any location fees, rules, etc that need to be adhered to when using the space. The production coordinator ensures that talent releases are created, signed and archived with the project. They may be in charge of creating call sheets and ensuring all crew and talent know when and where to show up on shoot day, and what each person should bring with them. They also work closely with production assistants, who often help them on shoot day with the myriad of tasks to be done to pull off a great shoot day. The production coordinator is responsible for more of the administrative tasks of a video project, while the field producer is responsible for more of the on-set work done on the shoot days.
