Rules of thumb for new Producers/Editors
by Timothy J. Allen on Jul 20, 2009 at 8:01:35 pm

We have a few interns in our office this summer and I've been passing along a few "rules of thumb" that I hope will help them as they start their career. Some our tongue-in-cheek, but they all could help when the day comes.

Today's tip was "Never label a video file or tape with the word "Final" - it pretty much guarantees that you will have to do another revision.

Yesterday's was "Don't ever go out drinking with co-workers - unless you or your spouse are the designated driver."

Any other practical and immediately useful tips for these guys?
