From Idea to TV Airwaves
This episode we break down three real-world examples of people we teamed up with. Where did their pitches begin? How did we shape them together? What was the process to getting them on television? And what are some take-aways that will help you find Unscripted TV success faster? Hit the big “PLAY” button above to get the goodies.
Like last episode, we’re once again broadcasting from a secret location on our top secret new show — which means it’s another iPhone episode. Good information, slightly crappy microphone, but we’re committed to getting you a show every two weeks…whatever it takes!
We touch on a few other things in this week’s podcast as well.
We Are A Production Company
Our company, Joke Productions, is a full-fledged production company. We have about 7000 square feet of office space next to Universal Studios, about 20 edit bays, 25 cameras, an online suite, lights, etc etc. However, while all that gear is necessary, it’s not what really makes us a production company.
In our business, only one thing truly makes you production company.
TV Networks trust you to make TV shows.
They hand you over a big fat check, and expect you to deliver a TV show on time and on budget.
It takes many years and a lots of experience to become an approved production company. Look for more in an upcoming podcast.
In today’s episode, however, we share the fastest way to become a production company.
