Survive Production: 7 Weird Tips Guaranteed to Save Your Sanity and Help Avoid Burnout

It’s your first big project — or just a really huge step forward in your career. You are the lead creative. Don’t die.

Useful Tips You Can Use.

Producing Unscripted Podcast with Joke and Biagio - Today: Production Tips and Tricks to Keep You Sane. We’re still shooting our top secret new show for a major cable network (and still can’t tell you what it is…)

But we CAN tell you one thing — when you’re working on a big project, there are 7 steps you’ll want to take before you step into the black hole that is production.

We try to live by these. In fact, the list we talk about today is one we came up with back in 2009.

It’s funny to look back at that post now. Even though we’re four years more successful and have a lot more shows under our belts these tips apply just as much today as they did back then.

So spend 11 minutes and 55 seconds with us as we break down some truly useful production tips you won’t hear anywhere else.

And have a laugh at how punch drunk and delirious we are, now about six weeks into our nine week schedule, for the most ambitious show we’ve made so far.

Press the giant “play” button above — and don’t undertake your next production until you do.

Transcript coming soon!

Okay, you’ve got some great unscripted concepts, a little bit of tape, and think you know which networks your show is right for? Especially now that you know what TV networks buy?
