producing is an art form, as my staff learned this week. we had {19-1 minute} videos to produce in 2 days. yep, that's right, 19.i looked at this experience as a way to teach my new assistants what producing entails. i love that they both are so enthusiastic to learn about styling and producing, so...blissfully they signed on to put the whole production together.when you have been producing like i have for over 20 years you take for granted the main frame computer you call your brain.watching their process of producing each segment, was at times painful, but in the end very satisfying. they did a great job!... managing 400 moving parts? well, as Emily said to me "it's tough, but it's not boring". exactly.what does it take to be a stylist and a producer? i always hear "it must be so glamorous!" oh yeah! check out this list 1.manic attention to detail2.endless energy3.OCD to the highest degree4.the constant need to wipe + sweep + clean5.the unexplainable desire to label everything + stack things in neat piles6. ...and a strong back* the "great style" thing...well that comes in handy alright... but comes in way after all of the above.Here is some great behind the scenes snapshots from the shoot~
