How to Prioritize Post-Production Video Projects

Post-production projects include a barrage of items such as commercials, films, company/organization videos, and TV spots, just to name a few. To be successful, you need to be able to work on multiple projects at one time and complete the needs of the client on time. Organizing and prioritizing your projects are vital to serve this function.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Understand the skills needed to keep your post-production projects organized and prioritized. This should include the ability to multi-task, work with clients in a professional and personable manner and handle the pressure of deadlines and demanding clients.

2. Get organized. Put up a calendar white board and mark down deadlines. This will help you keep a visual idea of what is coming up and that will help you prioritize your daily schedule. You should also keep a communication log for each of your projects with detailed notes of the conversation.

3. Decide which projects are the highest priority. This could be determined by the amount of money you are making on a particular project, the earliest deadline you have looming, or the project requiring the most hours of work.

4. Keep every client happy and informed. The best way to keep all the balls in the air is to make sure you are meeting the demands of every client and keeping in constant contact with them, regardless of the price of their project. This ensures continued work in the future and a great reputation in the post-production industry.
