One person oversees the whole production so everyone else can deliver

The production manager coordinates timings, crew, locations, transport and facilities. A producer may also take responsibility for the wider project, budget and client relationship. On a smaller production, the roles can be combined; on a larger one, it is worth separating the responsibilities.

When does a shoot need dedicated coordination?

If the operator or client also has to keep track of timings, travel and deliveries, the production quickly loses momentum.

01

Several crew members and locations

Crew and equipment availability, contributors, and the travel time between locations all need to be synchronised.

02

A short shooting day

A precise schedule, a clear order of shots and each department’s readiness prevent costly downtime.

03

Location production

Transport, accommodation, permits, power and equipment returns all require one up-to-date list of responsibilities.

Production management scope

We can manage the shooting day itself or take on the wider preparation of the production.

01

Budget and scope

Structuring the requirements, priorities, constraints and items that need to be quoted separately.

02

Crew and equipment

Selecting roles, confirming availability and matching the right people with the right technical resources.

03

Schedule and call sheet

The running order, timings, addresses, contacts and information needed by everyone involved in the shoot.

04

Shoot-day coordination

Keeping track of time, responding to delays, and coordinating meals, transport and equipment returns.

Crew and equipment within one production plan

GetCamera can combine equipment hire with the selection of a camera operator, camera assistant, gaffer, sound recordist and production designer. The production manager brings these elements into a single schedule and identifies what must be ready before the next crew members arrive.

Producer or production manager?

The producer usually oversees the wider objective, budget and client relationship. The production manager focuses on delivery: people, timings, logistics and the running of the shoot. On a simpler project, one person can combine both areas of responsibility.

Before you send an enquiry

01Can I book production management for the shooting day only?

Yes, if the brief, crew and location are already confirmed. We will need an up-to-date handover of all arrangements and contacts before the shoot.

02How early should production planning begin?

This depends on the scale. The more people, locations, permits and production-design elements involved, the earlier the production must be confirmed.

03Can you provide the complete crew and equipment package?

We can propose the required roles and combine them with equipment from the GetCamera catalogue. The final crew depends on the brief and budget.

04Do you organise productions outside Silesia?

Yes. We are based in Tarnowskie Góry and can prepare location productions in other parts of Poland.
