3 Ways to Produce Media Content On-Set, Post Covid Quarantine / Bryan Allen (PopFizz Productions)
Description
Good morning. Welcome back to 15 minutes of fame. My name is goldy. Today it's gonna be another rendition of learning about how to be effective in the world of events and industry, but then it's covid life. What is today - april 26? Something like that, I believe. 24? Yeah. 24. Sure. Sounds great. You can see already a little bit of confusion and a little bit of whirlwind going on in my head. I'm trying to collect my thoughts. I'm trying to be very poignant because we have three points to talk about in this particular interview today. Today i'm with bryan allen. Bryan allen is a producer of a company known as popfizz productions. They do in-studio and out-of-studio media creation - Video, print, picture, all the things which means they're working with every line of production when it comes to a shoot. Could be catering. Could be cameras. Could be lights. Could be - the list is long. It's always creative. I'm gonna let bryan take it away from here - let you know who he is, how long he's been in the industry and all the things that he does. Then we have three ways a media company can jump back into business, a month and some change, after covid-19 has been throwing curveballs at us, all year long. Bryan - tell us who you are. Take it away brother. Thanks, goldy. Thanks for having me, man. It's an honor to be here. You mentioned my company's name is popfizz. We create still photography, video assets, animation for brands, agencies, networks, live events, all over the world. We're based in the southeast. Knoxville, tennessee. But we we work all over the place. I met you, in switzerland. We get out there and get around. We do a host of production. We do commercial stuff for brands. We do linear television, but we also do live events. We've don't quite a bit of that. I think that's what you're more interested in today. It's really, pretty similar for us. Probably 90% of production we do, no matter what the distribution model, is location based. We're out of the office. Out in the real world. Post covid, that's gonna impact everything we do. Your media on a very large scale, but the type of business you do is very parallel to a two-person team. If you're just getting started with your dslr and you've got your new light and you got your studio backdrop and you're, like "sick, let's make content. " How long have you been doing it bryan? I've been a photographer all my life. Popfizz is in it's eighth year. I've been doing video production for probably 4-5 years before that. I've been doing this for 10 - 15 years professionally. I've been a creative, all my life. That's the idea that we want people to take away from this interview. To understand that, even if on a major scale, if you're in a hollywood studio or if you are in a small room that you rented in your hometown. There are gonna be some ideas to acclimate to, moving forward into post covid era, when it comes to how we do our job. There's three ways. I want to talk about these three ways. They're not the only three ways, but they're the three ways that you are going to move your company and you yourself into this movement. The first way, i'd like to talk to you about - you let me know that there's an emotional part number one - the emotional part of moving back into, post covid.
