Description

In this episode of The Offset Podcast, we’re discussing strategies for managing client review sessions - both in person and remote.  The review session sounds straightforward on paper, but it can be a complicated balancing act of moving things along, addressing changes, and keeping everyone happy.  


Some of the specifics we discuss in this episode include:


  • Managing both in-person and remote review sessions
  • The importance of ‘knowing’ the show - content, characters, etc
  • Modulating small talk and reading the room
  • Leveraging markers & notes for remaining tasks to accomplish & notes to self
  • Anticipating problems, tangents, and pushback
  • Setup your grading pipeline to make changes and comparisons easy for the client
  • The power of making choices and changes visual 
  • Documenting and tracking changes for consistency and completion 
  • Making sure the technology works - audio, networking, lighting, passwords etc
  • Having a backup strategy  - rendering out intermediate masters, duplicate projects/timelines
  • Having clearly defined goals for the review session & a post-review plan
