This book is a comprehensive guide to remote producing for film and video, exploring how guiding visual media from a distance can improve efficiency, encourage sustainability, and reduce costs by limiting on-site staff.

Veteran producer Nick Smith provides a complete breakdown of this specialised but increasingly essential role, with a step-by-step examination of how remote producing works. Looking first at the development stage, the book provides hard-won and expert advice on the necessary preparations for a successful production, before breaking down remote management of projects, with things like budgeting, casting, production management, postproduction, key approaches to communication, and much more.

Nick’s insights are supplemented by highly experienced filmmakers from around the world, sharing their knowledge of remote producing in various media, from network television to grassroots documentary recording. Multiple genres of television and film, including episodic television, news and weather, sport and drama are all explored within a remote producing framework, to provide a truly holistic understanding of this nascent development in film and video. The book is also packed with essential facts, checklists, case studies and other resources, to aid reader understanding and practical applicability.

This is an invaluable resource for student and professional producers who want to harness this nascent development in filmmaking for their film and video projects
