My advice for producers is first to set out with a plan of action and organization. There are a lot of interesting ideas, but they'll never get off the ground without knowing exactly what your specific message is and knowing what it is you need to do to get to the end result. Sometimes your plans might change in the middle of the whole production because of something unexpected, which can happen a lot due to "happy accidents" or unfortunate circumstances and things out of your control. Even if this happens, a plan is always helpful, and you can re-evaluate your process to see what you need to adjust. Having a good, enthusiastic technical crew helps, too, since they can offer suggestions and can understand what it is you're trying to do. Weave some extra time into your schedule in case you want to add something or do something different. Finally, be open for creativity in anything you do!
