Dear Art Producer

Tim Tadder is a professional photographer based near San Diego, and Dahlia Weidmann is Tim’s executive producer. Heather talks with them about estimating jobs and creating content within the Covid-19 protocols as well as sourcing shoot protocol information (CDC, APA, OSHA, etc.). They also discuss how Tim rediscovered his pure creative style when shoot sizes were minimized, creative collaborations by working remotely, the roles and responsibilities of safety officers on set, taping off department sections with colored tape that coordinates with arm bands (and other coronavirus safety protocols), streaming communication channels on set and what agencies and clients can do now to prepare what productions will be like in the future.   In an industry where the rules are always changing, it’s helpful to hear from those on the front lines.
