This blog is written by Palmer Enfield. Palmer is a producer-director and the founder of RedMaiden (www.redmaiden.tv), a branded content, boutique creative company. As a director, her forte is slice of life storytelling and visual imagery. Like RedMaiden, she is a warrior in her own right--a two time cancer survivor (Hodgkins Lymphoma & Breast Cancer) her strength has been forged in life or death battles. Palmer’s personal experience adds a unique weight and substance that is reflected in her work where her willingness to expose and share her own story helps people give voice to their own personal human drama. Out of this comes Palmer’s natural sense of dialogue and performance and her ability to capture spontaneity through great casting choices and direction. Palmer’s directing style is emotional, visual storytelling, dialogue and kids with a touch of subtle, dry humor. Her growing body of work naturally attracts pharmaceutical and healthcare related projects as well as many others. Palmer believes strongly that mentoring and sharing information is essential to the growth of a creative economy. This blog was born out of that belief. Contact Palmer at palmer@redmaiden.tv

Pick-Ups & Returns

Read your pick- up or return list thoroughly before you start!

When you pay for something, get a receipt, regardless of how you paid. You keep receipts for things that were paid with your petty cash and reconcile them at the end of the job. Receipts for things paid with checks or credit cards or on account must be turned in immediately to Production. Do not wait till the end of the job to turn in these receipts.

If the vendor doesn’t have what you expect him to give you, call Production immediately.

Load the trucks neatly and safely. Be particularly careful with props. Tie things off on the truck, use sound blankets, and take the time to do it right. Keeping the Shoot Day Checklist in mind, don’t bury the things you are going to need first.

Call in at each vendor or location you are sent to. You never know when additional items may be needed.
