Production Coordinator — cánh tay phải Producer
PC work tại production company / on location production office. Báo cáo Line Producer / Production Manager / Producer. Work full production cycle (4-12 tháng feature, 3-9 tháng TV season). Phase: pre-production heavy paperwork (1-3 tháng) → production daily coordination (1-4 tháng) → post-production wrap + vendor (3-6 tháng). 12+ hour day during production common.
Setup production office: physical space, equipment, software (Movie Magic, StudioBinder, ShotGrid). Crew hire paperwork: contract per crew member, NDA, deal memo, W-9 / tax form. Vendor setup: equipment rental, transport, catering, hotel block. Insurance: production insurance, workers comp, completion bond. Location agreement coordinate với Locations Department.
Pre-production setup
During shoot. Call sheet distribute (daily schedule for crew — what call time, who needed, what scene). Script revision distribute (color-coded pages — pink, blue, yellow per draft). Crew + cast transportation coordinate. Meal + craft service coordinate với caterer. Petty cash + per diem distribute. Daily wrap report: scene shot, time, issue, tomorrow plan.
Call sheet
Daily coordinate
Hub of communication. Emergency call hub. Problem solve: actor late → reschedule; weather change → location swap; equipment break → vendor replace; crew member sick → backup hire. Coordinate fast với multiple party. Email + Slack heavy. Phone ringing constant. Documentation crucial — paper trail for every decision.
Problem solve
Production wrap. Equipment return to rental house — track every item, address damage charge. Crew off-board: final paperwork, payment, thank you. Wrap party coordinate. Post-production transition: footage delivery to Editor, paperwork transfer. Vendor invoice reconcile. Production report final — what spent vs budget, lessons learn.
Wrap + post
Track everyone, everything. System critical — to-do list, calendar, file system, naming convention. Detail obsession. Nothing slip.
Movie Magic Budgeting + Scheduling — industry standard. StudioBinder — modern alternative. Final Draft — script. Microsoft Office / Google Workspace. Slack + Email. QuickBooks / accounting tool. Master multiple tool.
Hub. Communicate với Director, Producer, Star, crew, vendor, lawyer — different style each. Diplomacy. Manage difficult personality. Clear concise message. Documentation paper trail.
Hiểu production quy trình + crew structure + department function. Terminology. Without this, scheduling unrealistic + coordination fail.
Handle contract daily. Hiểu basic terms — crew deal memo, vendor agreement, location release, talent contract. Cannot replace lawyer but recognize issue. Read: "This Business of Film".
Emergency happens daily. Stay calm. Solve fast. Don't panic. Reassure team. Prioritize. Make tough call quick.
