The Pragmatic Producer WIP Podcast: Recent Episodes
Aaron O'Neill
Flexibility can be good to help deal with uncertainty and the unknown (e.g. complexity, it takes 3 hours not 1, missing a resource etc.)
Consistency is also powerful. Building one brick at a time is the proven way to get results.
Both approaches take discipline. Flexibility is not laziness. It is measured and intentional. Why I like flexibility: Sometimes it’s what keeps you in the game. Rigid, black & white can mean you are failing or succeeding.
This fortnight’s progress: - Design becomes storyboard - fill in the details. Live action and screen capture. - The Grind has set in, resistance to productivity, but flow happens eventually. - A little tired, on the verge of the next phase - production.
Resourcefulness - Creating good live action video is not simple. Lighting, camera quality, room sound, and everything DIY can be hard to manage and do well.

This weeks progress: - New website! For the tutorial series. - Project Milestones diagram - planning elements and timeframes.
Topic Discover and Play - I wanted to create a diagram in GoogeDrive and noticed you could make a website document. Intrigued I allowed myself 10mins to go on a tangent and check it out which lead to an ad-free and easy to create web page.
