Pre-production

That’s how the most part of the days start. Planning every single step going deeply into the details.
Nothing must be underrated. No possibility to consider any mistake.
Working with budgets, and sometimes huge budgets we must recognize to the pre-production the importance it deserves.
Budgeting, location scouting, casting and everything will need on location the shooting day to make it a perfect day.
And as always, be prepared for a Plan B and even a Plan C, just in case the Plan A fails.
