I always compare a film production with a childrens birthdayparty: ur parents are the producers who manages everything, u are the director who always has to answer how you want your party to be, what cake, entertainment etc, the film is the good time you promise ur guests to have when they decide to spend time with you
CrashCourse thanx:) Maybe the best allegory is an old school navy sail ship. *The producers are the crown, or any other financiers behind the ships voyage. People that are motivated by money, idea or destination etc for the voyage *the ship is devided by the upper and lower deck (above and below the line) *the captain is the director that decides how the voyage will be executed *the first mate is the 1stAD *the helmsman is the DOP Etc etc
Im an actor, director producer and cinephile and I freaking love this series. The presenter and the animations are out of this world. Well freaking done.
Thank you for continuing to make quality content about various topics and fields of learning. If it wasn't for Crash Course, I definitely would not have broadened my knowledge and learned as much as I have, and I've had fun along the way to boot!
Great vid! Informative and unambiguous. Although... on a typical indie film, the EP is not always the one who "oversees the whole filmmaking process and other producers involved in the project." That COULD be the case, although on the features that I've been associated with, the EP was primarily the producer involved with financing the film. A creative producer, holding the title of "Producer" was the one overseeing other producers and managing the entire process, from development to distribution. The person(s) who accepts the Oscar for Best Picture is... the Producer. Not the Executive Producer. In television, the EP generally does oversee other producers and the process. That said, I loved the clarity and fun vibe of this vid. Thank you!
If something goes wrong with a film, someone will almost certainly blame the meddling producers. If something goes right with a film, rarely will someone think to credit the producers who made it possible. It sucks to be the guy making the trains run on time.
Don't apologize about the money: Movies are a business. The main producer selects a screenplay for a movie that she thinks will make a lot more in ticket sales than it will cost to produce. Then she sells the idea of the movie to investors (the movie's pitch is the producer's sales pitch to the investors). Then she uses the investors' money to hire cast, director, and production services and organizes the actual production of the movie. When it's finished, she sells the movie to distributors. With luck, the movie sells lots of tickets to people who consider the money well spent; the distributors and investors make big profits; and if the movie helps the whole movie industry by inspiring people to buy tickets to other movies, then the producer might get to accept a "Best Picture" Oscar,
I remember an end of an Animaniacs episode where the Warner siblings are watching the end credits and making snide jokes. Yakko called the producers “credit hogging do-nothings”.😂

Great Videos thanks for confirming that a Producer is the true head of Production also what an Executive Producer also a Shout out to Kathleen Kennedy yay can't wait for The Last Jedi
Would you be able to do a Russian revolution video in your world history area please? Studying year 12 History in Australia and that's the one major thing on the course that you guys haven't covered and would love to see your take on it!
There are clues to the reference that someone who has never seen the movie wouldn't pick up on. The doppelganger of a caricature can be seen holding a golf club and a hockey stick at various times throughout the video. *The Character* Happy Gilmore was a crappy hockey player turned pro golfer. Not to mention that the name of Sandler's production company is derived from the titles of his movies: 'Happy Gilmore' and 'Billy Madison' ;p
I’ll explain what producers are MUCH better and clearer than the video did. Producers are corporate managers/supervisors like the one who’s behind you as you watch this video from a cubicle. They’re only called producers and not “managers” because humans are stupid and they have a thousand different types of producers who all micromanage each other for the same reason most companies out there have General Managers, regular Managers and Assistant Managers. Remember Dwight from the Office pointlessly calling himself Assistant Regional Manager instead of Assistant TO THE Regional Manager in an effort to seem more senior than his fellow employees? It’s the same thing with producers. Just think of “manager” instead of “producer” and you’ll understand how it works much easier. Producers work for large studios and these studios are nameless, faceless corporations that have useless jobs and titles that aren’t needed just as much as other big corporations do. It’s why actors and directors usually make fun of them and call them useless. Yes a truly capable producer can carry the entire project but when we’re talking about Hollywood with its large production teams most of them just end up bringing coffee and making 2 phone calls per day. It’s a joke profession and that’s why it’s not more heavily regulated. Just like corporate managers.
Chareeya Hernaez I guess you didn't see the video in this series talking about cameras, shots and framing. They're using the rule of thirds here, which is the preferred way to frame a person in a video like this.
Learning who does what behind the scenes isn't very useful knowledge. Learning the ins and outs of the Art of Film making is. The stuff you are teaching, you can find out in one google search. The art of Film Making could take hundreds. That's what we want to learn. The language of Film. ie if this was Crash Course Pottery, then you'd be telling us what pots do, instead of the art of pottery.

Great Love Both Analogies
@@MarkFilipAnthony Etc etc? I need more comparisons like this!!!
@@dreamdarts6401 why? :P
Never arranged or been in a birthdayparty?
Thank you. I have always wondered what a producer was. I've looked it up online and it didn't really help lol.
- What's an associate producer credit?
- It's what you give to your secretary instead of a raise.

This series has been so interesting :)
Yes, incredible!
Glad I have a video to show people now when they ask me what I do.
I swear there’s a CC video for every random question that pops in my head
take a shot every time she says 'Producer'
NO!!!!
Try not to die
You can make a full movie out of it
I died..
Only if you promise to donate me your liver
Can there be crash course music which teaches music theory
Eve Love yes!! Would love this.
I second this!
Third
FOURTH!!! YESSSSS
I want that, because it will be of huge help to me.
Finally! I've always been confused by this topic. Thanks for this great vid!
J. D. Salinger presents
Hollywoo producers
What do they do?
Do they do things?
Let's find out!
Nice
I loved this episode. Wow thank you so much to help me understand the basics of how this goes. I’m a director in learning the ropes.
This host has attitude in her delivery. Keep it up!

I hope Lily does more stuff on CC. She's great.
2:16 easter egg: the mask used in the bank robbery scene by the Joker in The Dark Knight. Great easter egg by the way, Crash Course!

I would love to be a director/producer/screen writer. I want to start my own media company one day! anyone else want to be a film maker?
Amara Chimezie yes I want to be a cinematographer
i love you Lily! you are so cute and so clear and concise in your descriptions. I wish you could explain everything there is to explain.
As someone studying to be a firefighter and EMS I’m just saying we need a crash course for both of them
If this isn’t done I might make a channel that’s just firefighting and EMS crash course
I remember an end of an Animaniacs episode where the Warner siblings are watching the end credits and making snide jokes. Yakko called the producers “credit hogging do-nothings”.😂
A producer is a job no one else does but everyone needs
I totally thought I had this set at 1.25x speed. I didn't.
The producer is the money guy.
An associate producer does various or numerous tasks assigned to them -JS
Keep it up 🔥🎶
I would love to know what it's like to be a producer. If I ever go into film, that's how I want to contribute.
Awesome, thanks a lot!
Is that Academy Award nominated actress Lily Gladstone??🤯
Amazing crash course it seems you have a lot of experience in this business!

John should have guest starred to explain what HE did as a producer when his movies were being made.
"Even though it can be confusing what they do" and…it still is tbh.
Do i really need a producer?
Yes. Even if YOU are that producer. You'll need someone to have a bird's eye view of the whole production to keep the whole machine going.
- Nick J.
You need some of those people running other details. Simplest example, asking your friend to take care of the costumes, voila.. he's a producer now.
If you want to produce something, then by definition you need a producer.
I think she is some kind of producer too. Not sure, but she looks like a good deal and knows how her platform very well.
would love to know about a creative director soon!
Thank you, always been a nagging question.
Whew, I wonder how many times "producer" was said during this clip!?
I'm going to guess... a lot.
- Nick J.
Great Videos thanks for confirming that a Producer is the true head of Production also what an Executive Producer also a Shout out to Kathleen Kennedy yay can't wait for The Last Jedi
i want crashcourse linguistics or crashcourse music :p
I organized my first short film, so that means I am a producer. :o But I also directed.
Yep. You are a Producer/Director :D
- Nick J.
films couldn't be made without producers. What do producers do? Nothing in particular, but they help.
Is that Bobby Orr on the title pic?
0:42 NOOO 😂😂
It finally answers THE question: WHAT DOES JORDAN SCHLANSKY DO?
With that license plate in the background, it makes sense that Back to the Future would get a mention. ;)
her voice is so much more deeper in this one
"How could this happen? I was so careful. I picked the wrong play, the wrong director, the wrong cast. Where did I go right?"
Would you be able to do a Russian revolution video in your world history area please? Studying year 12 History in Australia and that's the one major thing on the course that you guys haven't covered and would love to see your take on it!
Stephen Spielberg was only credited as a producer on Poltergeist, not an executive producer.
lol at the timing of this video's release
I am not necessarily up on current events... did something happen?
- Nick J.
Big New York Times story just came out today about Harvey Weinstein is all
Wow! I just read it. Thanks for pointing me to the article.

Can you make a video on the Vietnam war

Did you use copy and paste when inserting the most common word in the film?
THE ROOM

Yes.
- Nick J.
Do not drink every time she says “producer”

We filmed these in the winter so it was REAL cold inside and out.
- Nick J.
If i want to make a quick 20 minute short film would i need a producer
If you do not know what you are doing, then you need a producer. If it is a small project, you become your own producer.
Educational!
Crash Course Fine Arts or Visual Arts please.................. :) or maybe Music Theory
Wow...I need an aspirin.
Why was Happy Gilmore so heavily featured in this episode?
Because Adam Sandler is the rare Actor/Producer.
- Nick J.
First comment😎 ps love your videos ❤️
What's with the Bruins theme? I mean, I'm not complaining, but...
That's Happy Gilmore.
i.imgur.com/xD8vaWX.jpg
Right, because Adam Sandler's from NH.

I I want movie producer good Universal concept good subject wonderful making madam
Marry me! You are perfect.
Heres an idea: Crash Course American Sign Language.
For some reason im annoyed she isnt in the center of the video... am I the only one?
Chareeya Hernaez I guess you didn't see the video in this series talking about cameras, shots and framing. They're using the rule of thirds here, which is the preferred way to frame a person in a video like this.
Test
Hello is Russia, bro
So many producers, and no fruit to eat, anywhere.
Yeah, I said it.
I used to be a Lyin Producer.. then I got caught 🙁
You should do videos about math
So wait, the producer isn't 2 guy who tried to make money by creating a movie so bad no one would watch it, and end up making a Springtime of Hitler?
