How Freelancers Can Succeed

Creative director and theatrical production designer Sarah Burren.

Creative entrepreneur's journey

Creative entrepreneur Sarah Burren talks about the five year journey to bring her 'edu-tainment' project Journey to the Deep to the world.

Making Facebook Count

In his latest tips for How Freelancers Can Succeed, Ande Schurr says Facebook can ignite the fires of your business and help define and develop its culture and spirit.

"Madant is definitely a family. I'm sure all the best production outfits in the world have a very close team at the core of them and Madant is certainly one of those," says Creative Director Troy Sugrue.

The Madant Mafia

There is a saying that blood is thicker than water, that the bonds between family is stronger than those of friendships. When it comes to building a successful company, the rules change.

Adapting to the market in 2012

As long as we are not too slow to adapt to the market we will survive. What kind of adaption is required? Here are the four kinds recommended by Ande Schurr in How Freelancers Can Succeed.

The Transmedia Director

Storytelling is one of the oldest art forms for communicating ideas and one of the great adapters to evolving mediums. So are the creators and makers, like director Chris Clark.

Audio engineers Steve Hartley and Patrick Duncan.

Field to Screen

If you're tuning into the live coverage of the Rugby World Cup, spare a thought for those working behind the scenes. Ande Schurr talks to one cog in the machine, audio engineers.

Freelance Lessons Learned

Ande Schurr shares his 'lessons learned' from six years of freelancing and asks you to share yours.

The Making of a Film Company

In the middle of the recession last year, popular director-producer partnership, Mike Oldershaw and Johnny Blick, started up their own company Waitemata Films. Ande Schurr interviewed them.

The cost of jumping ship

We can lose more than our income if we neglect the basics of building a business and jump ship too soon, says Ande Schurr.

Clean location sound

Capturing 100 percent clean location sound is the ideal, especially if shooting lower budget films, but is it always possible? Ande Schurr offers some technical tips.
