One Day Corporate Shoot

in General On-Set

Hello,

Not sure this site is attracting much traffic, but I'm hoping someone could give me pointers on creating COVID protocols for a one-day shoot. I'm working with a corporate production company, who doesn't really have much in place, as they are mostly producing remote events. However, because I will be producing the day-shoot, I'd like to have something in place. The PGA Production COVID resources are great, but are pretty involved. Any pointers on what should be included, but could be left out in this trunciated guide?

Thank you for any assistance, pointers, or thoughts.

It would be best to hire a COVID-19 Compliance Officer with C19CO certification, preferably someone with producer experience.

Getting someone who has already distilled the information is the way to go. Too much liability otherwise.

There's several of us around. Besides myself, there's also Marcie Mule'.
