Job Description
In collaboration with the Head of Production and the Line Producer, the Executive Producer is involved from the very beginning of the project, often as early as pre-production. He takes part in the prospection of new projects thanks to a great knowledge of the actors in the industry, the Studios and the films in preparation.
He’s usually the first point of contact of the client as he’s bidding new projects. He does the sales pitch and presents Mikros Animation. He puts together a global schedule that goes with the first bid as well. Based on the first calls, he refines the bid and the strategy (split of the work across multiple locations for example) with the Global Head of Productions.
During the pre-production phase, he reads the scripts, analyzes the complexity of the film and quickly draws up an initial estimate. He leads the commercial discussion with the client and refines his estimate as the brief becomes clearer. He also drafts an initial global schedule very early on in order to assess the feasibility of the project. He is the main contact with the client during this phase.
Once the project is awarded, he remains the key contact for the Studio. He’s part of the any high level meeting to discuss the strategy, budget, artistic direction of the project, recruitment, schedule, quotas, …
During the production phase, he works closely with the Line Producer to establish a consistent overall schedule and present it to the client (order of sequences, quotas, milestones, start and end dates of the departments…). He discusses the quotas and targets with the creative team on a weekly basis.
The EP needs to see the big picture and does not have to go in all the reviews, but he has a very strong understanding of all the steps of the fabrication of a CG animated movie.
His collaboration with the Line Producer allows to present a robust and consistent team to the client, and to solve problems when they appear and communicate solutions to the client. He must keep an overview of the project in order to anticipate problems.
The EP is deeply involved with the recruitment of the key talents (VFX Sups, CG Sups, Animation Director, Art Director, …), and reports to the Client when they have a say on these positions.
He’s establishing the critical assumptions document with the Line Producer and drafting the cash flow schedule with the Finance team.
The EP will work on the cost report every month and present it to the Studio. Producing and discussing Change Orders with the client when necessary is also part of his tasks.
