I think it's a lot about becoming a more effective creative. Maybe thinking about better and simpler ways to make an idea great without having to depend on too many elements of production. Producers are neccesary for bigger commercial productions obviously, but sometimes it's also great to have another eye and another opinion helping you with putting ideas together for smaller projects. Yip, Collaboration is the word. yeah Padriac, you’re right. I think it’s a lot about becoming a more effective creative.

And giving away the producers role to someone else makes me complacent, it makes me that creative that complains that things aren't getting done, it takes away my balls basically, the moment I take it on myself, I find myself getting happier and happier. When I do get great producers, it's more likely these days that collaboration is the word, not employ them, not them employ me(although all the above are still options :)) I’ve decided that it’s really less about hiring a producer, than it is about becoming the best producer I can, on my own terms, finding ways that I like to do business, because I’ve always found that unless I’m happy doing something I do it badly.
