Here's how you can effectively manage stress and avoid burnout in video production.

The best way to manage stress is to choose to work with talented people that are collaborative and respectful. We have to remind ourselves that we have amazing jobs and if it gets overwhelming then we have to be responsible enough to take care of ourselves by turning down some work and taking some time off to reset. Everything else is just preparation and dedication to the people we work with and the project we're working on. This is not rocket science and a bad day should never be a life and death situation, so relax and try to enjoy the opportunities in front of us.

In my experience, During a high-profile commercial shoot, our primary location fell through last minute. I quickly found a backup, showcasing my resourcefulness. When a key actor got sick on set, I improvised the script to keep the project on track. Learning the importance of adaptability and creative problem-solving, this experience taught me valuable lessons in navigating obstacles in video production.
