Creator's Key Takeaways

After producing a couple of shorts about my job as a first TV operator on board Aita, we got the question, how did we produce the movie that we sell to the guests?

Our selling point is that we hand out the movie on USB stick to the guests in the end of the cruise.

We have to request permission to go there. For excursions, we write to the tour and activities manager who arranges all the excursions and trips on land.

On the last day, then we have the movie premiere where we show the whole movie from beginning to end to the guests the first time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Start with a production plan listing what to film each day.
Edit footage down to 1 minute 15 to 1 minute 30 for inclusion in the movie.
Combine separate clips into daily segments for a 7-day cruise.
Use USB sticks for distribution instead of DVDs or Blu-rays.
