At the simplest level, it includes the provision of any of the services or equipment listed here, but ideally it involves a more holistic approach. One of the problems with traditional production methods was the narrow demarcation of individual jobs, particularly between shooting and post-production. Cameramen and Sound Recordists, however skilled, rarely had to edit their own material. Post-production workers rarely went on location. This can leave editors moaning about the quality of material supplied, and location crews thinking that editors are not making the best use of what they've been given.

The one thing that nearly everyone can agree on is the need for planning, and that the majority of production problems come from the lack of it. My concept of Production Support is that it should start as early in the production process as possible, and continue through for as far as possible.
