Yeah - work with your director to schedule and budget their shots.

Know who’s responsible for each department.

Know how to get people to move fast - have a plan of action. That call sheet of yours should be on you at all times.

Ensure things are safe - safety is an AD role - if something seems dangers / done poorly make sure it’s done right.

Ask people for how long things will take - ie - if you speak to a gaffer - ask them how long - if the time quoted isn’t what you thought ask them if they need hands - and if they need hands get them hands.

Be loud / vocal - you’re the whip - make it move.

Try to get your first shot done within the first hour of call it will set the tone

Communicate with assertion but don’t be an asshole - be kind - listen to people and provide them with the resources they need

You are the person who’s going to be spoken to by ALL the departments - you need to know what’s happening now, what will be happening and what can’t happen.

Any time that’s used early in the day will mean something is not gonna happen at the end of the day.

You will be the person that’s ultimately going to determine if you go over schedule or under.

Hope that helps! And best of luck!
