Although every aspect of digital video production is important, none can save you more time and money than preparation. Being prepared, whether with technical know-how or physical tools, enables you to calmly deal with the real problems that inevitably occur. Throughout the various stages of producing a project, you should be prepared for a stage before you reach it.

Always keep in mind the project as a whole, from preproduction to delivery, as opposed to seeing a bunch of separate little projects that come together in the end. Anything you do during a project affects it from that point forward, and if you make a mistake, it carries through and continues to cause you problems until it is fixed.
