Welcome to the twenty second episode of the Speed Bumps Podcast. When working on smaller budget shows, the crew always wants to be working on the big budget shows but I'm here to tell you that regardless of the show's budget you're working on, the expectations of you and your team are the same. I'll discuss this in our first section and in the second, we'll discuss what the key test is and how it's useful.
