Capture Day 01
›Director's reminders
- No memorizing. Feed her one line at a time so she never holds a full script on camera.
- Short takes, 5 to 10 seconds. As many as it takes. Editing hides the reps.
- B-roll carries half. Voiceover gets recorded separately at the end, relaxed and off camera.
- Roll the whole time. The best candids happen before she thinks we are filming.
- One voice on set: the director. Everyone else stays quiet so she is not performing for a crowd.
TM gear and props
Rebecca brings
Cast and confirmations
›If we run behind
- Never cut, the brand: Bring Me Your Challenges, Handyman Save, Clear CO, 10 PM Jump-Up.
- Compress to a single setup: The Phone Call, The 6 PM Deadline.
- Safe, low effort, survives anything: Listing Prep.
- Keeps in if the cast is ready: Childcare Save (depends on the kids and the dad).
The shoot, in order
Eight reels, shoot order. Tap each shot as you get it. A reel marks itself in the can when every shot is checked, and collapses to keep the set focused on what is left.
The Handyman Save
An hour before closing, the walk-through turns up a leak and a dead fireplace. I don't flinch. I make two calls. By the time we are at the table, it is handled.
Shots, tap each as you get it
On screen
“An hour to closing.” Then later, “Handled.”
Needs
Handyman, his truck, his tools. Bucket and spray bottle (TM brings). A sink and the fireplace on site. Appearance release for the handyman on the day.
Bring Me Your Challenges
You've got a house that doesn't fit your family anymore. Too big, too small, whatever the reason. But here's the catch. You have to sell your current home before you can buy the one that actually fits.
And everyone's telling you the market is crazy, so how could you possibly pull that off right now?
Here's the good news. You've got options. The big one is a suitable housing contingency. Here's how it works. We get your house listed. We get it under contract, with the buyer agreeing up front that you need flexibility to find your next home before you settle on this one.
Sounds a lot less stressful, right?
I'm here to help you navigate this path, and plenty of others, built around your exact situation. You bring me your challenges, I'll bring you solutions.

The Phone Call
Your side, calm and clear, as you make the case on the phone.
Then on speaker, the voice delivering the yes: “Congratulations, your offer was accepted. It came down to how you presented it.”

The Clear CO
My clients had already moved out of state. The inspection wanted alarms, detectors, an HVAC service. I handled every item and sent back a clear certificate.
