Ep 46: Award-Winning Colourist, Paul Harrison - What Really Happens in the Grade?
Sep 22, 202650 min
You think you know everything a colourist does... but I bet you don’t! Paul Harrison is one of the UK's leading and most decorated colourists, with nearly 30 years of experience. He is also the founder of Residence Pictures, a specialist picture-finishing facility for high-end film and television. In this episode, Paul takes TV Makers inside one of television’s most misunderstood roles, with break downs from Film Club , The Gallows Pole and Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue to reveal the invisible work behind the finished image. Paul explores how colourists can relight scenes, replace skies, create day-for-night shots, reshape costumes and use colour to guide an audience’s emotions. Paul also explains how decisions involving cameras, lenses, lighting and production design can either help or limit what is possible in the grade. Paul discusses the diplomacy required inside a grading suite, the growing role of AI and depth maps, and why aspiring colourists need to study art, photography and film alongside learning the software. In this episode: • Why applying a LUT is not the same as grading • What a colourist actually does • Why the grade should begin during pre-production • How colour influences emotion and storytelling • Breaking down Film Club , The Gallows Pole and Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue • Relighting, compositing, sky replacement and day-for-night • How cameras, lenses and lighting affect the finished image • Managing creative relationships inside the grading suite • How AI is changing the colourist’s toolkit • Paul’s advice for aspiring colourists Follow TV Makers on Instagram: @tvmakerspod Watch the full conversation and see the clips discussed throughout the episode on the TV Makers YouTube channel.

TV’s Digital Gold Rush? | Edinburgh TV Festival 2026
Sep 1, 202645 min
TV Makers is on the road at the Edinburgh TV Festival 2026. If there was one conversation everywhere this year, it was digital. YouTube, the creator economy, changing audiences, new ways of funding content... and what all of that means for traditional television and the people who make it. So for this special episode, Ashley Golder grabs a microphone and heads around the festival to take the temperature of TV in 2026. Featuring: Bella Roberts (Bella Does Editing) — on the creator economy and building an audience of more than half a million followers on Instagram alone. Kimberly Godbolt (Talented People) — on the mood across the industry, what’s changing and where television goes next. David Clews (Twofour) — on how one of the UK’s biggest production companies is responding to a changing industry. Jon Willers (The Development Network) — on building audiences, finding the money and why data might be more useful than vibes. JT (Action for Freelancers) — on what all of this change means for the people actually making the programmes. James & Soleta Rogan (Rogan Productions) — on navigating uncertainty, looking after filmmakers and why, whatever happens next, we need to keep making. From broadcasters and production companies to creators, new business models and freelancers, this is a snapshot of an industry in the middle of some pretty big changes — recorded from the floor of the Edinburgh TV Festival. A huge thank you to the Edinburgh TV Festival team for having TV Makers back again this year. TV Makers gets under the skin of what people across the television industry do and, most importantly, how they do it — so we can learn from their experience before taking those next steps ourselves.

Ep 44: Grenfell: Uncovered Director, Olaide Sadiq - Directing Her First Documentary to 2 BAFTAs
Aug 4, 20261h 1mS4
From the moment Olaide Sadiq was offered the job to winning two BAFTAs almost two years later, she shares what it really took - professionally and personally - to direct Grenfell: Uncovered . Just days before recording this episode, documentary director Olaide Sadiq won not one, but two BAFTAs for Grenfell: Uncovered - taking home Emerging Talent at the BAFTA Craft Awards and Best Single Documentary at the BAFTA Television Awards. The remarkable part? It was her very first documentary as a director . In this episode, Olaide joins obs doc director Ashley Golder to talk about making the leap from experienced producer to first-time director, overcoming imposter syndrome, and leading one of the UK's most significant documentaries for Netflix. Along the way, she shares the practical realities of directing at the highest level - from writing her first director's vision statement and creating beat sheets and look books, to building trust with contributors, developing a visual style, and leading a team through emotionally demanding material. No topic is off the table. Olaide is exceptionally humble and refreshingly honest about what she didn't know, what scared her, and what she learned along the way. In a world where everyone seems to have it all figured out, Olaide does the opposite - even revealing that she emailed the execs to say she didn't think she was ready for the job. We discuss: Winning two BAFTAs with a first directing credit Why she almost turned the opportunity down Pitching herself to direct for Netflix Writing a director's vision statement Creating beat sheets and look books Finding your directing style Building trust with contributors Directing one of the UK's most sensitive documentaries Working with Netflix and the support that shaped her journey Managing imposter syndrome and self-doubt What she's learned that she's taking into her next documentary Whether you're looking to direct your first film, step up into a directing role, or simply want to understand how award-winning documentaries are made, this episode is packed with practical advice, honest reflections and reassurance that even the best directors don't always feel ready.

Episode #43
Ep 43 - Part 2: Editorial Content Lawyer, Clare Hoban - The Legal Questions Everyone Should Ask!
Jul 21, 202643 minS5
If Part 1 answered many of the questions we've all quietly wondered about... Part 2 goes even deeper. What happens when legal, ethics and editorial judgement collide? Can a contributor really withdraw consent? What should you do if someone threatens self-harm to stop a programme being broadcast? Can the police confiscate your camera or rushes when on location? And what actually happens when a production lands in crisis? Joining TV Makers once again is Clare Hoban , Co-CEO of Reviewed & Cleared and an editorial content lawyer with years of experience advising television productions through some of their most complex legal and editorial challenges. In this second part of our conversation, Clare shares real-world examples and tackles some of the more nuanced situations that production teams face, from duty of care and ongoing consent to crisis management, GDPR, contributor rights and the legal realities of filming in public. As with Part 1, many of the answers challenge long-held industry assumptions and highlight why understanding the law properly gives productions far more confidence than relying on TV folklore. Please note: This interview was recorded earlier in 2026. Whilst we've done our best to keep everything up to date, this episode should not be taken as legal advice. Laws, regulations and guidance change, and every production is different. If you need advice on a specific situation, please contact Clare and the team at Reviewed & Cleared.

Episode #3
Ep 43 - Part 1: Editorial Content Lawyer, Clare Hoban - The Legal Questions Everyone Should Ask!
Jul 14, 202646 minS5
Have you ever caught yourself thinking… “Could I go to jail if we get this wrong?” “Can we legally film this?” “Can we broadcast that without permission?” “What happens if someone withdraws consent?” If so, this episode is for you. Joining TV Makers is Clare Hoban, Co-CEO of Reviewed & Cleared and an editorial content lawyer with years of experience in the TV and content world and she was generous (and patient!) enough to sit down with Ashley Golder and get asked all the questions we’ve always wondered the answers to but either never had the opportunity to ask, or dare we say it…never wanted to look foolish in asking ourselves? The answers might even surprise you! One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that television can often do far more than people realise - as long as you understand where the legal, editorial and compliance boundaries actually sit. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Part 2 will be released next week instead of the usual 2 week gap, where we tackle even more real-world scenarios and answer more of the questions you’ve always wanted to ask a TV lawyer. Make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss it. Please note: This interview was recorded earlier in 2026. Whilst we’ve done our best to keep everything up to date, this episode should not be taken as legal advice. Laws, regulations and guidance change, and every production is different.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
