a producer does all the schedualing, dealing with the client.. filtering things before it gets to the art director and designers. they keep everyting on point and on schedual.. and if they are working in LA they most likely are on th ephone non stop with disney, paramount and all those other fucks moaning about something. they also try to head off any problems with going over budget... recording and tracking hours... and estimating and billing change orders as the project rolls forward. they also organize creative meetings and all around baby everyone and make sure everythign is ok. there's a lot of hand holding producers do and a ton of organization. most of the producers ive met never have time to eat and end up doing a lot of overtime to put out fires. i think it really depends on what kind of firm youre working for though. some places make the designers or art directors double as producers as well. but, this usually causes problems and eventually if the work is good -- would become too much for a designer to do both jobs.
