Tips for long form

Hi,
I am making a transition from short form (TV/Cinema spots mostly) to long form work (TV shows, documentaries, indy films).
I would appreciate any tips, pitfalls, techniques, technical considerations, etc. that people would like to share.
Thanks,
scottyG

As with most projects, dialogue is key. Especially for non-fiction documentary style programs. (National Geographic, Discovery, etc.) I would recommend adhering to their deliverables specs COMPLETELY. They have no qualms about sending a program back for one or two peaks over their spec.

When it comes down to it, there isn't that much of a difference between short and long form for TV. The producers usually want everything loud (even if it shouldn't be).

Get ready to hear a lot of whooshes.
