Ein producer ist zumächst mal eine Person.
Eine production ist dann eine Bezeichnung, für das, was er tut bzw. seine Firma.
(okay ??) :-)

Und wenn man beides als "skills" versteht?

Also es dreht sich bei beiden Begriffen doch eigentlich letztlich um die selbe Fertigkeit, oder nicht!? :-)

Na wenn Du meinst...
Ich vermutete, dass es kleine/feine Unterschiede gibt (wie ursprünglich angedeutet).

The metes and bounds of those two descriptions are nebulous at best.

In my experience, people who work on the production of movies - anyone who works in the production, from the lowliest PA (production assistant) through the grips, editors, actors, cameramen and such - all work in "film production".

A producer - will be a person who has more oversight over the production. Depending on how sophisticated the production is, a producer might be an independent producer who does everything from writing, casting, camera, editing and trying to sell the production. For a large production, only the very high-up money men or managers are called producers.

A video producer - might be someone who works coordinating video segments for a local news show, or who works for a wedding video production company coordinating, shooting, editing and such, or who oversees the production of commercial advertising bits.

Someone who lists, "video production" experience - might mean that they were an assistant editor or a lowly PA or 'script girl' or continuity assistant - or they might be the production manager or cinematographer or executive producer of something bigger.

Really, the important stuff is in the details - more than the titles. Hopefully these people will have listed some specific details describing their experience.

Many thanks!

Nein, stimmt nicht. Auch bzw. gerade der "hands-on producer" wird "Producer" genannt. Leute, die Geld geben oder in der Hackordnung weit oben stehen, kriegen eine Nennung als "Executive Producer" ;-)

Was ist dann der Unterschied zwischen dem video producer und dem video director?

Der Regisseur ist für die künstlerische Umsetzung verantwortlich, der Produzent für die wirtschaftliche, technische und personelle Organisation der Produktion.
