4. Is Risk Defined? Who Covers It?
Finance Driver - Passion Your Idea + Your Money = Hobby

5. De-Risking is the way to Financing
Your Idea + FI Money = Business Finance Driver – Risk/Return

7.  Concept & Expression should be within a
defined and de-risked environment
 De-risking is all about Risk Mitigation and
NOT zero-risk (zero-risk = zero-return)
 Team Work is a major element in de-risking –
carry people along for high synergy
 Plan your shots to fit the time frame – Saves
time and reduces resource wastage
 Judicious mix of Expression & Risk is key to
success

Switch gears to gain momentum - Flexibility
Cruise with ease – Review of Dailies
Balance Load – Mix of Pre & Post Production
Track distance covered - Duration
F-1 is Team Work - Relationships
Shed EGO - gain Synergy
Manage Tension for Smooth Ride - Composure
