What's the difference between these types of producers?.....
Associate Producer
Co-Producer
Consulting Producer
Executive Producer: In major productions, usually a representative, if not the CEO, of a motion picture production company that is producing a film, although the title may be given as an honorarium to a major investor. Often oversees the financial, administrative, and creative aspects of production, though not technical aspects. In smaller companies or independent projects, may be synonymous with Creator/Writer.
Producer: the "classic" definition of producer who typically has the greatest involvement and oversight among a film's various producers. In smaller companies or independent projects, may be the equivalent of the Executive Producer.
Co-Producer: A producer who generally reports to the (Executive) Producer and is more involved in the day-to-day production. In independent projects, the title connotes an involvement in the inception of the production.
Associate Producer: Usually acts as a representative of the Producer, who may share financial, creative, or administrative responsibilities, delegated from that producer. Often, a title granted as a courtesy or to one who made a major financial or creative contribution to the production.
Production Director: A representative of the motion picture production company assigned to the set and given the authority to act in behalf of the senior production team members.
Line Producer: Oversees a film's budget and day-to-day activities
Production supervisor : Usually performs managerial duties on one aspect of the production.
Production manager
Thats all from Wikipedia. As for a consulting producer, I think that tends to be a TV thing, and they are basically high level writers who contribute to the show but haven't been given one of the major titles
Hope this helps
