This is an entire system to help you organize your approach to a
project. This works with the popular Palm OS database program
HanDBase.
The central hub of the system is a file called Cinebase.pdb. This
is the file which accumulates info from your camera assistant
(Camerabase.pdb) and your gaffer (Lightingbase.pdb) The general
approach is that you breakdown the show with Breakdownbase.pdb.
Then you give these other files to your gaffer and camera assistant and
at the end of each day you receive the info collecteb by them. At
the end of each day you now have a good solid summary of the work
done. You can sort and search this info as you continue to shoot
your film. There are various pop up menus to speed up the entry
of info (Filmpop.pdb, Cameraeqpop.pdb, Primepop.pdb, Zoompop.pdb). These will
need to be updated from time to time. They are just provided as a
guide.
All of this can be modified to suit your needs of course. If you
have any questions about this system feel free to contact me.
If you have suggestions for changes, this is a good way to use the blog.
This is the first of two sets of files.
