Location Management...
streamlines timekeeping, payroll
processing, equipment tracking, and positioning of people
and equipment, creating workflow efficiencies and real-time
financial updates. Location shoot set-up is simplified
based on the director’s ability to view the positioning
of all location variables, and centralized control of
the repositioning of cameras and props from the director’s
laptop.

Business
Problem: Location shoots include lots of people,
activities, and equipment that are interdependent to
the successful completion of film footage. Missing people
or misplaced equipment slows progress. Problems may
not be immediately visible and corrective action is
often delayed until the director can evaluate options,
which is a manual process of moving around the location
shoot. Camera and prop readjustments can take hours.
Timekeeping is a manual process with inherent delays
to payroll processing and financial accounting of payroll
expenses.
