I recently joined this forum a few weeks ago and have been looking for projects to try a new scheduling method we've created. Long story short, I currently work for a scheduling consulting firm here in Atlanta, GA and we've been working on a new way to schedule film productions. Since we're in...

Wow I'm very appreciative of all the input I've gotten for this question, and I'll try to answer the follow-up questions as best I can. I'm still new to this forum so the best I can currently do is address each user in their own line: sfoster - My current consulting role is about 50% in-person...

I currently do scheduling consulting for large construction projects, and am wanting to transition into overall scheduling and management of film productions. From what I've been able to research, scheduling is pretty limited to the shooting schedule, so my aim is to create an overall/master...

All great info, and much appreciated. The one caveat I failed to previously mention is I was trying to get this base knowledge while keeping my current consulting role. The class is offered at night, which would allow this to happen. I'd love to just go straight into hands-on learning helping on...

The online workshop I was looking at is $1,800 plus the cost of movie magic budget and scheduling ($150 each) for a total of $2,100, and the course is 15 weeks long. Definitely not looking at a full program that $40,000k or anything, or moving there and having to pay for housing and living...

Awesome, thanks for the info!

I've seen Movie Magic and Gorilla 6 scheduling (it seems these are the two main ones) and have been testing out one from StudioBinder since its much cheaper, but yes these basically provide the stripboard in a digital format with the colors and everything. I still haven't seen where/how...

Well to try and make a long story short, I currently work as a scheduling consultant in the real estate/construction industry. For the past year, I've been looking at ways we can use our methods in the film industry to make things more efficient (and save time). Hopefully this isn't offensive...

This may not be the right thread for this question (or I should probably start a new one?) but what's the best way to research how productions are currently scheduled? From what I've been able to research, the main document is the Shooting Schedule, but this only pertains to the Production (and...

My name's Russell and I'm pretty new to forums and film making in general. Hoping to learn more about the parts and pieces that go into the production and try out some new scheduling methods I've created.
