hey there, script supervisor here

[tressamae]

Hi all!

Just wanted to make a quick introduction. I just finished training as a script supervisor (both traditional and digital) and am in the process of building my resume in the NYC/tri-state area.

Nice to meet you all!

What's the difference between a digital & traditional screen supervisor?

One's got a computer?

Haha pretty much. However, there it seems that people are very opinionated about one side or the other. (almost as much as mac vs windows)
There are pros and cons to both sides.

The main are:
Traditional (writing and lining everything in the script by hand, writing all notes by hand, usually in a binder):
pro: one can work in any condition, and there will be no technical malfunctions.
con: everything needs to be typed up at the end of each day to send to various people that need it all.

Digital (usually using ScriptE and Final Draft):
pro: any bit of info that you could possibly need can be found in an instant, and can be sent to anyone immediately.
con: obviously the possibility of technical malfunctions are greater, but if there are multiple backup systems, it works.

Thank you for asking!
