software How is technology changing the landscape of film production management?

As someone working at the intersection of technology and film production, I've been fascinated by the rapid changes in how productions are managed. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this topic.

In recent years, we've seen a shift from traditional methods to more tech-driven approaches. Some key areas I've noticed:

  1. Cloud-based collaboration: Real-time script editing, storyboarding, and asset sharing across teams.
  2. AI-assisted scheduling: Algorithms helping to optimize shooting schedules and resource allocation.
  3. Virtual production: The rise of tools integrating pre-production, production, and post-production phases.
  4. Budget tracking: More sophisticated software for real-time budget management and forecasting.
  5. Asset management: Digital systems for organizing and tracking props, locations, and equipment.
  6. Remote work tools: Enabling distributed teams to work effectively, especially post-pandemic.
What changes have you experienced in your own work? Are there any pain points that technology hasn't addressed yet? Or perhaps areas where you feel technology might be complicating things unnecessarily?

I'm particularly curious about how smaller productions and indie filmmakers are adapting to these changes. Are these tools accessible and beneficial to you, or do they feel more geared toward larger productions?
