Summary: NLE Production Soup-to-Nuts!
Review: A friend wrote to me: "A couple of months ago, I purchased a book entitled, The Digital Producer, by Curtis Poole and published by Focal Press. It is aimed toward Avid users, in particular, but broadly usable by any non-linear system owner. One of the key features of the book is a system, provided on CD-ROM, for logging, storyboarding, scripting and a wealth of functions in production. It is the most comprehensive system of its kind I have yet seen and its strongest feature is that it works the way we work, not like some computer analyst who thinks he/she knows something about production." I wrote back: "This program automatically does what I've been asking about (storyboarding). In its storyboarding feature, you can input an image file. I've imported a .bmp and it resizes it for me and places it on the page. Then you select another view of the page and it gives you the same image but larger size with any narration in the column next to it. These can be printed out and pasted around and . . . it's hard to contain my enthusiasm for this thing. Since you have it already you know all of this but, I'm blown away! Blown away!" I can not say enough about this book/CD/and FileMaker template collection. If you can not organize your production with this package, you can not organize a production. It has shaved months off of my production schedule. Thanks for the great work!
