On-set production, also known as principal photography, is the phase of producing a film or television show following pre-production and preceding post-production, where the majority of shooting occurs. This is the stage where actors are on set, lights are positioned, call sheets are distributed, and cameras are ready to begin filming. On-set production can take place in a studio or at an actual location, and takes anywhere from a few days to a few months depending on the scale of the project.
On-set production teams rely on a variety of tools to streamline the production process and facilitate effective collaboration across team members. Production management software plays a key role by fostering team communication, and efficiently coordinating workflows and tasks. Asset management capabilities allow studios to organize and easily access video footage, audio files, and graphics. Real-time review solutions stream footage and metadata to the cloud, allowing crews and stakeholders to collaborate across sets and locations.
One notably popular software used in digital filmmaking today is Flow Capture. This powerful cloud-based solution facilitates asset management, creative review, and cloud collaboration, contributing to a more streamlined film production process. Beyond enhancing efficiency in the creative process, Flow Capture also prioritizes security with features such as watermarking, MPAA compliance, and comprehensive digital rights management.
With Autodesk Flow Capture, on-set production teams can shorten timeframes by engaging with postproduction teams in real time. On-set teams can stream live feeds from set securely with key stakeholders anywhere inside the postproduction pipeline. This allows postproduction teams to review footage, provide feedback, flag concerns, and even start visual effects work before a film shoot has wrapped.
Film and TV production involves a large volume of media assets, including video footage, audio files, and graphics. Production management solutions help organize and manage these assets, making it easier for teams to find the materials they need. It also assists with effective resource planning and facilitates collaboration among team members, even when spread across different continents and time zones.
