En soydeMac We have spoken to you several times about applications that relate cinema to Apple's computing platform, A few months ago we brought you a software proposal prepared to generate quite interesting special effects. And in the end you work with Mac computers precisely because of their reliability, and because audiovisual production needs reliable machines.
We have talked about post-production software such as the VFX theme or even the mere assembly in tools like Final Cut or Avid (or iMovie targeting a much more amateur audience), but the reality is that we can start production (understanding it as a pre-production process) using software that works perfectly on our Mac's and the truth is that they do their job quite well. Let's focus on Celtx, a tool with which we can design our entire pre-production process.
Celtx is conceived as a scriptwriter toolbut the truth is that has grown to facilitate the work of the production manager and assistant director.
In the case of use for scripting, Celtx allows us to apply the standard format while we write. With just the use of the tab, we will be marking if we are writing the name of a character, an action, a dimension, or the character's own dialogue. This is done in a very simple way since as we are introducing characters in our project, we can then select them without having to rewrite them.
In addition we can see the amount of text corresponding to each character to develop our shooting plans.
We were talking about other figures within a shoot (production director and assistant director) because we can do our work plan with the agenda that the program itself has. With it, we can mark what is done each day and we can even print the entire calendar to provide it to our entire team.
Keep in mind that Celtx is not so complete in this sense as, which would be the pre-production tool par excellence, Movie Magic Scheduling, but it can get us out of a hurry (if we also need a free tool).
Another figure who can work directly with the Celtx project is the project manager, since with the script at hand he could make a storyboard to illustrate the type of plane you want from each sequence. Something really useful.
And from a production point of view, it can also be interesting as In the agenda itself we can also write down the entire human team that works on the project. As an agenda, we can include the Contact information of the entire technical-artistic team, and even do some sort of script breakdown (what is missing in each scene).
Una Quite interesting tool if you want to plan an audiovisual project that will help you to emerge the least possible setbacks. Celtx is price quotation and you can download directly from its official website.
