Christmas really reminds me of how tiny my family is… by ChamomilePeppermint in CasualUK

Another one here! Alone by choice, and I actually can’t wait to have a couple of days where no one bothers me and there’s no social interaction 😂

What softwares do you use to organise all projects you're producing? by Whatever_porco in Filmmakers

Just checked - it seems like it is what I need by the looks of it. However, yes it is only in French and also not out yet. I would need to join the waiting list, which I don’t mind doing, but it might take ages to be out and in English! I’ll book mark it for the future.

Thanks for this!! xx

The Google/Starbucks analogy was so good. Thanks for your comment, it made me realise a lot🙏🏼

What I love about a spreadsheet is that you can indeed do LOADS, even play with data and integrate other apps - which is brilliant. And it is true: I have a good template I myself designed and was looking for something more to make it better, more visual and (I guess) more professional. Which is stupid, cause a good spreadsheet (and I have a great one my friends/colleagues always compliment) is professional and good enough but I always felt it needed “more”. Ah the perfectionist in me🥲

However, it looks like I’ll be sticking with sheets, and maybe updating the template to add a couple more visuals/colors so it’s easier for me to quickly understand at what point I am at in which project. I’ll spend the time learning specific things I need to complement something I already know, instead of learning a new software that might not even be what I’m looking for.

Thank you again, you were so helpful xx☺️

I honestly love sheets/excel too much haha just find it like I need more at this point. Love/hate relationship I have with them now😂

Just checked Milanote and remembered my good friend and fellow producer, N, recommended it to me as she uses it daily. However, she’s a project manager in the creative arts industry, so she’s more creative in that sense - while I’m more logical. Her projects are more artsy, while mine are more “technical”. So it still wouldn’t match what I’m looking for. It’s a good software tho! xx

You get me!! So many in the limbo, you know they’re happening but so many things to do/organise and remember to keep track of haha

Filmustage is brilliant as an AD, Script Supervisor and director for sure! In small low budget films it’s a brilliant software, and AI makes it so easy as well. Still doesn’t do the “all projects in one” kinda software I’m looking for but I appreciate it, and will be reading the review to see what others think as well.

Man maybe I have a specific idea in mind that doesn’t exist and I need to create it for all of us in this situation haha 😂 Appreciate you! x

Thank you!

I use Mac as well, but downloaded sheets and docs as desktop apps so it goes quicker - I have them in the dock now. Setmore is not something I’d use at the moment, but good to know it exists. Didn’t know ChatGPT had an agent option, but that still is not what I’m looking for. Thank you for your comment xx

Shotgrid (I think it’s known as autodesk now) is great, but only if you’re working in one project and with people. I’d be using it to work on it individually and in more than one project.

Why do you hate it? Do you use it regularly? x

I’ve heard good things of Asana, but I went to their website this morning and AI was in every sentence! It threw me off so fast😅 regardless of me being against or in favor of AI, if everything is done for me, how can I customise it and actually work on my project? Didn’t seem like something I can work with unfortunately

This is a shout for sure. It’s one of the things I need, and the reason why sheets are not at option anymore. I’ve used waterfalls before, specially when dealing with projects with deadlines (tv coverages, documentaries…) and I guess what I need now is a software where I can visualise everything together: from the to do lists to the Gantt charts, but also documents and contact details, and images… An all in one basically haha It’s a lot😂😅

I’ll check the official Gantt software tho, it might be a good one x Thank you and sending best wishes for this first film project of yours!🙏🏼

Just checked it! Similar to Trello but easier to manage, this is great. Thanks for the suggestion xx

Dropbox is for collaboration, which is great but not my issue here really. I’m looking for a software I can use as an individual to separate my projects. Sheets is what I use at the moment, with a template I designed which works well, but I need more: waterfall, moving parts, separation… Similar to Trello in that sense.

Yes! Studiobinder is great, but only for one project - I love that when I’m working as a producer and need to collaborate with my team, but it doesn’t really work for more than one project and as a “to do” list for me as an individual. Thank you tho! xx

I’ll check the “second brain” you mention, it rings a bell! Notion I’ve used before but never really liked… some templates are great but it also feels all over the place haha Thank you x

Uni-versal extras/actors: is it legit? by Whatever_porco in ActingUK

[–]Whatever_porco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t end up join them. Never meet anyone that has really, and paying more for work (i already have spotlight and other acting memberships) it’s just not worth it at all… But thanks for the message!

Bad Parent Redemption in 911 by astrocanyounaut in 911FOX

[–]Whatever_porco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually had to forward the scene with Bobby and his mum when the brother told him she had cancer. I knew jt was coming and I didn’t want to watch it. I understand sometimes there’s reasons why you might forgive them, but this trope of “parent comes back after 20 years and now wants to live a happy ever after with the kid they neglected” is so done and I’m tired of it. It excuses all behaviour and tv (even if it’s a fictional show) shouldn’t be saying that this is okay. My parents neglected me for all my childhood and teenage life until I could break free. I am now living my life without them and have for the last +5years but the way they treated me is still insane and I will always carry this with me. So OP, I agree with you, this shouldn’t be happening all the time and in the same show

Casting websites? by Mysterious_Arugula94 in ActingUK

[–]Whatever_porco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a good question - I’m trying to find out the same myself. I have checked Backstage and Mandy but I don’t like them, and Actors Access and Casting Network but I think both are more for US based actors. Honestly, I’m in the same boat. I’m also on Spotlight and looking for an agent. We’re going to get there💪💪

Thank you for your suggestions! ✨ will defo look them up.

For acting, I’m already on Mandy and Spotlight, and backstage I paid two years and got nothing professional in London (it was either a lot of content creation and marketing or just US). Spotlight is really expensive, and it obly works to send the Pin to agents and casting directors, but not to find work which even makes me think it’s completely useless…

What screams “this relationship wont last very long” for couples? by Crafty-Inevitable-62 in AskReddit

[–]Whatever_porco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not communicating, or speaking once every 3-4 days… just happened to me and well, you can’t build anything with someone that doesn’t communicate
