I've tried to to switch over to using the iPad instead of carrying a clipboard/notepad--- but I just can't do it. If a director hands me a scribbled out plan of attach for the day I want a clipboard to attach it to. I also just like to have a printed out copy of the day's schedule to scribble notes on-- and a notepad app like Penultimate is just not as easy to use as a pencil and a pad of paper. That being said, I love my iPad am am spoiled by the convenience of having a PDF version of the script, score, all draftings and drawings, sound effect files, archive videos, cast recordings, dramaturgical research, web links, etc-- as well as electronic copies of all my paperwork to be at my fingertips.
So I find myself carrying around my clipboard and my iPad and kind of juggling them. Searching for a solution to this problem I found this web site:
