Stage Write - an iPad app for idiots, by idiots
Kristine:
Im shocked nobody has mentioned this yet!!
hxxp://stage**********.com/index.html
An iPad app made specifically for blocking for use of SMs, directors and choreographers. No news on a price but it's released on March 1 st. I, for one, am crazy excited about this!!!
(I'm not related with the company at all so no attempts to sell here. Just excited!)
EDIT: Link mangled and removed, topic changed. Promoters spammed SMNetwork further down the thread, pretending to be legitimate users. We have no interest in working with or purchasing products from companies that use dishonest marketing tactics. - PSMK
MatthewShiner:
I am interested to see it in action - how it ties in with the script, etc.
I am also worried about the time it takes to actually take down - I don't mean to be an old fuddy duddy about - it looks great for planning, not sure how quickly take the notation.
What's good about Pencil and Paper is the stage manager can take down the information in any order they want, and make the judgement about what is important.
Anything that is "automated" will require you (most likely) to do steps a,b and c everytime. (Select character, place character, note start point, note end point). So, I think the proof will be in the end result.
LizzG:
I agree Matthew.
It's functions look really cool, but I think that every time I had to go into a menu to select a new character (as it appears that you do), I would loose so much valuable information...I would still love to try it out!
MatthewShiner:
I think this would be great to document a show for a long run .... Like, hey the show is open, let's get this all down for the next cast.
Then, I think this would work.
And that maybe it's target market. I too look forward to try it out.
babens:
It definitely looks useful for potential long term documentation/archival preparation. Provided it is a reasonable price I may check it out for this spring (six months on the road with Theatreworks, I'm going to have nothing but time on my hands).
