Computerizing Running Crew
« on: Mar 06, 2014, 01:27 pm »
We are looking to organize our running crew way more then what it is now (which is nothing really). We are looking to use more technology like things to be more fluent with scene changes, jobs, set up etc. What ideas do you guys have?

Hi Flychief,
Welcome to SMNetwork. I would encourage you to head over to the Introductions page and post an intro, so that we can get to know you.

It's great that you want to create more organization so that your crew can work more smoothly and efficiently. Take a look around the site- there are many, many posts that would be helpful on this subject. I'm not sure what kind of technology you are talking about- digital versions of paperwork, new and improved headset systems, other forms of technology? Technology in general is a pretty broad topic for this forum.

Here's my suggestion: Take a look at the Uploaded Forms board for examples of how other stage managers use paperwork to keep the show running efficiently. There's a Tools of the Trade board that has tons of info on tools (including technology) that SMs use. Since your profile indicates that you are in high school, I would also recommend the Students and Novices board, which has great advice from and by students.

In the meantime, I'm locking this thread off. Once you've had a look around and explored the info on the board, I suggest you repost a more specific question. (There's also a search bar in the upper right-hand corner of the page.)

Best,

Maribeth
