CrewDesk

CrewDesk/Who it's for/Event and live video

Production management for event and live videoDoors at seven. Everything else works backwards.

Conferences, concerts, galas and live streams share one rule: the start time does not move. CrewDesk helps the crew that films them plan backwards from that moment.

One click, no account. The demo is filled with sample productions and rebuilt every day.

The situation

Three events this week in three venues. Each has a load-in window, a technical contact, a power situation and a list of gear that must arrive complete, because there is no going back to the shop at 6:45.

What CrewDesk changes

  • Each event is a production with its venue, contacts and schedule.
  • Calendar events for load-in, rehearsal, show and strike, visible to the crew assigned.
  • An equipment list per event, built from the shared inventory, so the crew packs from one list.
  • Checklists from templates: venue visit, internet test, backup recording, spare batteries.
  • The run-of-show attached to the project, the same version for everyone.

After the show

Strike is where gear disappears. Counting cases against the list before the truck leaves, and noting what came back damaged, protects next week's event. Edits and highlight reels then continue in the same production until delivery.

Make it yours

Live crews ask for crew confirmations by text message, per-event packing lists that can be scanned, and venue records that remember what went wrong last time. TECHMA adds these in a custom build.

Questions

Asked before the first call

Is CrewDesk a live streaming tool?

No. It organizes the people, dates and equipment around the event. Streaming and switching stay in your production tools.

Can we keep information about venues?

Yes, in the notes and documents of each production. A dedicated venue database is a simple custom addition.

Does it work on a phone during load-in?

Yes. The phone layout gives quick access to tasks, contacts and the calendar.
