Zack demonstrates his best practices for tracking and recording your notes for your Trello post-production workflow. In post-production you receive a lot of notes from a lot of different sources, and Trello is a powerful tool that allows you to track all of your notes in one place whether you receive them via email, documents, or even hand written notes.
- In my never ending quest…to make as much of a work flow digital as possible,…the one area I always hit a road block was notes.…Notes come from all different places:…directors, producers, clients, studio executives, vendors,…even the janitor.…And everybody uses a different system.…Some people hand you paper, some give you verbal notes,…some will send you emails,…and some even organize their notes…in super complicated spreadsheets.…It wasn't until I discovered Trello…that I was able to finally go 100 percent paperless…and eliminate my need to keep track of notes on paper.…
So starting here at our Trello homescreen,…what I have done in advance of this lesson…is I have created a card that would replicate an email…that you might forward from a producer that has Notes.…And if you're unfamiliar…with how to forward your emails to your boards,…this is something I demonstrated in a previous lesson.…So I forwarded this to your first board…so you can see that I now have a card…that's called Producer's cut notes.…But I don't want this to be on my first board.…
