Zack demonstrates the power of creating workflow checklists for your Trello post-production workflow. Creating checklists for repetitive tasks is very important in a hectic post-production environment because it allows you to outsource the thought process and quickly perform repetitive tasks over and over while leaving room in your brain to focus on creative tasks.
- After laying out your general guidelines…and then mapping out your delivery schedule,…my next recommendation is to create checklists…for any repeated actions that you're going to do…throughout the course of your project.…It's best to map out the various steps of your workflow…at the beginning of your project…so that when things get crazy…and you're working in the heat of the moment,…you don't have to stress out…wondering what steps you've missed.…If everything is in a checklist,…you can essentially outsource the steps…and just follow them mindlessly…without stress inhibiting your memory.…
So the place to start…is creating a new card that I call…New Episode Checklists and Templates.…I'm just going to put this at the top.…And what I'm going to do is start creating…my various workflow checklists.…So in a previous lesson I showed you…how to attach documents.…And one more time, I'm going to attach…this Avid Workflow Guide…that we have for one of our episodes,…just so I have the document right here.…
But where it's going to get really cool…
