Yes, at any one time during the production phase, there may be one main team working on the movie. Maybe it’s even a smaller project with a close-knit and talented team. Sooner or later, however, there could be many teams working on a project together. Asset tracking can do so much to help out with teamwork. Find out how below!
One team made sound, one team was in charge of lights, one team filmed, more than one team edited, one team pointed everyone in the right direction, one team found the directions, and one team wrote. There’s such a wide array of things to do to create something magical, musical, and enticing on screen.
It may seem impossible to keep track of everything, but with careful planning, tight communication, and great delegation skills, it is possible. There are ways of making this easier, however, such as using asset tracking.

Especially when those at the top, delegating and hiring, can also see and track the same assets.
