This is the Production Office folders I use when I start every production. It’s nothing more and nothing less than a collection of folders in a specific order, but it makes life SO MUCH easier to have this set up on day one, so that my entire team knows right away where to file and find important files that we’ll need to keep track of. I personally love using Dropbox to share my production folders with my production office team. And it’s very important to me that all the production files are well organized and easy to access when we’re in the middle of the chaos on set. You can use this however you like, but this is my recommendation to start you off:
- Replace “Title” with your production title;
- Go through the folders one by one and delete any folders you feel are not relevant to you;
- Drag and drop it to your Dropbox folder;
- Share this folder with your Producers, Production Manager, Production Coordinator, and 2nd AD (don’t share this folder with anyone who you don’t want to have access to sensitive documents that only your Production Office Team should have)
