System And Method For Web Based Collaboration Using Digital Media

Abstract

A system and method configured to allow production team members to view, organize and manage production of a motion picture. The system and method allows the production team members to organize the project script; extract the script into scenes and slates; view, organize, select and collaborate on uploaded digital media and takes for each scene as well as uploaded audio, music or special effects that are to be applied to the product. The system tracks versions of the project by monitoring each change as well. The system also allows production member to organize project calendars, tasks associated with projects, contacts, notes, budgeting and other facets of the project. The system incorporates security measures which allow certain members of the production team to only have access to designated high-security material.

1 . A method to provide a user-interface for an organizer tool implemented on a system to organize a script comprising:
 at a server:
 transmitting a first set of data for displaying on a computer terminal one or more content bins; 
 receiving from said computer terminal a request to select one of said one or more content bins; and 
 in response to said request from said computer terminal to select said one of said one or more content bins, transmitting a second set of data for displaying on said computer terminal one or more scene tabs associated with said one of said one or more content bins. 
   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  further comprising:
 receiving from said computer terminal a request to select one of said one or more scene tabs; and 
 in response to said request from said computer terminal to select one of said one or more scene tabs, transmitting a third set of data for displaying on said computer terminal one or more slates associated with said selected one of said one or more scene tabs. 
 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2  further comprising:
 receiving a request from said computer terminal to change a location of said one of said one or more scene tabs from a first displayed location; and 
 in response to said request from said computer terminal to change said location of said one of said one or more scene tabs, updating said location to a second displayed location. 
 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said computer terminal is a mobile device. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein said mobile device is a mobile phone. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 3  further comprising:
 transmitting a fourth set of data for displaying on said computer terminal an indication that said one or more scene tabs was previously located at said first displayed location. 
 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein said indication is a note. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein said one or more bins are configured to link to one or more stored media content files. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein transmitting said first set of data for displaying on said computer terminal said one or more content bins includes transmitting data for displaying said one or more content bins in a tree configuration. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 9 , wherein updating said location to said second displayed location includes updating data that defines how said tree configuration is displayed on said computer terminal.
