TV station production order with crew avails
Production Order — Coastal 12 Creative Services (demo station): the AE picks an open shoot time, Tue Nov 3 · 8–10 AM
THE PROBLEM

Account executives promise shoot dates without seeing the creative calendar. Crews get double booked and air dates slip.

WITH PERICLES

The production order shows open crew avails. The AE books a real time, the creative services director confirms, and every step gets a date.

REAL EXAMPLE

Bayou Auto Group “Fall Sales Event”: shoot Tuesday 10 AM, edit Wednesday, client review Thursday, delivered Friday, on air Monday.

Production Order Form With Real Crew Avails

Pick the client, the job and an open time. Avails come from crew hours minus promo blocks and booked work, so nothing gets double booked. Works on the phone in the field.

02 / CREATIVE SERVICES SCHEDULING

Creative Services Scheduling for Every Desk

Each order becomes a dated itinerary: shoot, graphics, edit, client review, delivery. The creative services director assigns crew and moves times. Script, Cloud Drive, Cine Edit and Delivery with client file review open from the same order.
