Gorilla

Although we all enjoy viewing them, the truth is that film and video productions in general can get hectic. This is why having a tool to help out with the production management can go a long way and make things easier for anyone on the set.

Perhaps, one of the hardest things with filmmaking is keeping your calendar straight. Gorilla is an application that is designed to handle all types of movie productions and hence, help you avoid the logistical nightmare.

The app comes with a user-friendly interface that is split into several menus that facilitate browsing and finding a point of interest. While the tool comes with a Scheduling and Budgeting version, you can also use them together. As far as features are concerned, you can sort out and manage every little aspect of the production. If you have been in the business for a while and are working with other tools, then rest assured, you can import the screenplay and manage the custom fields.

The idea behind the tool is to enable you to sort out all aspects related to the logistics of a movie and hence, you can track schedules, rehearsals, crew call sheets, print cast, meetings and location scouts. In fact, anything related to the movie can be easily organized in a calendar that you can easily monitor. As you would expect, the app can be configured to send notifications for anything of interest, be it cast, equipment or crew.

Overall, the application can be used just as well for short movies as well as longer movies with numerous staff and complex sets. The app includes features that allow you to maximize efficiency and manage multiple locations and people, including crew, actors and stunt doubles.

Gorilla is a tool that addresses professionals in the filmmaking industry who have the time and knowledge to take advantage of all of its features. While the features are tailored to cover all possible situations, the truth is that they can also be a bit overwhelming at times.
