[00:00:00] In this video, which is actually going to be five minutes, I promise, I'm gonna go over how to use a gallery production template and produce a gallery project. Um, and I'm gonna do that not from my browser window, but from notion because, um, my browser is starting to crap out on me. So let me change what part of my screen I'm sharing here.

[00:00:26] My browser is like, Really, Steve, you wanna do more? Okay. So here we go. We're gonna hop into the projects database and we're gonna go over to, uh, make a new gallery project. Okay? And the, the way to do that quite simply is to go over here to Blender Gallery missions page, and then hop down into current media production and just click new under kickoff.

[00:00:55] And then open up this page and click Lander Gallery production. [00:01:00] Hmm.

[00:01:07] And so now you're in this new Lander Gallery production that you just made, uh, which you can add a little thing for, and we're gonna call it example gallery production. Um, now this page, um, Already has filled in with a bunch of stuff that you, uh, may look for related to, uh, gallery production. One of the first things you wanna connect on a gallery production is, um, the creative direction.

[00:01:39] So to do that, you open up creative direction, which is a database that we have where our clients submit photo shoots and those photo shoots show up. And you wanna grab whatever creative direction the customer most recently submitted that you may see is unlinked, and you want to go [00:02:00] link it to a project.

[00:02:03] All of these are already linked as you can see, but I'm gonna link this one to two ones. Example, gallery production is the one we just created, and then you can click that page to go right back to the page you just created. So now you can see in our example, gallery production, we have got creative direction hooked up and filled in right here.

[00:02:21] And so now the person who's using this production can see, oh, here's what the client submitted and here's what they want us to do. Cool. Great to see that. All right. Here in line, in the page that we're working on. So now what I would suggest you do is you read through audience and outcome, scope and you say, Okay, um, we want to make 15 images.

[00:02:45] Of a new district that's lit nicely in Colorado City,

[00:02:59] and once [00:03:00] you've answered all these questions, you can delete this little box. You may want to hop into Google and Google, um, something related to this project. So let's go. Let's go to Google and let's, let's see. So

[00:03:19] light up the night outdoor downtown.

[00:03:28] And then let's search for images of other cities that have done stuff like this. Okay, So like, here's a great one. Um, and then you can just go copy image. You can hop back into notion. I know I'm not sharing my screen for the Google image search, but just imagine a bunch of pretty images like this. Okay?

[00:03:49] And then, you know, go find a couple. Some are aerial, some are not.

[00:03:56] Vo, right? So this way you get some, actually [00:04:00] one of these is in Colorado Springs. This way you get some content that's good inspiration for what you're working on and that you can add to the production mood board so people can see it here as they're working on this project. And then you can, uh, delete some of the instructions that are in there as a part of the template.

[00:04:17] Um, there are not multiple locations for this photo. Oh, hold on. Evan's trying to figure out what's going on here.

[00:04:30] Um, but anyway, uh, now you can pop down into kickoff and scope so you can see that we have done the stuff in scope. We can read the kickoff, how to. So once a client submits the form through the gallery dashboard, we link it to creative direction. We build out this notion page, confirm with photographers, list details below, and send a copy of the project.

[00:04:54] Dashboard to everyone involved. Make sure anyone who needs to be aware of the development of this project is tagged, commented this [00:05:00] step. So you can see right here that I've already tagged someone into comment, doing a great job. Once I've read that and I've done the things in it, I can delete. Um, I always try to make sure to sort of clean up as I go.

[00:05:11] Again, this is the whole purpose of this production checklist is to go back through as a reference later, and so it should look nice and clean, right? So let's pretend that we've booked staff confirmed and confirmed and Cal invited those staff and that we've paid their invoices. Um, next we would need to create a Dropbox folder and then link it right here in original media.

[00:05:33] And you can see here, there's instructions on how to do that that you could delete once it's done. And then you would actually just paste your Dropbox link here and then check that box and then send a copy of this project page right here from the share link, Click copy web link. And you would share that with the client super easily by email or by just tagging them in the notion page if they're already invited to our Notion Workspace.

[00:05:57] Here's a reminder to delete all your tool tip [00:06:00] boxes as you go. Not turn them into a page like I just did. And so once you've gotten in here and you've begun to, um, make the production happen, then you can begin deleting some of these tutorial bits and make the page look nice and us. And, uh, once you have worked your way through all of these check boxes as the person producing the project, if you're responsible for it, you want to put your name right here as the responsible party.

[00:06:32] And if there's anyone you're waiting on, you can put them right here and waiting on, Okay. And then, then it'll start showing up on their dashboard of things that they're being waited on for. So the responsible party is responsible for moving through all of these check boxes and making sure that they get done, and if any of them get caught anywhere, tagging the person that they're caught on, making sure that you're not waiting on that person anymore.
