    Make sure to read the Readme. It tells you how to sign the pre-built app. :)

    Free and Open Source Scheduling and Budgeting Software

    Been making lots of updates as I'm using this on an actual feature right now. It has Days Out of Days, conflict recognition, custom strips, breakdowns and more! And it's FOSS (but still Mac only until someone ports it). https://github.com/ChrisTempel/CineSched

    FEATURE: Leap: A Tale of the Last Days ($20,000 Feature)

    So as a fun little followup, here's a breakdown of revenue and where it's come from. The crazy part to all of this is that originally, I was planning to get on Amazon by myself. Had that actually happened, the film would have made ~$500. Getting hooked up with Indie Rights was the best thing...

    Hopefully someone will step up and do that. I would imagine they could use something like Antigravity to get it going without knowing anything about coding.

    Have made a few small updates. CineSched now has a custom strip that is red in color and doesn't require eighths or an estimated time. It's useful for Company Moves or making important notes to the schedule. CineSpend now supports ten different currencies which you can select from when you...

    BorisFX Acquires VEGAS

    I used to be the biggest Vegas fanboy. Cut three features on it and would talk about it to anyone who would listen. It's crazy how far it's come! The last version I used was 11 or 12, but I think 9 was the last version I used religiously. The VFX stuff it has now is especially interesting...

    What are the do's & don'ts of selecting a business name?

    I personally can't stand when people use their own name. Too much ego. I named my company "Pyro Studios" because I love fire, I think it's beautiful, and I want my work to reflect that. For job title on my business cards, I went with "Creative Director", even though it's just me for now.

    Oh awesome! Hope it was the new videos I made yesterday. Lots of new features! As for maintaining, sort of? I made them for myself, so as I encounter bugs or want features, I'll add them and release updates. I might attempt a Windows port myself, if I have a collaborator that needs it, or...

    Free and Open Source Scheduling and Budgeting Software

    As a gift to the film community, I'm releasing my two apps, "CineSched" and "CineSpend", as free and open source. I've made the actual apps themselves available before and posted about them, but I decided to release the source code in case someone else wanted to add features and create ports for...

    Working on a new scheduling software

    Made another update yesterday that allows me to import a .fdx file! I'm still testing it before I decide to release that version, but so far it's great! I'm also working on an update to CineSpend that will allow for calculation of costs based on how much and how many days are needed.

    Working on a new scheduling software

    Here's a download link to the apps. Mac only. Built for Tahoe, should work on Sequoia. Not signed, you will have to do that with the Terminal the first time you run them. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B9QIOruxgv_TYZICpOJD_o0hPzhdEPGk/view?usp=sharing

    Working on a new scheduling software

    I had a chance to make some much needed tweaks to this today. I cleaned up the header, improved the scene strips, and got the PDF exports to span multiple pages! Super stoked for that :D I experimented with Grok and Gemini first, but they weren't doing what I needed, so I went back to Claude...
