My Role: Production Coordinator

On Vampire Surf Cult, I was grateful to be really involved in aspects of production I’ve never touched before. My first major assignment was diving deep into the script and making a script breakdown for every character, prop, background, and FX assets that would need to be created in pre-production. Using a template, I filled in the script breakdown based on the script at the time, which then became the basis for the pre-production assignments, including applying naming conventions, if multiple instances of an assets needed to be modified, or any other necessary details.

I was in charge of coordinating and tracking voice actor audio meetings and files, so I modified this template originally created by Allison Sribnick to keep track of the progress for recording. The “Line #” column aligns with the line numbers notated in the VA version of the script that the actors use. The “Recording Progress” column tracks each stage of the audio we were using for the pilot from scratch by the storyboard artist, to multiple VA passes, to fully complete, and it also informs the “Recording in Progress” and “Recording Done” progress bars at the top in real time. The “Final/Retake Pass” was an as-needed column in case any rewrites or retakes were needed.
