Film Composer is an app designed to be used with ERPNext to help manage the film composer business.
It follows a general workflow for film composing:
Production Commission -> Spotting Notes -> Sketches -> Cue Sheet -> Master Recording Details.
For larger productions, you can skip the Cue Sheet process. For smaller/independent projects that are not as familiar with what a Cue Sheet is or what to do with it, it makes it easier to generate one for them since you will have all the data handy.
You will need to have a ERPNext server installed for this to work. Generally speaking, this will be a Linux box with Python installed. If you follow the instructions, it will setup everything for you. You can choose to use a locally installed MySQL server, or an external source.
bench get-app filmcomposer https://github.com/haynieresearch/filmcomposer.git
bench --site [site-name] install-app filmcomposer
bench migrate && bench build && bench clear-cache
If you receive any errors about not being in developer mode:
bench set-config developer_mode 1
bench clear-cache
Once you are done, you can disable developer mode by changing the 1 to a 0.
If you somehow get stuck in maintenance mode, run this:
bench set-config maintenance_mode 0
bench update
bench migrate && bench build && bench clear-cache
Please note this is still very much an in progress application in active development and not considered mature at this point. If you see anything missing or functionality that should be included, feel free to open an issue.
The overall goal of this project is to make it easier for Film Composers to track their work/projects and the output they deliver. ERPNext is an excellent framework for this project due to the built in functionality for managing your business. The idea being, all of your business from accounting, to HR, and the core composer work can be done in one single application.

Here you can access all the features in one spot.
This is where you will start, enter all of the production information. Once you have saved a production the easiest way to move into Spotting Notes is to use the "Create Spotting Notes" button in the upper right. The required information will transition from the Production to the Spotting Notes.
In the detailed edit button you will find all of the required details, including the description/notes section to make notes about each cue.
Here is where you go from spotting, to tracking the individual cues and their status. The cues from the Spotting Notes will transition over to the Sketch Project.
If you follow the general workflow, the cues from Spotting & Sketching will follow into the Cue Sheet.
This is not required for anything, but just a detailed list of all Master Recordings produced.
