Art Reasonover Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Hey there, I'm trying to build a new FM7 Costume Breakdown from and old FM5 one. In the old I had five differente "Files" with all the relationships working pretty much as I liked. Now I have one "File" with five "Tables" and I cant get the structure like before. Here are my "Tables" Chrono = This is where I input the data for the Scenes and add the Roles to each Scene. Roles = A list of all the Roles and the scenes that they are in. This is also where I assign the Costume #. Contunity = This is a printable list of all the Roles and Costume changes by Scene.One costume per page Line Up = A chart showing what scenes are shooting on what day. I would also like to be able to have the Roles show up across the top that are working that day and their Costume # in the respected scene. Kind of like a horizantal portal. Shoot Day = The shooting day and Date Can any body help me get the relationships working???

Ocean West Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 still digesting your files. but for starters it seems you repeat a lot of fields in each file which may not be necessary since they may be related. let me look a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I haven't looked at the layouts but only worked on your fields/tables/ and your Relationship graph. This is more normalized. You can pull info from the relationship and not have to repeat fields in each table.

Art Reasonover Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 Thanks for looking at my problem, I'm trying to figure out what changes you suggest. What is a contunity # ? If you get a chance please look at the layouts and I think they will help you understand where I'm going. Thanks, Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 Art, Forgive me if I took you on a roller coaster of changes. I was looking solely at the tables fields & relationships. From what I can see please correct me where I skew... You have a table of actors [cast] this contains data for this individual then you have a table [role] this is the characters in your production. [scenes] - was your Chron table. This is a list or table of all scenes. [continuity] sort of the central pasteboard to pull all these elements together here is where you specify what scene and role is being performed. along w/ the date of shoot and the order of shoot. I also added [costumes] table where you can keep a list of costumes also there is an [fittings] table where you can track fitting schedules. (i am working on some mods to my earlier post as things are a little clearer) File added. but still just my ideas thinking out loud. I hope this will help in some fashion I will try and look at it further when I am not so burnt out Costume_Breakdown.fp7.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
