WHAT IS AN ART DEPARTMENT DRAWING DISTRIBUTION
LEDGER?
An Art Department drawing distribution ledger is the distribution list
for the drawing plans. It is used to show who has received up-coming set
designs, revisions to existing plans, reference and quick access for all
parties on the list. It also shows and makes sure all interested parties have
received the latest and greatest revisions, which be numerous. The template on
this page, I created for Production Designer Jon Gary Steele. I had the honor
to be his Art Department Coordinator on numerous shows. I used this template on
all the feature films, TV and documentaries I have worked on. We would create a
drawing plan excel list and distribute the list to the production designer, art
directors, set designers and Ads for quick access, reference and revisions.
Information on the distribution list:
- Set Number…
- Set Name…
- Sheet Number…
- Drawing Title…
P=Preliminary Drawing
R=Released (finalized and released for use)
RV=Revision (Make sure all parties have any revised plans)
Example of Department and individuals on the Distribution List:
- Construction Coordinator…
- Carpenters…
- Paint or Scenic…
- Art Department…
- Set Dec…
- Director of Photography…
- Gaffer…
- Grip…
- Director…
- Greens…
- Props…
- ADs…
- Others…
- Distributed By Initials…
This seemingly small task is huge and so important. The cost factors
for a mistake or the wrong plans distributed or not received can cost from
thousands to millions of dollars.
