Armadillo is just what you need to manage a progressive database of the people involved in making your movie. Quickly enter information about anyone standing in fron of or behind the camera, not to mention those who give you equipment, money, a house to film in or just about anything else. Save yourself the headache of trying to remember who all these people are when the time comes to lay down your closing credits.

Ginger is the ultimate portable storyboard. Describe your shots as the visuals come to you, wherever they come to you, then sketch them. While big sheets of paper may still be your favorite, you can't argue with portability for on the fly concept development. Keep track of where and when the shots will take place, along with the corresponding page numbers of the shooting script. As an added bonus, the built in location manager will allow you to cross reference your imaginary locations with their physical counterparts.

palmSlate is a tool which allows digital filmmakers to keep an accurate journal of shooting information, such as video and audio timecode on a shot by shot, take by take basis. I do not believe there is any need for much explanation, as you will no doubt recognize all of the fields, so just load it onto your palm and get to shooting. If you do come up with any questions, suggestions or comments, please feel free to eMail me, they will be appreciated.
