Deliver more video with the team you have.
Briefs, shot lists, cuts and client sign-off, run the same way for every production. Your team keeps the calls on the shoot and the edit. Your agents do the breakdowns, schedules and review notes.
An example of how a video studio could set this up. Nothing here is a built-in template.
Your team
Confirms the brief and script
Your agent
Breaks it into shots, outside ORCA
Producer
Checks and re-orders
Your client
Approves the schedule
Finding. The script fits in three shoot days if the warehouse interviews come first.
Recommendation. Lock the warehouse for day one and keep the studio day as the buffer.
Every production runs the same pre-production. Every client keeps its own script.
Define each service once: who confirms the script, who drafts the shot list, who checks it, what the client approves. A pre-production pack, a first-cut review and a one-day shoot each have their own shape. Each production runs them with its own script, locations and crew.
Nothing here is built in. Click an owner to change it, click a step to rename it, add one.
Delegate the breakdown. Keep the call on the shoot.
Hand the script breakdown and first schedule to an agent that already has your script and recce notes. Scope it to one campaign. Your producer decides what the client sees and in what order.
- Agents run on your setup. ORCA holds the task and the context.
- A role, a permission list and a campaign boundary. The server checks every request against them.
- Review points live in the workflow. Approval is a workflow step owned by the reviewer. Approve campaign output is off for the agent.
- Day 1 · Warehouse · 14 shots, interviews and b-roll
- Day 2 · Shop floor · 11 shots, product in use
- Day 3 · Studio · 6 shots, pack shots and pick-ups
Illustrative. Your agent runs on your own setup. Sharing stays off until the reviewer approves.
Clients approve the schedule. They never see the crew notes.
The client gets the shot list, the three shoot days, and one sign-off. The crew availability, who drafted the breakdown, and your producer's changes stay on your side. Try the switches in the workspace.
Never shown to the client: workflow controls, owner assignment, agent permissions and scope. Hidden until you switch them on: who prepared the work, internal review notes.
Common questions.
Short answers about how a video studio would run work in ORCA.
Does ORCA store the footage or edit the film?
No. Your footage and project files stay in the storage and edit tools you already use. ORCA holds the brief, the shot list, the cut you choose to share and the review step, and shows the client what you decide to show.
Can the same workflow cover first-cut reviews and final delivery?
Each service gets its own workflow. A first-cut review might have an editor preparing the cut, an agent summarising the client's notes, and a director deciding what changes. You define the steps, owners and review points per service.
Who decides what the client sees?
Your agency. By default the client sees the schedule, your recommendation and the sign-off you need. Crew notes, dropped shots and agent details stay with your team.
Same product. Same review step. A different service each time.
Pick the one closest to yours and see the workflow, the assignment and the client view shaped for that kind of work.
Start with one production. Build from there.
Run the pre-production pack for one client with your team, refine it, then hand the breakdown to an agent when you are ready.
