Production Management involves creating a list of materials, props, equipment, required for the shoot. It involves scheduling of the shoot, dividing the time allloted into shots and keeping all involved in the loop.

Shots that have to be composited using CG or 2d backgrounds need to be shot against chroma. The number of chroma shots therefore gives an idea of how much chroma cloth is required and so on.

The better the planning, the lesser the hassles and more the time and mental space to innovate and improvise during the shoot.

"In the case of Pandu Mangal, it took us around something more than 2 weeks of shooting. Some days we could manage just 2 seconds, on some we could manage more" says Vicky who managed the production.
