Location
Network
We needed to create a tool for location scouts to use to in order
to effectively scout locations for production companies using an online
interface. We also needed to provide tools that allow creation, categorization
and manipulation of over 400,000 high-resolution digital images. These
images needed to be stored effectively online in low-resolution formats
for easy browsing, as well as offline for the creation of high-quality
PDF presentation documents. The application needed 3 main domains:
front-end for users, consultant domain to allow consultants to work
directly with users to scout locations and process
orders, and administration to manage the extensive library of images.
We created at Digital Desktop for scouts to use to manage hundreds
of location images in an online, interactive environment. The Digital
Desktop consists of 3 tools, representing the 3 phases necessary in
scouting location; initial location discovery, group feedback and
image filtering and, finally presentation to the production companies.
This tool has both
online and offline components. The online components were developed
using ASP and other image manipulation tools, driven by a MS SQL Server
2000 database. The offline components were created using Java, to
run as a desktop application to take online digital documents built
by users, and transform them into high-quality PDF documents with
rich, high-resolution images for professional presentation. The application
uses secure transaction pre-authorization and order processing, running
on a dedicated, high-disk-volume managed server.
