Shotgun project creation steps

Welcome!

This page contains some information and a step by step tutorial on how to create new Shotgun projects at Parasol Island.

1. Creation steps in the Agentursoftware.

• Choose a proper name for your project without and special characters like "#-$§%&/()/&"
• Think twice if yeou will need the project folders on our server, for producing the images or movies we do only need ONE folder, not a folder for each "Nachkalkulation" or "Adaption"
• If the project is done bei FLM and ANM we only need one folder created on the server because we will only do the work in one of them.
• If you are not 100% sure that we need the folder, ask someone in charge.
• After taking all these steps you can create the project in the Agentursoftware.

2. Creation Steps in Shotgun

• We do have a working script which automatically creates the newly created project in Shotgun.
• Find the project in Shotgun by copying the name from the Agentursoftware and paste it in the search field on the upper right side of the Shotgun website.
• Follow the next steps in the image
