The Worksheets That Make Production Real
You get six structured worksheets that turn pre-production into accountable work. Each form captures the facts, responsibilities, timing, and approvals your show, matter, or campaign needs before release.
01 What Worksheets Are
Structured Forms For The Deliverables A Real Production Advance Requires.
A worksheet is not a checklist. A checklist is a list of things to remember. A worksheet is a structured form that captures the specific deliverable a department, a venue, or a partner expects to receive. Each worksheet in The IMC Machine corresponds to one pre-production deliverable, numbered in working order, with required fields that exist because the field has been the source of a real show day failure.
02 The Six Worksheets
Worked In Numerical Order,One Through Six.

Schedule
The master production schedule from load-in through last call, with sound check, doors, set times, and load-out.

Structured log of every pre-production meeting, advance call, and artist check-in, with attendees, decisions, and next steps.
