Abstract

A mobile entertainment production control system including a tow vehicle and a mobile production command or control center for enabling enhanced efficiencies in the production of entertainment content such as movies, television programming, and the like. The mobile control command or control center can include a trailer including a series of production suites or positions and an on-board power system configured to provide power to the mobile production command or control center, which can provide support for a series of mobile production assemblies configured to receive and record inputs of video, sound, and other data, as well as enable wireless communications and playback of video, and which can be configured to transfer video and audio data to the mobile production command or control center. Communication with the mobile production command or control center and control of aspects of the filming operation can be directed using a mobile control application.

Dependent claims

An entertainment production control system, comprising:

a tow vehicle including a power system configured to be transported therewith;
a mobile production control center comprising a plurality of production suites configured for entertainment production operations including on-site copying, digital imaging, coloring, correction and processing of video and audio data, or combinations thereof;
wherein the plurality of production suites are electrically coupled to the power system of the tow vehicle to power operations thereof;
production equipment including camera equipment;
audio equipment, and lighting equipment;
and
a plurality of mobile production assemblies configured to operatively communicate with at least selected ones of the production suites of the mobile production control center and with a distributed set of the production equipment positioned about a production set location;
and
wherein, the entertainment production control system is configured to enable a leapfrog production operation wherein:
the mobile production control center is powered by the power system of the tow vehicle so as to perform on-site copying, digital imaging, coloring, correction and processing of video and audio data, or combinations thereof without requiring connection of the mobile production control center to shore power;
and
wherein during filming and performance of production operations by the mobile production control center is on-going at a first production set location, a second set mobile production assemblies can be established at a second production set location that is remote from the first production set location and once the mobile production control center arrives at the second production set location, communication with the mobile production assemblies is initiated to begin production.

9 more elements

A method of producing movies and television programs, comprising:

delivering and setting up a plurality of production equipment to a first geographic production set location, wherein the production equipment includes at least camera equipment;
audio equipment, and lighting equipment;
connecting the plurality of production equipment to a plurality of mobile production assemblies, wherein the plurality of mobile production assemblies comprises a plurality of video input/output assemblies and a plurality of sound input/output assemblies that are respectively configured to receive video and audio inputs from the production equipment;
delivering a mobile production control center to the first geographic production set location via a tow vehicle including a power supply assembly configured to be transported therewith;
enabling a power transfer between the power supply assembly and the mobile production control center;
connecting the plurality of mobile production assemblies to the mobile production control center to enable transfer of video and audio data received by the mobile production assemblies from the production equipment to the mobile production control center once filming has commenced;
selecting a set of mobile production assemblies from the plurality of mobile production assemblies, wherein the set of mobile production assemblies comprises at least one video/output assembly and at least one sound input/output;
and
after filming has commenced at the first geographic production set location, moving the set of the mobile production assemblies to a second geographic production set location that is remote from the first geographic production set location via at least one support vehicle.
