Sound Designer Task List

Last Revised on September 11, 2012

Welcome to your Task List! The Sudbury Savoyards Task Lists are designed to be used as a guideline for how you can successfully complete your job in the current production. The task list is divided into five sections:

General Information - fun facts to know/Background Information
Quick List - a quick list of all tasks that you are responsible for (these may require input from others). Clicking on a task will take you to a more detailed description of that task.
Task Details - detailed information on each task.
Tasks assigned to others, but require your input. The person responsible will be named and a link provided to their task list for convenience.
Reference Documents - forms, documents that have been used in the past. You may find them useful.

In order to keep this task list current and helpful, please edit it as you see fit. You will be asked to turn in your marked-up copy at the Debriefing Meeting. You can also send any changes electronically by clicking here or the link at the top of this page.
