Drylab's Set Report 3 App - Pro Filmmaker Apps

Drylab's Set Report 3 App - Pro Filmmaker Apps

DEVELOPER'S DESCRIPTION

Drylab Set Report 3 complements traditional set and camera reports on paper for professional digital movie and TV drama productions. User-friendly and powerful metadata capturing and management ensure consistency and quality throughout the production process. We’ve built it in collaboration with International Script Supervisors, but it’s also very suitable for other Heads of Departments, including Costume, MakeUp, VFX, Camera etc., where our unique data model can merge all inputs to one database.

Set Report 3 is a replacement for Set Report 2 (already in use on feature films and TV-series worldwide), and adds support for the latest version of our Drylab Creator™ and Viewer™. If you have SR2 already, it will install alongside it, and it can import your old reports as needed.

One of the things we realized when working with experienced Script Supervisors, is how some of the job is still very convenient to do on paper. Therefore, we haven't digitized script lines and other stuff you prefer to keep in a binder, but instead focused on making a compact digital assistant you can use on both your iPad and iPhone.

With Set Report 3, we’ve changed to a subscription model, to ensure continuous improvements, updates and integrations. We have many plans for Set Report 3 now, and we hope you will support our endeavors! We hope you that you’ll love our new app almost as much as we do!

Mobile App for Local Content Grows 34%

Study Shows Double-Digit Growth of Local Search in Online Portals and Internet Yellow Pages

Brand Recognition and Reputation Drive 58% of Local Business Searchers to Choose Internet Yellow Pages Sites First

Mobile App for Local Content Grows 34%, Taking Share From Mobile Browsers & SMS

PR Newswire

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., July 19, 2011

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., July 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As online search activity continues to grow in usage and intensity, new data show local searches now account for 13 percent of all core search activity on top web search portals as of January 2011. Internet Yellow Pages (IYP) and local search sites also exhibited strong growth with 5.6 billion local searches in 2010, a 15 percent increase over 2009.

The State of Local Search study conducted by comScore, Inc., a leader in measuring the digital world, and released by the Local Search Association, looks at the online local search industry and explores local business search behaviors, highlighting usage trends and profiling searchers and their engagement with search options.

Brand Recognition Key Driver of Internet Yellow Pages Searches

In the survey, 58 percent of respondents who choose an IYP site first, like DexKnows, Superpages, Yellowbook and YP.com, do so due to brand recognition and reputation. Nearly a third (30 percent) indicated they chose an IYP site first because of its reputation for local business information.

Portal searchers were more likely to conduct local searches as part of broad information gathering, while primary IYP searchers reported conducting local searches to look for contact information with specific products or services in mind. Despite differences in usage frequency and site preference, over half of local business searchers choosing portal or IYP sites as primary local search sites, are highly satisfied and find success in their search experience.

"The comScore study proves that convenience, trust, and brand are all important in attracting the local searcher," said Neg Norton, president, Local Search Association. "We know that consumers consult multiple sources of information, but the local search providers that offer all three attributes to the consumer will be in a good position to deliver to the advertiser. Internet Yellow Pages retains a significant level of brand recognition and reputation among consumers – with 58 percent citing the brand as a reason for visiting – which reinforces the value of IYP sites for local businesses."

Apps Use for Mobile Search Skyrockets While Online Local Coupon Adoption Grows

The study shows significant growth in mobile local search use, which provides opportunities for local businesses to engage with potential customers via mobile. In January 2011, 77.1 million mobile subscribers accessed local content on a mobile device, up 34 percent from the previous year. Local content users accounted for 33 percent of mobile subscribers, with 87 percent owning a GPS-capable handset (up 9 percent from the previous year).

An analysis of core mobile usage behaviors showed local content dominating, as mobile subscribers increasingly turn to their mobile phones for information on maps, weather, traffic, retail and other local content.

App use for mobile local content grew 34 percent, with 56 percent of respondents using apps for local content. Browsers lead in usage of local content with 73 percent, dropping from 75 percent last year. Local content via SMS dropped to 25 percent from 30 percent.

Online daily deal offers and discounts have also emerged as an additional customer acquisition channel for local businesses. The comScore study found that primary IYP searchers were less likely to report purchasing online daily deal coupons for local businesses than business searchers on other sites (27 percent vs. 38 percent).

"Daily deals represent a big opportunity for Internet Yellow Pages," said Gillian Heltai, Senior Director at comScore. "We see many new entrants to the daily deal space, but awareness is a big issue; with IYP sites already interacting with local business searchers that are in the purchase funnel, there is the prospect of intercepting shoppers who are looking to buy and could become return customers."

"The market is changing so rapidly that small businesses need a trusted advisor to help them sort through the complexity," said Norton. "This is particularly true with trends in the mobile space and daily deals. Small- and medium-size businesses are still working to understand how to be effective and use these tools to their advantage."

State of Local Business Search Webinar

comScore and the Local Search Association will be presenting additional findings on usage and consumer experiences with online and mobile local business search activity from this study in a complimentary webinar on July 20th at 2pm EDT. To register for the webinar, please go here:

Cloud-based Mobile App Platform Brings Internet Services to 95% of the World's Mobile Phone Users Who Don't Have Smart Phones or PCs

PR Newswire

SYDNEY, March 25, 2011

SYDNEY, March 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Less than 6 months after launching its service, feature phone mobile app company biNu has reached 1 million unique users per month, with a current growth rate of over 40% month on month.

biNu provides simple, ultra-fast access to popular Internet services such as Google Search, Google Translate, Wordnik Dictionary, Wikipedia, News, Weather, Cricket & Soccer scores, exchange rates, mobile app stores as well as SMS services.

biNu's 1 million unique monthly users come from over 150 countries with top markets including India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, USA and Nigeria. This diverse popularity stems from biNu's ability to display content in any language on any handset with many popular services in Hindi, Tamil, Urdu, Arabic, Persian, Chinese and other Asian languages.

New research from Asymco shows there are 3.5 billion mobile subscribers in emerging and developing nations without smart phones or mobile broadband. While the feature phones they use are data capable, it is not easy, fast or cheap to access Internet services. Even in the U.S., 72% of mobiles are feature phones.

Snaptu – acquired earlier this week by Facebook – shares biNu's focus of providing Internet services to the 95% of mobile users that don't use smart phones. In addition biNu offers an open developer platform (http://www.developer.binu.com) which means any organisation or developer can utilize the biNu platform to dramatically improve access to Internet based services for feature phone users.

"Facebook's acquisition of Snaptu highlights the strategic value of providing a much better way to deliver Internet services to 3.5 billion feature phone users. But you don't have to buy a company like Snaptu to do it," said Gour Lentell, CEO for biNu. "Our strategy is to provide an open development platform that companies and developers can use to deliver a more effective mobile Internet experience."

The biNu mobile app delivers ultra-fast, easy-to-use, multi-lingual Internet services to virtually any mobile phone, from mass-market feature phones through to Android smart phones, with Blackberry support coming soon.

The end-user biNu experience is 5-10 times faster – using much less bandwidth – compared with the standard browsing experience on 2G feature phones. There is minimal processing performed on the user's mobile device with 100% application processing performed on biNu's cloud-based servers.

To demonstrate the speed and ease of use of biNu, the company has created a video demonstration at www.binu.com/demo comparing the performance of a Google Search on biNu compared to Google Search in a standard mobile web browser.
