Production Structure

Kitsu's data model organizes work around a hierarchy of production entities (studio → production → episode/sequence/shot, or → asset) crossed with a task-tracking system (task type, task status, department).

Table of Content

2. Manage Productions - Create, configure, and organize the productions (projects) tracked in Kitsu.
3. Manage Episodes - Add, edit, and organize episodes within a production.
4. Manage Sequences - Add, edit, and organize sequences within a production or episode.
5. Manage Shots - Add, edit, and organize the shots that make up a sequence.

Data Model

• Studio - The top-level organization. A studio runs one or more productions and defines its own departments.
• Department - A functional group within a studio (e.g. Modeling, Animation, Lighting, Compositing). Departments group related task types.
• Production - A project (film, series, game, etc.) managed by the studio. Productions contain episodes (if episodic), sequences, shots, and assets.
• Episode - A subdivision of a production, used for series-style projects. Optional for feature-style productions.
• Sequence - A subdivision of an episode (or directly of a production for non-episodic work), grouping related shots.
• Shot - A unit of filmed/animated action within a sequence; the main container for shot-based tasks.
