CREATIVE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Explore crowd staging early while making clear that a visual preview is not a final safety or production plan.

For an authorized purpose, prepare illustrative crowd-scene options and layout notes from an approved production brief for a supervisor to inspect. A simulated crowd can misstate scale, movement, accessibility, or real-world safety, and source references may be protected. Clear references and likenesses, label previews as illustrative, limit access to production materials, validate scene requirements with the crew, and require a qualified supervisor to approve any plan or external release. Explain personal-data use and retention, obtain required consent, respect source and reuse rights, verify important details, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.

Keep in mind

A simulated crowd can misstate scale, movement, accessibility, or real-world safety, and source references may be protected. Clear references and likenesses, label previews as illustrative, limit access to production materials, validate scene requirements with the crew, and require a qualified supervisor to approve any plan or external release.

Protect originals and private drafts

Limit access to working files and remove unnecessary copies when their purpose ends.

Keep release with a named owner

Require a person to approve each asset, caption, audience, and release.
