Circus is a visionary product with a goal of becoming the ultimate solution for managing every aspect of film production, including contract creation, payroll processing, and team member time-tracking, among other essential features.

Intro

Leveraging my extensive experience managing multiple products simultaneously, I led the design efforts for Circus across all areas while keeping a keen eye on the big picture to ensure our strategy was aligned with our long-term goals.

Daily Time Reports is a comprehensive digital tool that enables teams to input and track work hours, grouped by department. The platform offers highly customizable options for processing and approving reports, and the collected data can be used to automatically generate timesheets and process payroll.

This tool is transformative for the film industry, which has long struggled with effective solutions for managing crew hours. Our team worked closely with clients to identify their specific needs and develop a tailored solution.

Timesheets are an extension of Daily Time Reports and are designed for individual employees. They contain key information about the employee, including their name, role, billing, payroll details, and the days of the week they worked. The timesheet also includes details of their call time, wrap time, and meal breaks. After submission, timesheets are approved by the head of department and then the production manager to ensure that payroll can be processed accurately.

Running payroll is the final crucial piece of the puzzle. Circus is uniquely positioned to provide this service, as it offers full-cycle film production management, effortlessly connecting the dots from employees' onboarding and time tracking to payment processing.

As a design-driven company, we aimed to implement an efficient design system to support the complex product that requires frequent iteration.
