I somewhat cover that under ‘shot list’ and having a document with all the various details that one may need. I am however also exploring the database idea, using the free production tracking software, Kitsu. I have some early coverage of this little adventure here: [Using Kitsu for solo production tracking - #3 by johantri](https://blenderartists.org/t/using-kitsu-for-solo-production-tracking/1321064/3)

No doubt, tho for the most part the folder, etc names based on the sequences aren’t really created till after identifying the sequences/shots via the storyboard stage. But even after that, using numbers based on every 10, you have plenty of room to add and even move with a newly assigned sequence number.

I mean at the end of the day, you have to name and store it all somewhere and some how. Its just a matter of finding a system that works.
