During preproduction, film and television companies consider visuals in deciding on cast, location, and special effects. Using telecommunications would allow these decision makers to confer at a distance, reducing travel and delays caused by shipping materials back and forth. To support preproduction, an interdisciplinary team developed a prototype computer supported cooperative work application, implemented on Telstra's experimental multimedia communications platform, and demonstrated it to major Australian film and television companies. >
