Big Brother
Luma Pictures' internal VFX production tracker (shots, deliveries, staff, culture and docs) built by me in PHP on my Caffeine/Cana engine, with cron jobs, a service layer and a newer include_new codebase that became Colaby BB. Core of my Luma tools work, 2009-2012.

Big Brother
Big Brother tracked Luma's production: shots, deliveries, staff, the culture pages and the docs. It ran on my own engine, Caffeine and then Cana, with a bunch of cron jobs keeping things in sync and a service layer the other tools could talk to. The logs, cron.log and error.log, lived right in the app root, and I tailed them over SSH.
include_new was Colaby, ported in. The newer codebase grew next to the old one and I moved things over one screen at a time, since you can't stop a VFX facility in the middle of a show to refactor.
This was the core of my Luma work, 2009 through 2012, and almost nobody outside the building ever saw it.
