Vijay Kuppuswamy, the brain behind this software who has actually put his heart and soul into the process of creating this software made a presentation that explained the entire process. It is worth noting that he has also played the lead in Vishamakaran!
VISHAMAKARAN (2020)
Just before the pandemic kicked off, Vishamakaran team managed to complete its pre-production phase in a traditional method arriving at 19 call sheets. However, as an Indie moviemaker, Team Vishamakaran was less confident to kick start their production phase due to lack of control measures pertaining to the process of movie-management!
Team vishamakaran realised the need for a powerful digital solution to make their movie in a cost effective and hassle free manner. Since team Vishamakaran hails from a rich tech background they decided to do things on their own.

They developed a robust software platform in a requirement driven approach and used it to complete Vishamakaran. This platform helped the team to revise the call- sheets from 19 to 13 which resulted in 40% cost saving. There were lot other benefits which made the team Vishamakaran to think of the next step.
If an Indie filmmaker was able to achieve this, then imagine what an incumbent filmmaker could do. Hence they worked further and created a Generic, cloud based, Off the Shelf product, HONEY FLICKS. The product has been launched for specific customers in Tamilnadu as a trial run.
In this context, Honey Flicks is expected to be rapidly adopted by the Tamil industry followed by all PAN INDIA film production companies. Honey Flicks is a new way for filmmakers, production companies, and agencies to streamline their production management workflow. This is a web and mobile based software with a suite of integrated products-from managing talent and crew details creating shooting schedules, archiving documents and media in the cloud, to creating, sending, and tracking mobile-friendly call sheets.
