I just came to the portion of the video where he talks about forgetting poses/scenes. With all the notes hanging from the drapes, he could tape lists on the floor on each position of his, where all the scenes are numbered. He could highlight his current position for each note, so he would know where to go next. Just look at the list and know the next scene. The equivalent of a commercial airplane pilotes checklist.

Photography massproduction throughput. My inner engineer like it alot.

Thats a good point. I am sure that everyone would adapt their workflow and prompting slightly differently to suit high volume management.
