Starting with the story and breaking down the elements, building a schedule and sharing the reports, Celtx is an incredibly thorough tool for TV and video (or film, or theater). It’s cross platform application that is completely free. One of the interesting features involves a built-in web browser, enabling some great collaboration opportunities. For instance, you can update multimedia assets (like photos) in realtime, so everyone has the same pic of the location for tomorrow’s shoot. In fact, Celtx is built on Mozilla’s Application Framework.
Available free at Celtx.

Thanks to a wall bracket, your books will appear to be floating in the air. The cover of the “book” (SelfShelf) is the French “C’est n’est pas un livre” (This is not a book.) So clever!
