I’m interested in modeling an exchange between several people using their phones. So right now I’m doing it in a very basic way through properties.
For example say these five guys were sending messages:
Artist | Nickname |
---|---|
Bob Ross | Clouds |
Andy Warhol | Soup |
Keith Haring | Radiance |
Jean-Michel Basquiat | Crown |
Roy Lichtenstein | Dots |
So You’d have:
Bob Ross (Clouds): +17655550100,
To: (Soup) +12125550200, Keith +13105550300, (Crown) +12125550400, Roy +12125550500
Message: I’m not a happy little tree today.
Roy +12125550500
To: (Clouds) +17655550100, (Soup) +12125550200, Keith +13105550300, (Crown) +12125550400
Message: I’m spot on today.
Attachment: image.jpg (113k) (a single spot)
etc.
It becomes problematic to link the conversation as a timeline with my limited use of the software, I created properties for:
Property | Notes |
---|---|
call_from | Applies to Item Types: Event, Person |
call_to | AtIT: persons, multi-line |
phone_number | How do you link phone_numbers to characters consistently? |
address | Likewise linked to character? |
sms_attach | I want these images in the book |
Basically I’m just modeling each element of the message chain and then grouping them into master threads as a post-production effort.
Anyone care to enlighten me on how to model this kind of linkage? Sorry if this question is open-ended but I think I’m missing a lot of implementations I could be making?
Best regards,
