In one example aspect, an automated production system includes a directing server configured to store production-stage information in a machine-readable script and manage production of a multimedia content according to the script. The system also includes a device management server configured to coordinate one or more shooting locations for the production of the multimedia content. The device management server is configured to receive a portion of the production-stage information extracted from the script based on its location. The system further includes end devices connected to the device management server. The device management server is configured to track activities of the end devices and to provide status of the end devices at a production time to the directing server to enable the directing server to dynamically update the script for subsequent shooting activities at the production time.
