That almost worked. I altered it slightly and now it works great.

Code:
find . -depth -type l -print | while read path
do
    path=${path#./}
    if [ ${#path} -ge ${prev:-0} ]
    then
        prev=${#path}
        indent=""
        IFS='/'
        set -- $path
        IFS=$' \t\n'
        while [ $# -gt 0 ]
        do
           echo "$indent$1"
           indent="   $indent"
           shift
        done
        echo "$indent$(ls $path | head -1)"
        echo "$indent$(ls $path | tail -1)"
    fi
done

Thank you very much!

I spoke too soon. That script works if there are no sub directories.
Without sub directories result:
Code:
DPX
   pe0880_v400002
      pe0880_v400002.1000.dpx
      pe0880_v400002.1041.dpx
DPX
   pe0880_v400003
      pe0880_v400003.1000.dpx
      pe0880_v400003.1041.dpx
DPX
   pg1100_v400019
      pg1100_v400019.1000.dpx
      pg1100_v400019.1120.dpx
QT
   pe0880_v400002.mov
      QT/pe0880_v400002.mov
      QT/pe0880_v400002.mov
QT
   pe0880_v400003.mov
      QT/pe0880_v400003.mov
      QT/pe0880_v400003.mov
QT
   pg1100_v400019.mov
      QT/pg1100_v400019.mov
      QT/pg1100_v400019.mov


With subdirectories the result:
Code:
DPX
   pe0880_v400002
      2404x912
      2404x912
DPX
   pe0880_v400003
      2404x912
      2404x912
DPX
   pg1100_v400019
      2404x912
      2404x912
QT
   pe0880_v400002.mov
      QT/pe0880_v400002.mov
      QT/pe0880_v400002.mov
QT
   pe0880_v400003.mov
      QT/pe0880_v400003.mov
      QT/pe0880_v400003.mov
QT
   pg1100_v400019.mov
      QT/pg1100_v400019.mov
      QT/pg1100_v400019.mov

Ideally, only the .dpx files would show first and last. Any other file type would simply be listed.
Like this:
Code:
DPX
   pe0880_v400002
      2404x912
         pe0880_v400002.1000.dpx
         pe0880_v400002.1041.dpx

   pe0880_v400003
      2404x912
         pe0880_v400003.1000.dpx
         pe0880_v400003.1041.dpx

   pg1100_v400019
      2404x912
         pg1100_v400019.1000.dpx
         pg1100_v400019.1120.dpx
QT
   pe0880_v400002.mov
   pe0880_v400003.mov  
   pg1100_v400019.mov

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

dh_installdeb

DH_INSTALLDEB(1)						     Debhelper							  DH_INSTALLDEB(1)

NAME

       dh_installdeb - install files into the DEBIAN directory

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installdeb [debhelperoptions]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installdeb is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing files into the DEBIAN directories in package build directories with
       the correct permissions.

FILES

       package.postinst
       package.preinst
       package.postrm
       package.prerm
	   These maintainer scripts are installed into the DEBIAN directory.

	   Inside the scripts, the token #DEBHELPER# is replaced with shell script snippets generated by other debhelper commands.

       package.triggers
       package.shlibs
	   These control files are installed into the DEBIAN directory.

       package.conffiles
	   This control file will be installed into the DEBIAN directory.

	   In v3 compatibility mode and higher, all files in the etc/ directory in a package will automatically be flagged as conffiles by this
	   program, so there is no need to list them manually here.

       package.maintscript
	   Lines in this file correspond to dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) commands and parameters.  Any shell metacharacters will be escaped, so
	   arbitrary shell code cannot be inserted here.  For example, a line such as "mv_conffile /etc/oldconffile /etc/newconffile" will insert
	   maintainer script snippets into all maintainer scripts sufficient to move that conffile.

	   A versioned Pre-Dependency on dpkg is needed to use dpkg-maintscript-helper(1). An appropriate Pre-Dependency is set in
	   ${misc:Pre-Depends} ; you should make sure to put that token into an appropriate place in your debian/control file.
