Shoot

From shooting day to call sheet.

Create a call sheet from a day on the schedule. Scenes, cast and locations are filled in for you; you add call times and the practical notes.

Add only the sections you need

Weather, extras, departments, advance schedule, crew, communication, special notes, attachments, reference images and custom fields. Anything unknown says Needs input.

  • Finalize checks for missing essentials such as crew call
  • Make a new revision when plans change

Stays in step with the schedule

If the shooting day changes after you made the call sheet, it shows that it needs a refresh and lists what changed before you apply it.

  • Older revisions are kept and marked as replaced
