Shoot parameters

days · start · lunch
Per-day start times

Every day follows the default start above unless you switch it to Custom. Days left on Default track the field automatically — change the default and they move with it. Use Custom when one day needs a shifted call (e.g. more night work).

3

Confirm cast per scene

add non-speaking actors

The stripboard only lists speaking cast. Add any background or non-speaking actors who are physically in each scene — they affect call times and scheduling. Tap a name to remove it; use the box to add anyone new. New names propagate to availability automatically.

4

Locations off the lot

flag anything not in-studio

Most scenes stay in the contained studio, so moves between them are free. Tap any location that requires a company move off-lot — the optimizer will group its scenes together to avoid ping-ponging. EXT locations are pre-flagged; untap if they're actually a studio setup.

5

Cast availability

hard ins / hard outs

For each actor, per day, choose All day (available, no constraint), Hard in/out (available only within a window — set the times), or Not available (won't be scheduled that day). Any scene is placed only on a day where every one of its cast members is available; if that's impossible, you'll get a conflict warning up top.

Call sheet details

project · dates · crew · weather
Additional locations

Everyone reports to the primary location by default. Add other locations here (e.g. a park, a second unit base) — then assign any cast or crew member to one in their row below or in Wardrobe.

Per shoot day — date & crew

Set the calendar date and crew for each shoot day. Weather & sunrise/sunset are pulled per day from the date above + the production zipcode.

7

Wardrobe by actor

outfits to bring, per day

List what each actor should bring / wear on the day(s) they work. Only the days an actor is scheduled show a field once you've generated the schedule (before that, every day is shown). Wardrobe prints on the relevant day's call sheet.
