04 · Productions & call sheets
Every production in one place, with call sheets built from your own roster.
Each production gets one home: who is on it, when it shoots, where the gear is and what it costs to keep running. Call sheets use the crew you already have on file, and the weather, sunrise, sunset and nearest hospital for each location are filled in for you.
Who uses it most: Producers, production managers and coordinators running a shoot.
What’s included
A page for every production
Overview, roster, schedule, travel, logistics, assets, running costs and wrap-up notes live on the production, not in separate files.
Multi-day call sheets
Build call sheets day by day with department sections and call times, using crew from your roster.
Weather and nearest hospital, filled in
Give a location and the call sheet fills in the forecast, sunrise, sunset, chance of rain and nearest hospital, after checking the address.
On-set mode
Switch a call sheet into a live view for the day, made for checking on a phone on set.
Production calendar with Google Calendar
See shoot days, bookings and time off on one calendar, connected to your Google Calendar.
Your Asana tasks on the dashboard
Connect Asana and each person sees their own My Tasks list next to production work. There are also tasks inside BacklotHub if you don’t use Asana.
Travel briefs and shared documents
Email travel briefs to the people travelling, and keep company documents such as policies, templates and deal memos in one library.
