Plan Each Set from Prep Through Strike

Take the sets, props, and greenery from the script breakdown and plan the dressing, construction, sourcing, schedule, and budget for each one.

Move between the sets, props, and greenery identified in the breakdown and see the scenes in which each one appears.

Set Dressing

List each dressing piece with its description, brand, color, size, quantity, price, photos, and drawings.

Construction

Break construction down into materials and labor, with quantities, rates, work dates, and budget.

Purchases, Rentals, and Vendors

Track what is being bought or rented, where it comes from, how many are needed, the price, and the dates each item is required.

Prep, Shoot, and Strike Dates

Set the prep and strike window for each set and see the scheduled shoot dates alongside it.

Art Department Budget

See set dressing and construction totals by set and across the art department, then print the lists needed for prep and the shoot.
