Making Call Sheets

Create call sheets from your schedule, scenes, cast, crew, locations, sides, maps, and shoot-day notes.

Plans change. Call times shift. Locations switch. MoviePrepper helps production send accurate call sheets.

Call sheets

From schedule to call sheet

A call sheet should not feel separate from the rest of prep. It should come from the same schedule, scenes, cast, crew, and locations the production has prepped.

MoviePrepper starts with the shoot day, then brings the important details together so production can review, adjust, and send.

Call sheet FAQ

Common questions about call sheets

What is a call sheet?

A call sheet is the daily document that tells cast and crew when to arrive, where to go, what is shooting, and what details matter for the shoot day.

How does MoviePrepper create a call sheet?

Choose the shoot day and MoviePrepper uses the schedule, scenes, cast, crew, locations, and shoot-day details already in the project.

Can call times be adjusted?

Yes. You can adjust the general crew call and individual call times for cast and crew.

Can I attach sides?

Yes. Sides can be attached when the call sheet is emailed.

Can I include maps and PDFs?

Yes. Maps, parking instructions, PDFs, and other files can be sent with the call sheet.

What makes MoviePrepper different from a blank template?

A template starts empty. MoviePrepper starts from the shoot day already built inside your production.
