Script Breakdown
Import scripts, detect cast and sets, tag scene elements, annotate the script, and keep breakdown data connected to the rest of prep.
MoviePrepper features
One connected production workspace from script to set
MoviePrepper keeps script breakdowns, shooting schedules, cast, crew, locations, call sheets, sides, logistics, media, budgets connected in one production workspace.
Import the script, break down the scenes, build the schedule, and create call sheets from the current shooting schedule without rebuilding the same production information by hand.
Connected production planning
One production. One connected workflow.
MoviePrepper connects the production information that usually gets scattered across breakdown sheets, schedules, contact lists, location files, call sheet templates, and shared folders.
Import the script and detect cast and sets. Break down scenes and tag production elements. Build the shooting schedule from strips carrying sluglines, one-liners, page counts, cast, sets, and scene elements. Then select the shoot day to prepopulate the call sheet from the current shooting schedule, cast and crew lists, and linked shooting locations.
Break down once. Build the schedule. Create the call sheet from connected production data.
Production tools
Run the production from connected data
Use one module or connect the full workflow across script breakdown, scheduling, call sheets, sides, cast and crew, locations, logistics, media, budgets, actuals, and production reports.
Scheduling & Stripboards
Build stripboards and shooting schedules from broken-down scenes while keeping sluglines, one-liners, page counts, cast, sets, and scene elements attached.
Scene Elements
Manage props, wardrobe, vehicles, background, special equipment, sets, and custom production elements across scenes and strips.
Call Sheets
Prepopulate call sheets from the current shooting schedule, cast and crew lists, linked shooting locations, and shoot-day details.
Sides Maker
Generate sides from selected scenes in the script or from the scenes scheduled for the shoot day, then attach them when sending the call sheet.
Production Reports
Capture production reports after the shoot day with the information, notes, and outcomes that matter for the production record.
Pre-production
Break down the script and build the schedule
Start with the script and turn it into usable production data. MoviePrepper helps producers, ADs, coordinators, and department heads work from the same foundation before the shoot day is built.
Scripts
Import one or multiple scripts, detect cast and sets, manage revisions, and keep previous breakdown work intact as drafts change.
Breakdown
Tag props, wardrobe, vehicles, background, special equipment, sets, and custom scene elements once.
Stripboards
Turn scenes into strips and organize the production visually by shoot day.
Schedules
Plan shoot days, move scenes, create schedule versions, and keep the schedule tied to the breakdown.
Day-Out-Of-Days
Track cast work days, holds, starts, finishes, travel, and schedule visibility across the production.
Budgets
Build production budgets, account-based costs, global variables, and print-ready budget views.
Creative prep
Keep creative prep tied to the production
Casting, scouting, mood boards, shot lists, costumes, hair, makeup, and art department work can stay connected to scenes, strips, locations, and production planning instead of living in separate folders and threads.
Casting
Manage cast options, character notes, agents, guardians, measurements, references, attachments, and scene visibility.
Location Scouting
Track scout options, photos, maps, parking, hospitals, contacts, documents, and set-specific location details.
Mood Boards
Collect images, videos, links, drawings, and visual references for departments and collaborators.
Shot Lists & Storyboards
Plan coverage by scene with shot notes, storyboards, production tags, and print-ready views.
Costumes, Hair & Makeup
Track wardrobe continuity, costume changes, hair looks, makeup looks, measurements, references, notes, and media.
Art Department
Organize set builds, set dressing, construction needs, labor notes, and location-specific art prep.
Production logistics
Keep the moving parts ready for shoot day
Call sheets depend on more than the schedule. MoviePrepper helps keep cast, crew, locations, contacts, transportation, vendors, equipment, documents, and logistics organized before the call sheet goes out.
Cast & Crew
Manage contacts, positions, work dates, dietary restrictions, travel, lodging, documents, walkie channels, and permissions.
Calendar
Coordinate production meetings, events, tasks, prep milestones, and schedule-related dates.
Warehouse & Vendors
Track production inventory, vendor details, wrap boxes, purchase needs, and printable item reports.
Transportation
Manage picture vehicles, production vehicles and transport logistics.
Tech Scout
Capture location plans, camera needs, grip and electric requirements, media, notes, and setup details.
Equipment Lists
Build camera lists, grip lists, electric lists, quote-ready packages, and print-friendly department outputs.
In production
Create the call sheet from the current shooting schedule
When the schedule is set, select the shoot day and let MoviePrepper prepopulate the call sheet with scheduled scenes, cast, crew, shooting locations, call details, catering visibility, and other shoot-day information already tied to the project.
Call Sheets
Prepopulate call sheets from the current shooting schedule, including scene sluglines, one-liners, page counts, cast, crew, shooting locations, and call times.
Sides Maker
Create sides from selected scenes or from the scenes scheduled for a specific shoot day, then attach them when sending the call sheet.
Call Sheet Distribution
Send the call sheet to individual cast and crew members or the full cast and crew list, with sides, maps, PDFs, and supporting files attached.
Production Reports
Complete production reports after the shoot day to capture what happened on set, including notes, outcomes, and production activity.
Actuals & Cost Tracking
Track expenses against budgets, vendors, invoices, payments, tax incentive tags, and production cost records.
Project Activity
Keep visibility on recent changes, updates, and project movement so teams can stay aligned as the production changes.
Documents, media, and comments
Keep production files where the work happens
MoviePrepper keeps media, documents, comments, references, photos, videos, drawings, contracts, invoices, and attachments connected to the production items they belong to.
- Attach documents and media to scenes, strips, contacts, locations, budget lines, and departments.
- Keep comments tied to the exact production item being discussed.
- Build a searchable media library that can be reused across the project.
- Reduce lost context from scattered emails, folders, and messaging threads.
Activity and visibility
See what changed across the production
The dashboard gives the team visibility into recent changes, project status, and production activity so updates are easier to follow without chasing every department.
No duplicate work. No chasing updates. One workspace that keeps moving with the production.
Flexible by design
Use one module or connect the whole production
MoviePrepper does not force every production into the same workflow. Use script breakdown, scheduling, budgeting, crew management, location scouting, call sheets, or any module your production needs. When the production grows, the data can connect across the project.
- Use standalone modules when you only need one part of the workflow.
- Connect the workflow when the production grows.
- Carry project data from breakdown to schedule to call sheet.
- Upgrade by production size instead of paying per seat for every collaborator.
Run your production without rebuilding the same work
Keep scripts, breakdowns, schedules, call sheets, cast, crew, locations, sides, logistics, media, budgets, actuals, and production reports connected in one production workspace.
