Sides

From stripboard to set
Start with the day or start with the script
For the day’s work, choose a shoot date and pull the scenes already scheduled on the stripboard. For rehearsals, casting sessions, director meetings, or department prep, switch to the script and choose scenes by hand.
Check the scenes
Review the sluglines and include only the material needed.
Make the sides
Keep selected pages readable and strike the surrounding script material.
Print or send
Print the PDF or save shoot-day sides with the matching call sheet.
Sides Maker features
A practical scene pull for production
Prepare the pages people need without rebuilding the script by hand.
Shoot-day sides
Choose a dated shoot day and pull the scenes assigned to that day’s stripboard.
Custom scene pulls
Switch to Script and check scenes for rehearsals, auditions, meetings, or department prep.
Circled scene numbers
Mark the selected scene number using its position and text width in the source PDF.
Excluded material crossed out
Strike script areas outside the selected scenes while keeping the page and pagination intact.
Continued scenes
Carry a scene across pages and mark when the selected material continues.
End-of-scene marks
Identify a scene that finishes at the bottom of its final page without marking pages that continue.
Script draft selection
Choose the script or episode needed for the pull and review its scene list beside the PDF.
Clean reset
Clear every checked scene and return to the original PDF with no sides markings.
Print-ready PDF
Review and print the finished pull for cast, crew, rehearsals, or the production office.
Call sheet attachment
Save the day’s sides with the matching call sheet so they can travel with the call sheet email.
Side-by-side review
Read the PDF beside the scene list while deciding what belongs in the pull.
Production permissions
Let the appropriate production roles create and save sides while view access remains available to the crew who need it.
Shoot-day pull
Follow the schedule without retyping a scene list
When the stripboard changes, the shoot-day view gives the production office a direct way to pull the pages attached to that date. The checked scenes can still be reviewed before the PDF is made.
- Choose the current schedule and shoot date.
- See the scenes assigned to the day.
- Adjust the pull before creating the PDF.
- Save the finished packet with the call sheet.
- Replace the day’s packet when the scene pull changes.

Pull only the material in front of the room
Sides are useful anywhere a production needs focused script pages. Choose a single scene, a run of scenes, or material spread across the draft without sending the full screenplay.
- Director and actor rehearsals.
- Casting sessions and callbacks.
- Table reads and scene work.
- Department meetings and technical planning.
- Last-minute shoot-day changes.

Selected scenes, original pagination, circled headings, continued-page marks, and print-ready output.
