Studiovity's call sheet software is an integrated tool designed to automate the creation and distribution of professional, industry-standard daily schedules for film and television production. It functions as the final execution stage of the platform's "Production Funnel," directly pulling data from earlier pre-production phases to ensure accuracy and eliminate manual data re-entry.
Core Functionality: The "Magic Call Sheet" -
The platform's primary feature is the "Magic Call Sheet," which automates document generation directly from the Scheduling module.
1. Automated Data Retrieval: With a single click, the software extracts all relevant information for a specific shooting day—including scenes, cast members, props, locations, and weather—from the master project database.
2. Schedule Integration: To use this workflow, an Assistant Director (AD) first organizes the shooting schedule on the digital stripboard and inserts a "Daybreak." Clicking "Generate Call Sheet" on that daybreak strip automatically populates the document with all scenes scheduled for that period.
Key Features -
Studiovity's call sheets are designed to be both comprehensive and highly customizable for professional sets:
1. Industry Standard Formatting: Templates adhere to professional standards, ensuring all essential fields—such as call times, parking notes, and emergency contacts—are included.
2. Integrated Communication: Users can distribute call sheets directly via email or the mobile app, ensuring the entire cast and crew receive their daily instructions promptly.
3. Customizable Visibility: Production managers can toggle the visibility of specific sections (e.g., hiding the cast list or budget-related details) before exporting to PDF.
4. Real-Time Updates: Any last-minute changes to the schedule or breakdown are instantly updated across all team members' dashboards, reducing miscommunication.
5. File Attachments: Users can seamlessly attach additional documents and resources, such as location maps or script sides, directly to the call sheet.
Operational Duality (Web vs. Mobile) -
The software provides distinct experiences tailored to the user's environment:
1. Web View: Optimized for comprehensive pre-production planning, enabling detailed population and customization of templates.
2. Mobile View: Designed for on-set utility, allowing ADs and production coordinators to generate or view call sheets on the go and receive real-time notifications about updates.
Workflow Context -
The call sheet module is foundationally linked to other Studiovity modules:
1. Script Breakdown: Tags for cast and props created during the breakdown automatically flow into the call sheet.
2. Department Module: Contact information and asset logs are pulled directly from the project's master database.
3. Scheduling: The daily plan finalized on the stripboard serves as the "single source of truth" for every generated call sheet.
