What do you like best about SetHero?

Call sheets, call sheets, call sheets. I've used SetHero for many projects, mostly commercial film. I did use it for one movie (as the production coordinator). One of the biggest perks of using SetHero is the capacity to send call sheets VIA TEXT and email. It's life-changing. There are no excuses that you didn't see an emailed call sheet, or a call sheet update when you literally get a text to your phone. AND you can see who's viewed the call sheet, how many times they've viewed it, and people can confirm their call time from the text or email. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SetHero?

There are some very picky things that I don't like about SetHero. I'm not going to list them, but there are a few small things that aren't very intuitive, which means that if I have a 2nd AD on a project, I do have to train them on SetHero if they haven't used it. But honestly, its still the most intuitive thing out there by far. It's the best thing I've found for call sheets. Studiobinder seems great in theory, but the site is always down, don't do it. You'll be in the middle of a project and for a half hour to an hour can't access your call sheets. That's an eternity. SetHero is always up and running and very very intuitive compared to anything else out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SetHero:

Try it for a project. It's fairly inexpensive, and definitely worth giving it a shot. If you're not using call sheets already, start with a free one like simplecallsheets.com, especially if you have a tiny crew and the call sheets don't need to have lots of info. I don't use SetHero for day shoots with a crew of 3 people. That's unnecessary. But for shoots over a few days with a crew of 8 or more, it's life changing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SetHero solving and how is that benefiting you?

Call sheets are so easy to make, and I know that people saw them and are gonna show up on set. If someone didn't see a call sheet, I can follow up with a text making sure they got it. I don't have to be anxious that someone to their shoot days confused and isn't going to show up. It's definitely saved people a time or two (that I've been told) from thinking a shoot was on the 11th instead of the 10th. People aren't perfect. SetHero is close to perfect.
