Plan the shoot

The signed proposal opens the project with the client, the contract value and the payment schedule already in it. Plan the shots, book the crew and send a call sheet everyone confirms.

One project holds the job

Every project carries its plan, its shoot days, its cuts and its money. Move it from phase to phase on a board, and see what is next for it at the top.

  • A board by phase, a list and a timeline, with a rush flag
  • Tasks, My Work and task templates
  • Project templates and Duplicate for the jobs you run again
One project holds the plan, the shoot days, the cuts and the money.

Shot lists and storyboards

Write the shot list with the scene, the type, the location and the cast, and draw the storyboard beside it. The crew get the version they need.

  • Brief, documents, shot list, storyboard, locations, cast and gear lists
  • Import a script from Final Draft, Fountain or a PDF and tag the breakdown
  • Stripboard and day out of days, pushed to the shoot schedule
A shot list with the scene, the location and the minutes.

Moodboards your client can react to

Collect the look in one board, present it, and send your client a link where they can react and comment on each card.

  • Notes, pictures, swatches, links, tables, drawings and diagrams on one canvas
  • Present it, or download it as a lookbook PDF
  • Client feedback and approval by link
  • Starter boards and your own templates
A moodboard your client can react to, card by card.

Call sheets they confirm

Send each person the sheet they need, with the weather, the sunrise and sunset, parking and the nearest hospital. They confirm with one tap, and you see who has not.

  • One-tap confirm, and who has seen it
  • A new send only to the people whose sheet changed
  • Live weather and sunset for the location
  • Links that close a set number of days after the shoot
Weather, sunset, nearest hospital, and each person's tap.

Book the crew properly

Hold a date, book it, and send a deal memo you have read before it goes. Your crew get a free account for their gigs, their call sheets and their invoices to you.

  • Crew roster with roles, rates and availability
  • Holds, bookings and conflict flags
  • Deal memos you preview before they are sent
  • Crew timecards with overtime, carried onto their invoice
  • W-9 collection for US crew
Hold a date, book it, and read the deal memo before it goes.

The day, minute by minute

Lay out the shoot day once. The schedule feeds the call sheet, and the shoot-day view keeps it in your pocket on set.

  • Shoot schedule that feeds the call sheet
  • Shoot-day view with a short brief for the day
  • Calendar of shoots, meetings and deadlines, with a feed for your own calendar app

Questions people ask

Do my crew need to pay for Cutvey?

No. Crew get a free account for their gigs, call sheets and invoices to you, and they never count as people on your plan.

Does the call sheet work on a phone?

Yes. Each person opens their own sheet from a link, sees their call time first and confirms with one tap. No app or account is needed.

Can I bring in a script?

Yes. Import it from Final Draft, Fountain or a PDF, tag the breakdown, and build the stripboard and the day out of days from it.
