Call sheets

A call sheet nobody has to retype

Latentshoot builds it from the schedule and the people on the job, so you never retype it and it never quietly drifts out of step with the day. Set like a document that gets printed and pinned up, not like another screen.

No card. Free keeps one active shoot going for as long as you want — it is not a trial.

Latentshoot’s call sheet set on warm paper: unit call, estimated wrap and shot count at the top, per-person call times for crew and talent below, the location with a map link, and the running order with start times for each shot.
Warm paper, dark ink, sized for A4. This one is meant to be printed, so it does not look like the rest of Latentshoot’s dark planning screens.

Assembled, not typed

You never enter anything on it twice

The sheet gathers up what your schedule and the light have already settled: the running order, the times, the location. So it cannot disagree with the day it describes. If the schedule is warning you about a pinned shot the day cannot reach, you will see that here too, in the same words.

Change a call time, add a shot or move a location at ten at night, and the sheet is already right next time anyone opens it. There is no second document for you to go and match up.

Each person’s call time here comes off your unit call — lighting an hour before the model, say — read straight from the people on the project.

Set like print

A document, not a screen

The rest of Latentshoot plans on a dark grey screen. Your call sheet is the exception, on purpose: warm and paper-white, because this is the page that gets printed and pinned to a wall, or opened once by somebody who has never seen the app before.

Print it, or save it as a PDF, straight from your browser: one sheet per shoot day, in order, with your studio logo at the top if you have set one. On the free plan it carries a small "Planned with Latentshoot" mark, which goes the moment you move to a paid plan.

Headings you can read at arm’s length, the dense parts set small and tight — laid out for a page that gets printed and pinned up, not for a screen.
A call sheet needs a shoot day to describe, so add one on the schedule with a call time before there is anything to print. Put the location on the map and the sunrise and golden hour times print alongside it. Without that, the sheet says so rather than guessing.

Questions

About call sheets

Can I send this to a client without them making an account?
Yes. A call sheet link opens with no login at the other end, on any phone, and whoever has it can read the sheet but not change it. You choose whether the link carries the call sheet alone or the wider plan, and you can switch it off at any point.
Does the call sheet update if I change the schedule after sending it?
The link always shows the current version of the day — reopen it and you see today’s sheet, not the one from when it was sent. A PDF you saved or a copy you printed is that moment frozen, like any document, and needs reprinting if the day really changes.
Do I need a call sheet for a small shoot — two or three people?
A call sheet is one shoot day: the call time, the running order, who is due when, and where the nearest hospital is. That does not change with crew size, and it costs nothing extra to keep one even for a two-person day.
What if I have not set a location for the day?
The address, parking notes, access notes and nearest hospital simply do not print — nothing is invented in their place. Add a location and put it on the map, and the sunrise and golden hour times print alongside it too.

A call sheet that is already right.

Add a shoot day and the people on it, and you have a document ready to print or send.

No card. One active shoot is free for as long as you want it.
