Call sheet example

A filled-in call sheet, ready to print

One shoot day, worked out end to end: a studio morning, a company move, and a coast group held to the evening golden hour. Print it, save it as a PDF, or take the outline below into whatever you already use.

Nothing to download and no account to make — this is a page, so your browser’s own print command (⌘P, or Ctrl+P) turns it into a PDF, and the site’s furniture drops away when it does. If you want the reasoning behind each section rather than the finished article, that is the guide next door: what goes on a photography call sheet.

A made-up label and a made-up crew, on a real date at real coordinates — which is why the sunrise, sunset and golden-hour times are the ones that shoot would actually have had. Set on warm paper rather than the dark interface, because this is the page that gets printed and pinned to a wall.

The same thing as plain text

If you keep call sheets in a document, an email or a spreadsheet, this is the same structure with the values taken out. Copy it, fill it in, and delete the lines that do not apply to your day — a sheet with an empty heading on it is worse than one without the heading.

CALL SHEET — [project]                        [date]
Client: [client]                              Day [n] of [n]

UNIT CALL  [hh:mm]     EST. WRAP  [hh:mm]     SHOTS  [n]

LOCATION
  [name]
  [full address]
  Map:       [link built from coordinates, not the postcode]
  Parking:   [where, and from what time]
  Access:    [loading bay, lift, floor, door code]
  Hospital:  [nearest A&E, with distance]
  Contact:   [site contact, and their mobile]

LIGHT  ([date], at [location])
  Sunrise [hh:mm]   Sunset [hh:mm]
  Morning golden hour  [hh:mm]-[hh:mm]
  Evening golden hour  [hh:mm]-[hh:mm]
  (Repeat for a second location if the day moves.)

CALLS
  [hh:mm]  [name]  [role]  [mobile]  [note]
  ...      one line per person, earliest call first

RUNNING ORDER
  [hh:mm]-[hh:mm]  [dur]  [ref]  [item]                 [location]
  ...              breaks and company moves included

WEATHER    [checked by hand, close to the day]
HAZARDS    [anything unusual about the location]
FLAGGED    [any point where the plan does not fit — state it here]

Two of those lines are worth keeping even though nothing can work them out for you: the weather for the date, and anything hazardous or unusual about the location. Everything else on the sheet above — the per-person call times, the wrap estimate, the running order, the light — is arithmetic on a shot list, which is the argument for not maintaining it by hand. How the sheet builds itself.

The sheet above was not laid out for this page. It is what the product produces from that shot list, so a change to a call time or a location on the Tuesday before the shoot is already correct on it.
