Call Sheet - Production Office Platform for Call Sheets, Read Receipts and Turnaround

Dashboard, call sheet list, the call sheet editor with all 12 printed sections and a print preview, distribution and read receipts, and hours and turnaround.

Valid permits for every location, signed risk assessments for every hazard, nearest emergency department, cast confirmed, child performer calls inside licence conditions and turnaround for every called crew member.

Sent, delivered, read, not read and bounced for every crew member, performer and agent, with a Not read view sorted by earliest call, resend to not read and an SMS call reminder.

14 departments, 10 cast including a licensed child performer, 6 locations with permits, 17 scenes, 6 risk assessments and 30 call sheet versions across 24 shoot days of a 48-day series.

Late Changes, No Proof of Receipt

When the schedule moved, a new PDF went to the whole unit late at night with no way to tell who had opened it. The office needed to see who had not read the latest version, starting with the people called earliest.

Permits and Hazards Change by Location

Filming on public land or roads in Northern Ireland generally needs council permission, with DfI Roads involved for some roads. Stunts, water work, heights, vehicles and night shoots each need a signed risk assessment whose key controls belong on the call sheet.

Child Performers Have Their Own Rules

Children generally need a performance licence, in Northern Ireland usually issued by the Education Authority, and a chaperone. Each licence sets its own permitted days, hours and breaks, and the rules differ by age, so they cannot be hard-coded.

Turnaround Found Too Late

Rest rules under the Working Time Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2016 and crew terms based on PACT/BECTU agreements mean a late wrap and an early call can collide. Breaches were found on timesheets a week later, and overtime only showed up in the accountant's cost report.
