See every featureThe problems FilmBase solves for call sheets
Wrap night should take minutes, not hours. FilmBase automates call sheet population so you can wrap on time.
Hours Spent Late at Night Copy-Pasting Details
2nd ADs spend 2 to 3 hours every wrap night retyping scene numbers, cast call times, location addresses, and weather reports into external template spreadsheets.
1-Click Call Sheet Auto-Fill
FilmBase pulls scene running orders, cast call times, location maps, and live weather forecasts directly from your schedule in one click.
Manual Script Sides Trimming Errors
Cutting script sides by hand in PDF editing tools often results in missing pages, outdated dialogue revisions, or sending the wrong scene sides to actors.
Automated Call Sheet + Script Sides PDF Export
FilmBase automatically trims your screenplay to include only the exact pages scheduled for that shoot day, bundling the call sheet and script sides together in one clean PDF export.
Missing Emergency Hospital Information
Forgetting to look up and include the nearest emergency hospital address and phone numbers on daily call sheets creates serious safety risks on set.
Saved Hospital & Safety Details
Save emergency hospital addresses, phone numbers, unit parking notes, and safety warnings once on your location card, and they populate automatically on every call sheet.

Common questions
Where does the call sheet information come from?
From the project you have already built. Auto-fill pulls the scene running order off your stripboard, cast and their call times off the schedule and contact cards, and addresses off your locations. Nothing is invented and nothing is retyped, which is why it takes a click rather than the two to three hours a 2nd AD normally loses on wrap night.
Does it include a weather forecast?
Yes, for any location carrying GPS coordinates. FilmBase fetches the forecast for that exact pin whenever you have a connection, so the call sheet carries real weather for where you are actually shooting rather than for the nearest city.
Can it produce script sides as well?
Yes, and in the same document. FilmBase trims the screenplay to only the pages scheduled for that shoot day and bundles the call sheet and sides into one PDF, so nobody is cutting sides by hand in a PDF editor at midnight and nobody receives the wrong scenes.
Can I add rows for things specific to the day?
Yes. Add custom rows and department notes for a camera package move, a stunt rehearsal, an unusual meal break, or anything else that does not fit a standard template, and add per-department call times alongside the general crew call.
Does it carry the safety information?
Yes. Save the nearest emergency hospital, its phone number, unit parking instructions, and any safety notes once on the location card, and they populate on every call sheet that uses that location, so the information cannot be forgotten on the one day it is needed.
