## Shot list and call sheet templates for studios.

Shot list and call sheet templates for production companies. Set out the film in frames, locations, crew, schedule and contingencies, in your studio's look.

- [Fremantle](https://formlio.com/templates/fremantle-film-pre-production-brief) — A pre-production pack a production company sends after signing: the film in frames, locations, crew, schedule, contingencies and the sign-off that locks the shoot.

## Go from first draft to your client.

Lay out frames, locations, crew and schedule in your studio's look. Share it privately with crew and client, see what they read, and collect the sign-off on the same page.

1. **Present: Build it from blocks, in your studio's look.** — \- Blocks for frames, locations on Google Maps, a schedule and contacts - Logo, fonts and colours set once - Start from a template or duplicate your last shot list
2. **Send: Choose who sees the shot list, then share the link.** — On a private link, only the people you invite can open it. Allow re-sharing per person, or keep it to them.
3. **Follow up: Get an alert when it's opened, then see what they read.** — See who viewed it on a private link, how often, and the time spent on each section.
4. **Agree: Let them comment on the page and sign off the shoot.** — Signed-in viewers chat with your team and quote the line they mean. The client approves with a slide or signs to lock the shoot.

## Add more to every shot list.

Embed Google Maps, Google Sheets and Vimeo next to each location. Publish it all on your studio's own domain.

### Embed what you already use

### Talk on the page

### Connect ChatGPT or Claude

Build, edit or check on documents from the chat.

### Live editing

Your team works on the same document at the same time, and sees when your client is on it.

## What changes when the shot list is a page.

Three studios, in their own words.

> The level of customisation is a real strength. It allows you to create something that feels aligned with your own visual identity, without compromising on speed or usability. And importantly, it moves proposals away from static documents into something far more dynamic and engaging.
>
> — Ana Grigorovici, Founder, Designer & Creative Strategist, Design Bench Studio

> I’ve used Formlio for design cases and proposals, and it’s a much better fit than the usual old-school tools. Most of them feel like a chore. Formlio doesn’t. It’s flexible, easy to use, and the support is seriously top tier.

> The team at Formlio are so passionate about building a product specifically for creatives. They have really listened and turned feedback in features that are especially important to our day-to-day proposals. Having a responsive, web-style proposal just makes sense. It meets people where they are eg. scrolling on their phone, mid commute, making quick decisions. I’ve really loved connecting with Marianne and watching Formlio's journey unfold from the early stages.

## Common questions about shot lists and call sheets.

Locations, schedule changes, phone reading, privacy, sign-off and reuse for your shot lists and call sheets.

### Can I show locations on a map?

Yes. Embed Google Maps live on the page, next to the rest of the document.

### What happens when the schedule changes?

Edits to a published document stay hidden until you republish, and the same link then shows the latest version. Version history keeps every version so you can preview or restore one.

### Does it read well on a phone?

Yes. Every Formlio document is a responsive web page that reads on desktop, tablet and phone.

### Can I keep it private?

Yes. On a private link, only the people you invite can open it, and they verify their email first. Anyone else can request access, which you approve or decline from the email.

### Can the client sign off the shoot?

Yes. They approve with a slide or sign by typing, drawing or uploading a signature, and you get a notification.

### Can I reuse it for the next shoot?

Yes. Duplicate the document and change what differs, or save a block you have set up and add it to your next shot list.

> “The work studios make is considered down to the last detail. The documents that carry it to the client rarely are. We made Formlio so every one of them is as good as the work.”
