Why this template
Not every shoot needs a two-page call sheet.
On a four-person commercial or a Saturday short, half of a feature call sheet is empty space. Crew calls by department do not matter when the whole crew arrives in one van; meal counts do not matter when you are picking up sandwiches.
This template strips the call sheet down to what a small shoot actually needs: who, where, when, and the contacts everyone hopes they will not have to call. One page, ready in five minutes.
What's inside
Everything a small crew needs, nothing they don't.
The fields cover the day-of essentials — call time, locations, schedule, and the contacts you need on speed dial. Print it, PDF it, or text the link.
Call time and meal time
The two times the crew actually reads. Loud at the top of the page.
Key location info
Set address, parking, and basecamp in one block.
Cast and crew contacts
Names, roles, and phone numbers in a clean list — easy to scan at 6am.
Daily schedule
Scene order, page counts, and time blocks for the shooting day.
Lodging & travel
Hotel addresses and travel logistics for out-of-town shoots.
Production notes
A footer for wardrobe, weather, and any flags the crew needs to know before they roll up.
