A good packing list  often determines whether a day of shooting goes smoothly or is hampered by a lack of equipment. With tillyboard's packing list tool,  you can reliably plan what you need for each scene, each location, and each day – clearly structured, automatically generated, and always up-to-date.

Why packing lists are essential in film production

Whether it's a camera, lenses, tripods, batteries, radio links, memory cards, or lighting – a film production involves many individual components. Even small projects require precise preparation. A packing list helps you organize your equipment logically, avoid duplicate items  , and ensure nothing is forgotten.

Automatically generate packing lists from the project

With tillyboard, you no longer create packing lists by hand or in Excel – but directly from the data in your shot list , shooting schedule  , or equipment database . As you plan scenes or shooting days, you can assign the required equipment – ​​and automatically create packing lists that you can share with your team or print out.

• Packing lists per day, scene or location

• Link to your equipment inventory

• Status tracking (packed, borrowed, missing)

• Assignment of responsible persons (e.g. camera, sound, lighting)

• QR code integration for easy scanning & checking

• Compatible with shot list, shooting schedule and shooting module

Benefits for your project:

• Automatically updated  – if the plan changes, the packing list adapts

Who is the packing list intended for?

The packing list feature is aimed at camera crews , production managers , lighting technicians , set runners , sound departments , and anyone who manages equipment and accessories  during filming . It's especially helpful for multi-day productions , changing locations  , or mobile work with a small crew .

With tillyboard's packing list tool,  you can plan your shoot so that nothing is missing and everything is ready on location. You save time in preparation, avoid chaos when packing, and bring order to your production – all without the hassle of paperwork or Excel spreadsheets.
