A good shooting schedule  is the key to a smooth day of shooting. It combines creative vision with practical implementation and ensures that everyone involved knows what's happening and when. With tillyboard's shooting schedule tool,  you can structure your day precisely, flexibly, and clearly – directly linked to your scenes, locations, and shot list.

Why a well-thought-out shooting schedule is crucial

Whether on small productions or large film sets, without a clear schedule, teams are under pressure, important scenes are left behind, or the time of day is against you. A structured shooting schedule helps you keep track, set realistic timing, and react quickly to changes – all without the need for Excel or paperwork.

Automated time calculation included

Especially useful: tillyboard automatically calculates times based on your start time and the estimated duration of each scene or shot. This saves time in planning and prevents calculation errors. Changes? No problem – the shooting schedule updates immediately, so your schedule always stays up to date.
