Spec score 8.6 #3 of 24 in Film Production Scheduling Software

What it is

MoviePrepper is web-based film production software for organizing work from script breakdown to schedules, call sheets, budgets, and production reports. Teams can import PDF scripts, review revisions, and retain breakdown work for scenes that still match. Script processing identifies scenes and scripted characters; users add production requirements such as props, wardrobe, vehicles, background, and equipment. Scheduling includes availability warnings, scene timings, Day Out of Days, department DOODs, a boneyard, and alternate schedules. Breakdown information carries into stripboards, shooting schedules, sides, call sheets, and reports. Users can download those materials, along with budgets and shot-list spreadsheets. MoviePrepper is aimed at productions including vertical dramas, indie films, commercials, music videos, documentaries, features, and episodic projects with lean crews. Prep costs nothing, billed one-time per production, and allows 2 shoot days, 8 cast and crew, and 512 MB of media storage. Paid one-time per-production tiers are Short Form at 39.00 USD, Indie at 149.00 USD, and Studio at 499.00 USD. Upgrades credit amounts already paid and keep production records intact.
