Shamel Studio
Shamel Studio provides web tools for film and TV production scheduling, budgeting, call sheets, and production reports. Its scheduling tool can create an initial breakdown from a PDF script in under 20 seconds, then organize work with a stripboard, scene breakdown, Day Out of Days reports, and conflict alerts. Scheduling data exports to PDF or Movie Magic Scheduling 6 and 10 formats. Budgeting can import shoot days, cast, locations, and other schedule elements, and automatically populate union and guild rates and fringes. Call sheets draw on schedule details and support weather forecasts, cast and crew call times, department notes, and PDF distribution. Production reports use call sheet data and offer customizable sections, fields, templates, time tracking, and PDF export. The site currently supports PDF scripts; other formats such as FDX are in development. Properly formatted scripts in several Latin-alphabet languages, including Spanish and French, can be processed. Free access is free and allows one project. Scheduling and Budgeting each cost $23/user/mo (annual); the combined plan is $45/user/mo (annual).
