1Day 1 call sheet: key contacts, the crew call with shooting call, lunch and wraps, forecast, sea and tide, sunrise and light, the nearest ED and the weather call; the schedule by setup and scene with computed start times and a sunrise marker; four locations with access notes; three cast with pickup and H/MU worked back from on set; sixteen crew with offsets and calls; a safety line

When to use it.

Call Sheet is a spreadsheet for producers and assistant directors sending out the plan for a shoot day, whether a commercial, a music video or a brand film. The top holds the key contacts, the crew call in big type with the shooting call, lunch and wraps, plus the forecast, sea and tide, sunrise, the nearest emergency department and the weather call. Below sit the schedule by setup and scene, locations with access notes, cast pickups worked back from their on-set times, and the full crew list. Change the crew call or a line's minutes and every time updates.
