How can a schedule and breakdown help me?
A well-prepared schedule & breakdown offer more than just an overview; they illuminate the details that may impact your budget, timeline, casting, locations, and other crucial variables. By providing clarity and perspective, they help you make informed decisions that contribute to your project's success.
What software do you use?
I use Movie Magic Scheduling. I can also schedule in Studio Binder (have to add me as a team member).
Do I need to have the Movie Magic program?
You do not need to have/use/purchase Movie Magic.
In what format will I receive files?
I'll send all your files in PDF format, making them easy to access and share.
Are my project details kept confidential?
Your script and all information tied with the project remain confidential. For your peace of mind, feel free to provide me with an NDA (non disclosure agreement) to sign.Your script and all information tied with the project remain confidential.
Can you provide a schedule without a screenplay?
While feature & short films typically necessitate a traditional script, other forms such as music videos, branded content, and documentaries often do not require one. All I require are the specifics of your project and any accompanying materials, such as a shot list or storyboard if available.
Can I get major revision(s) beyond the original scope of work?
It is important to note that significant revisions will incur additional charges and may necessitate a few extra days for me to thoroughly revise the schedule.
What information do you need from me?
a) A properly formatted script, in PDF format, with scene headings & scene numbers intact
b) Any relevant information/considerations that may impact the schedule, allowing me to factor them in. If you're unsure about specific scheduling requirements, that's perfectly okay. I can proceed without
What happens after an order is placed?
We'll discuss your scheduling preferences & requirements. You'll then send your script & any additional relevant info, and I'll begin breakdown/scheduling. If any issues arise during the process, we'll address them as necessary.
Is the schedule you've prepared, a preliminary 1st draft or a finalized version ready for film production?
What I provide is a 1st draft shoot schedule. If you have not scheduled your project before, having a 1st draft is a good way to see if your production is doable. As you gather more information, the schedule may evolve, so I provide a 1st draft to start. We can refine it together as needed before locking the final version.
