StudioBinder

What is StudioBinder?

StudioBinder is a cloud-based production management platform for video, TV and film teams that covers planning from script breakdown to the shoot day. It replaces spreadsheets and paper call sheets with connected schedules, shot lists and communication tools.

Key features of StudioBinder

• Scheduling: builds stripboard shooting schedules that sort by location and time of day, with alternate schedules.
• Call sheets: auto-fills weather, location, cast and nearest hospital, and tracks delivery, views and confirmations.
• Shot lists: plan shots with presets and a shot list tagger.
• Storyboards: annotate imagery for each shot.
• Script tools: screenwriting, script breakdowns and script sides.
• Planning tools: mood boards, task boards, production calendars, contacts and a media library.

How StudioBinder works

You import or write a script, tag elements in the breakdown, and generate a schedule from it. Shot lists and storyboards feed the plan, and call sheets are generated from the schedule and sent by email or text with delivery tracking.

Who uses StudioBinder?

The vendor says more than 1.5 million production companies and brands use it, with testimonials from small business, mid-market and enterprise teams in marketing, digital media and interactive entertainment, including a producer at Blizzard.
