A shoot is one event
On the company calendar, a shoot carries the client, call time, crew and roles, brief, equipment, transport, location link, attachments and a checklist. Assigned people are notified.
For production houses
The operating system for production houses
Every shoot day in one event: call time, crew, equipment.
Agency Root gives a production house one branded app for shoot scheduling, crew attendance and the real cost of every job.
- Shoot events on the calendar
- Attendance on location
- Freelancers and transport in job cost
- Pricing per shoot day
The problem
The call sheet lives in five messages
- Details change in different chats. Call time in one, location in another.
- Crew and equipment are booked from memory. Clashes show up on the morning of the shoot.
- The job looked profitable. Then freelancers and transport were counted.
What you get
What Agency Root does for a production house
Attendance that knows about shoots
Crew clock in from the phone with a status that fits the day: office, remote, client site or shoot. More than one approved work location is supported. Freelancers can appear in the organization chart as resources without a full employee record.
The real cost of a job
Client profitability subtracts labor, freelancers, production and transportation from the client's revenue, so you see what a job really earned. Included in Agency Growth and Agency Scale.
Prices in the units you sell
The service catalog supports pricing per shoot day, per video, per reel or per episode. Cost-based pricing suggests a price from crew, freelancers, production, travel and overhead. Included in Agency Growth and Agency Scale.
Quotations, proposals and pricing
Example: the location moves the night before. The shoot event is updated once, and everyone assigned opens the same details.
Questions
Common question
Is Agency Root production scheduling software?
It schedules shoots on the company calendar with the details a crew needs. It is not a full project-management suite.
