MOVE ShowPlanner streamlines film and television show scheduling for crew members with ease. It provides a breakdown of the schedule, making it simpler for everyone involved in the production process.
The software has some palpable features that include schedules integrated with call sheets and production reports, visually superior graphics that use icons and a variety of shapes and colors to communicate what is being shot when, as well as a robust calendar that enables the scheduling of prep and post. It also has a "TimeOut" feature that allows users to track how many hours each scene will take. The developers of CompanyMOVE have shown a commitment to regular improvement through the development of new features and the release of free updates every month.
The software limitations are that the trial version expires in 10 days, and the new schedule lock feature is unavailable.
There are several noteworthy features included in the latest release of this software, including a commercial shooting schedule report that displays storyboards in each scene's breakdown. The release also includes a new "Thin Strips" schedule view and printable report that allows users to see twice as much information in the same area, improved design options, and more flexibility to add, delete, and modify departments and jobs for call sheets, production reports, and the crew list. Additionally, an enhanced calendar makes it easy to jump around dates and display sets and locations scheduled for shoot days. The software also now includes mini-calendars for easy reference.
Other improvements include the ability to override automatic formatting by holding down the Control key while tabbing out of a field, the Find/Replace feature now works with breakdown sheets, and users can drag icons to the right side of the schedule screen to preserve entered notes.
Overall, CompanyMOVE appears to be a sophisticated and versatile software package that has numerous valuable features for people in the film and television industry.
