The pipeline

Where Shoot sits in the production flow.

The on-set operational brain. Shoot tracks the 16-department crew roster + the 13-category gear inventory + every checkout/checkin chain on set. Daily call sheet, daily diary, and daily wrap report all read from it. Department gap-checks flag the moment a scene's requirements aren't covered.

Run the unit

The whole floor, one source of truth.

The unit pulls from a single plan: who is on, what kit is rigged, what the risk assessment says for the setup in front of them. The floor stops chasing five different group chats for the same answer.

DollyAI™ in this app

AI commands wired into Shoot.

A few of the 200+ DollyAI commands across the suite, here in Shoot. Every one shows its credit cost before you commit, and every response is anchored in your real project - not a generic prompt.

Safety brief

3 cr

Reads the day's scenes and surfaces the actual hazards - stunts, weapons, vehicles, animals, water - with the OSHA / CFR risk class and the mitigation steps.

Crew gap check

2 cr

Compares today's call sheet against the script's department requirements and flags the missing crew ('this scene needs a key grip + a gaffer; only the gaffer is on call').

Kit gap check

2 cr

Same for equipment - flags missing gear before the day starts, not at lunch.

Day-plan optimiser

4 cr

Re-shuffles the day for weather, location, and cast availability - surfaces the better order with a one-line explanation per move.

Predictive overrun

3 cr

Reads yesterday's actuals + today's call sheet + outputs a Solid / Watch / High-risk pill with specific overrun minutes.

Frequently asked

Common questions about Shoot.

Does Shoot track gear by serial number?

Yes. Every gear item carries serial number, owner, condition, current status (in / on hold / checked out / missing) and a per-item checkout chain with timestamp + receiver + expected return + condition at handover.

Can the AI suggest a department's standard kit?

Yes - crew → equipment kit suggestions surface the industry-standard rig per department. Gaffer's standard rig, DIT's standard cart, Sound mixer's standard bag - one click to add the whole kit.

Does the safety brief use real hazard categorisation?

Yes. The AI reads the day's scenes + surfaces hazards by OSHA / CFR risk class - stunts, weapons, vehicles, animals, water - with the canonical mitigation steps. Not a generic prompt.

Can the gap-check actually catch missing crew?

Yes - it compares today's call sheet against the script's department requirements (extracted by the breakdown) and flags exactly which key + grip + gaffer + sound + camera roles are missing before the day starts.
