AI agent for videographers
Shoot Day Call Sheet Agent
A conflict-free shoot plan and call sheet sent on time
What it does
A shoot day only works if locations, light, people and gear all line up. This agent turns the client brief and shot list into a schedule grouped by location and light. It checks sunrise and sunset times, the weather forecast, location access hours and permit needs. It then looks for conflicts, such as travel between locations eating the golden hour, or a missing permit. When it finds one, it reorders shots, adds a plan B or lists the permit to get, and checks again. It builds the gear list from the shots and drafts the call sheet. The videographer approves the call sheet before it goes to crew and client. The day before, it rechecks the weather. Edge case: if rain is forecast for exterior shots, it proposes an indoor alternative and flags it.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides
It groups shots by location and light needs, then flags any timing, travel or permit conflict. Exterior shots get a plan B when rain chance is above the set limit.
- Schedule exterior shots inside the needed light window
- Add a plan B when rain chance passes the limit
- Flag travel between locations longer than the set time
