FREE SHOOTING SCHEDULE
Order the shoot before
you order the equipment.
Storyflow is a free AI canvas where you lay out your scenes as visual strips, group them by location and day, and draft the whole shooting schedule from your scene list. The breakdown and call sheets sit on the same board, so when the order changes, the rest of the plan keeps up. No download, no credit card.

What is a shooting schedule?
A shooting schedule is the plan for the order scenes are filmed in, which is almost never the order they appear in the story. Instead of shooting the film start to finish, you group scenes by what is most efficient to capture together: everything at one location before you move, all of an actor's scenes while they are on set, day exteriors before the light goes, and night interiors when the schedule allows. Getting this order right is what keeps a production on time and on budget.
The schedule is built from the script breakdown, where each scene has been tagged with its location, cast, page count, and day or night. The traditional tool for this is a stripboard: a strip of colored card for every scene that you slide up and down until the order works, then break into shoot days. Software like Movie Magic Scheduling turned the physical stripboard into a digital one, and production suites bundle a scheduler alongside the breakdown and call sheets.
Storyflow gives you a faster, more visual way to plan the schedule for free. It is an AI-native infinite canvas, so each scene becomes a card you can drag into order, group into days, and rearrange as constraints change, all in your browser. Point the AI at your scene list and it drafts an initial order grouped by location and day, giving you a real starting point to react to instead of a blank stripboard.
Because the canvas holds the whole plan, the schedule does not live apart from everything it affects. The script breakdown that feeds it and the call sheets that come out of it sit on the same board, so moving a scene to a different day is one change in one place. When you are ready, share a view-only link with the AD and producer or export the schedule as a clean PDF for the production office.
HOW IT WORKS
From scene list to shoot days in four steps.
No stripboard to set up by hand. The AI drafts the order and you refine it visually.
01
Open a free canvas
Sign up in seconds, no credit card. Your infinite canvas opens in the browser, ready to lay out the schedule.
02
Add your scenes or paste the breakdown
List the scenes with their location, cast, and day or night, or paste your script breakdown. The AI turns them into scene cards on the board.
03
Let the AI draft the order
The AI groups scenes by location and day into a first-pass schedule. Drag cards to adjust for cast availability, light, and company moves until the order works.
04
Break into days and share
Split the schedule into shoot days, generate the call sheets beside it, and share a view-only link or export a PDF for the crew.
A schedule you can see and move.
Scene strips, day groupings, the breakdown, and the call sheets on one canvas instead of locked inside a desktop scheduler.
AI drafts the schedule order from your scenes
Start from a real first pass
Paste your scene list or breakdown and the AI groups scenes by location and day into an initial shooting order. Reorder by dragging, no building the schedule from scratch.

Drag scene cards into the order that shoots
Reorder the day with your hands
Every scene is a card you can drag between days, group by location, and stack in shooting order. Rearranging the plan is a visual move, not a spreadsheet edit.

The breakdown that feeds the schedule, right there
Schedule from the breakdown, not from memory
Keep the script breakdown on the same board so each scene's location, cast, and page count travels with its card. Change a scene's tag and the schedule reflects it, no re-entering detail elsewhere.

Call sheets and a shareable schedule
Turn the schedule into shoot days
Break the plan into shoot days and generate a call sheet for each on the same board. Share a view-only link with the AD and producer, or export the schedule as a PDF.

BUILT FOR THE PLAN
A shooting schedule that stays connected to the shoot.
Storyflow is an AI-native canvas, so the schedule, the breakdown, and the call sheets share one board instead of exporting back and forth between apps.
Group by what actually drives the day
Order scenes the way a shoot really runs
Group by location and company moves: Cluster every scene at a location so you shoot it before you move, and lay out company moves in order so travel time is planned, not discovered on the day.
Group by cast and day or night: Keep an actor's scenes together while they are on set, and split day exteriors from night interiors to respect light and availability.
See page counts and setups per day: Lay page counts and estimated setups next to each day so you spot an overloaded day before it becomes a problem on set.
The AI keeps the whole plan in view
Reschedule without rebuilding
Draft the order from a prompt: Give the AI your scene list and constraints and it proposes a shooting order grouped by location and day, so you start from a considered draft, not an empty board.
Canvas-aware changes: Ask it to move a location to another day, add a pickup day, or compress the schedule and it rearranges the plan, keeping the scenes and their details intact.
One board for the whole shoot: Keep every shoot day, the breakdown, and the call sheets on one project board so the schedule is never disconnected from the plan it drives.
From schedule to the documents the crew uses
The schedule becomes the shoot day
Generate call sheets per day: Break the schedule into days and draft a call sheet for each, drawing call times and scenes straight from the plan so the two never drift apart.
View-only links for the team: Share a read-only link so the AD, DP, and producer follow the current schedule without editing it or needing an account.
Clean PDF export: Export the schedule as a print-ready PDF for the office or the on-set binder whenever you need a fixed version to hand out.
Works for the shape of your production
One approach, any format
Features, shorts, and series: Schedule a feature across weeks, a short over a weekend, or a series across blocks, matching the groupings to the size of the shoot.
Commercials and music videos: Plan a tight one or two day shoot with setups grouped by location and lighting, and share it with the agency or artist for sign-off.
Documentary and branded content: Order interview days, travel, and b-roll around subject availability, with the schedule beside the research and questions.

Shooting schedules, answered.
What ADs and producers ask about scheduling shoots in Storyflow.
A shooting schedule is the order scenes are filmed in, arranged for efficiency rather than story order. Scenes are grouped by location so you shoot everything at one place before moving, by cast so an actor's scenes are captured together, and by day or night to respect light and availability. It is built from the script breakdown and it feeds the daily call sheets. In Storyflow you build it as visual scene cards you drag into shoot days.
