Shooting Schedule Software: Stripboard, Built From Your Breakdown
The Story Maker generates a full stripboard and Day-Out-of-Days (DOOD) shooting schedule directly from your script breakdown — the same tagged cast, locations, and elements, sequenced into a shootable order, without you re-entering a single scene into a separate scheduling tool.
What's included
Stripboard logic, without the manual re-entry
Group scenes by location and cast availability, reorder for shoot-day efficiency, and see day-out-of-days status for every cast member — all generated from the breakdown you already have, editable like a real stripboard once it's built.
Connects to locations and equipment planning
A locked schedule feeds directly into Locations & Recce and Camera & Equipment planning, so the shoot-day grouping that drives your schedule also drives what gear and locations get booked for which days.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a script breakdown before I can generate a schedule?
Yes — the shooting schedule is built from your script breakdown's tagged cast, locations, and scene elements, so a breakdown needs to exist first (it's automatic, not a separate manual step).
Can I still edit the schedule by hand once it's generated?
Yes — the generated stripboard and DOOD schedule are fully editable, the same as a schedule you'd build manually.
