Call Sheets for Student Films,
Done Like a Professional Set
Your thesis film has a crew of classmates, a location you got for one weekend, and nobody in the office because there is no office. G-Casper Pro gives the student AD a real call sheet, sent to everyone's phone, and a checklist that catches the blank hospital address before your instructor does.
Start Where Students Start
Free days to learn on, guides that explain the paperwork, and a sheet you can put in your portfolio.
Free shoot days
Every new production starts with 3 shoot days free. A short that shoots in a weekend fits inside that.

G-Casper, the free call sheet system on Google Sheets, needs no sign-up. When you outgrow it, G-Casper Pro imports it.

Plain guides to what a call sheet is, how to read one, what Day Out of Days means, and who does what between the 1st and 2nd AD.

The AD Control Panel lists what is missing: contacts, the nearest hospital, scenes with no cast. Each item has a Fix button.
