Production Reports Overview

What the daily production report records in G-Casper Pro, where each half lives, and what reads from it once it is filled in.

Two Tabs, One Report

G-Casper Pro splits the daily production report across two tabs. Both follow the day you have selected in the app, and both are on every plan, AD included.

TabWhat it records
PR FrontScenes shot in shot order, script figures, the day's times from Shooting Call to Last Man, film and media, cast worktime, stand-ins and background
PR BackCrew IN, OUT and MPV by department, the transportation table, and Notes / Remarks

It Starts From the Call Sheet

Open PR Front or PR Back on a day and the report already has that day's call sheet in it: the scenes, the cast, the background groups, the crew by department, the crew call and the meals. Drafted values show in grey italic until somebody types over them. Edits on the report stay on the report and never touch the call sheet.

Tip: Leave Lock after shoot day switched on in the sidebar. Once the day is over the report stops syncing from the call sheet, so later call sheet edits can't change it.

Day and Total Production

The view bar at the top of both tabs switches between Day, the current report, and Total Production, a wall of mini reports for the whole show. Total Production shows which days are complete and which still owe a first shot, a wrap time or an OUT. Click one to open the missing cells.

What Reads From the Report

The PR Back times drive the money side. Hot Costs turns IN, OUT and MPV into hours, overtime and meal penalty costs. The Producer Dashboard counts Reports filed and flags the days still owed. Blank OUT times make both read low.

A $700 day buys the 12-hour day, so it works out to $50/hr. Drivers are budgeted at 14 hours.

Printing

Print sits at the top of the sidebar on each tab. Screen-only helpers stay off the page: error flags, roster change flags, the drag handles and the row buttons.
