The New Call Sheet Industry Standard

Casper was created in 2013 by Michael Williams, Paul Silver, and Elion Olson - Excel-based call sheet templates that became the foundation of many top ADs' workflows. Casper earned its place on set, but a spreadsheet can only do so much. It cannot read a shooting schedule, auto-draft call times, merge schedule changes, or send SMS notifications. G-Casper Pro is the next step: a production platform built from the ground up that carries forward what made Casper work, then adds the automation that Excel never could. Learn more about the team on our about page.

Your shooting schedule drives automation across the platform:

• Auto-Draft Cast Call Times - Calculates Call, Makeup, On-Set, and Lose At times from scene order and page-based duration estimates
• Schedule Versioning & Non-Destructive Re-Import - Re-import updated Movie Magic schedules without losing call sheet data. A 4-step wizard detects scene movements and merges safely
• Multi-Day Auto Call Sheet Generation - Import your schedule once and call sheets for every shoot day are created automatically
• Banner Strips from Schedule Import - Color-coded scene strips with locations and page counts, built from your schedule
• Movie Magic 10 Import - First tool to import from MMS 10 without custom report formats
• Movie Magic PDF Import Methodology - A proprietary matching engine that marries two standard PDFs into a high-fidelity import, compatible across all MMS versions
• USS: The Universal Schedule Standard - Native support for the open schedule interchange format pioneered by ThinkCrew
• Google Sheets Interoperability - Export schedules and breakdowns directly to Google Sheets with live sync and update - a world first for call sheet software

Two of the most time-intensive daily tasks, automated:

• SAG & Minor Auto-Drafted Call Times - Drafts compliant call and wrap times based on union rules
• Automatic Background Scheduling - Assigns BG to scenes and aggregates food restrictions and meal counts

Multiple tools to eliminate repetitive crew data entry:

• Department Speed Schedule - One call time per department, applied to every member
• Crew DOOD Checkbox Scheduling - Assign work days by clicking checkboxes on the DOOD grid
• Crew DOOD View - Unified Day Out of Days across all shoot days
• Bulk Copy Crew Calls - Copy call times from one day to multiple future days
• Relative & Offset Call Times - Crew times as offsets from the general call. Change the call, every offset updates
• Call Time Wheel - Visual clock interface for setting times with drag precision

Catch errors before the call sheet goes out:

• AD Control Center - Real-time readiness dashboard showing what is complete, missing, or needs attention
• Call Sheet Warnings Overlay - Visual flags on the call sheet preview pinpointing issues
• Hot Cost Calculator - Real-time overtime cost projections that update as the day progresses
• SMS Opt-In Compliance - Built-in TCPA/10DLC compliant opt-in management

Details that reduce cognitive load:

• G-Matrix Scene Color System - Automatic color coding for every INT/EXT and Day/Night combination
• 20-Hour Granular Weather - Hourly forecasts from pre-call through wrap

Most of these features are not available through other call sheet tools - yet. All are live in the G-Casper Pro Private Beta. This list will keep growing.
