Production mapping

Everyone on the show, looking at the same map.

The live logistics map for film production. Sets, parking, base camps, rigging, camera setups, routes — all organized by schedule, in one place, on both desktop and mobile, no downloads needed. Your information is always current.

Not a screenshot. A real share link — what a driver opens at 5am, on a phone, with no account and nothing to install.

What actually goes wrong

Everyone is imagining a different day.

The picture

Everyone has a different idea of what’s going to happen in their head.

One person might have only part of the picture.

One map, and it’s the same one for everybody.

The clock

Things change rapidly, and not everyone is aware.

Sudden schedule shifts cause chaos and force changes.

Printed plans are dated by the time of execution.

Change it once, and the link everyone already has is already right.

The paperwork

Overheads, permits, traffic control plans, construction designs — the day is scattered across a dozen documents that were never meant to agree.

One place. Drop the permit and the site plan onto the map itself.

The stakes

We don’t own everything. A production has limited capacity to control the environment, and not everyone knows what is and isn’t possible.

A tent in the wrong spot, or a truck in a tow-away zone, is expensive.

Going outside the limits of a permit or a plan can endanger lives.

The limits are drawn on the map, where the people working inside them can see them.

Change it once. The whole production sees it.

The map

Every set, every layer.

Parking, base camp, working trucks, electric, police, restricted areas — organized the way your department already thinks.

A set open on satellite imagery — department layers down the left, labelled pins across the map, a police closure zone and a work-truck area marked out.
The board

A stripboard that knows the calendar.

Easily organize locations by shooting day and dates even with rapid production changes. Bookings and vendor schedules update as things change.

The stripboard panel beside the map — shoot days with their dates, each strip carrying its locations, day/night chips and drive mileage.
The schedule

When every place is in use, to the hour.

Plan and time equipment, security, police, and other vendors down to the minute with exact placements, always up to date.

The schedule wall chart — locations down the left, dates across the top, a prep/shoot/wrap band per location and one row per booking reading its hours.
Distribution

Always send the right information. Share only what you need and keep the rest private.

Send crew parking links to the crew, reserve parking links to the VIP, full overheads to executives and department keys, simplified links for background. You decide what to share and when.

Craft

Drawn the way you’d draw it on paper.

Ink on the ground — arrows, traffic flow, walk paths. Drop a site plan or a permit diagram onto the satellite and lock it down.

A set drawn on by hand — a lane closure marked along the street, a cart path, a keep-clear-for-picture area, security stamps and a rotated video village label.
Map service

Hundreds of productions. Any city on earth.

Daily call sheet maps, logistical overheads, reserve parking. Croatia on Thursday and Iceland on Monday. Or forty days in the Bronx.

Every map we draw carries live links back to the app, so the PDF on the call sheet and the map in the crew’s hand never fall out of step.

Who makes it

Built by a location manager, not a software company.

Every part of this exists because a real day went wrong without it. After 20 years in production, managing, and scouting, this is the exact tool we wish we had in our pocket along the way.

Where dreams meet the real world.
