The features of The Reel Production Calendar were specifically designed to
provide a wealth of time saving and powerful scheduling features
for Film and Television Production.
- Easily Create & Organize:
Quickly and easily create and organize all your production related events,
tasks & reminders. Create your own custom folder list and organize key
production information like locations, shooting days and more and keep
separate from department or personal schedules.
- Auto Expanding Events & Views:
Most calendar software can't handle the number of events even the smallest film production
need to track. Reel Production Calendar software is designed to handle the larger scheduling needs
of productions and will automatically adjust the size of events and views to accommodate as
much text or as many events as you need to display.
- Extensive Calendar Views:
Reel Logix Production Calendar offers 13 views for display and printing,
including unique views you won't find in other calendars or scheduling
software. Choose from: 1,2,3 and 4 Weeks, a Scalable Day View
and 1,2,3,4,6,8,9 and 12 Month Views. Get just the snapshot you need
of your production schedule.

is adjusted days off are automatically skipped making sure you schedule remains accurate.

on as many days or in as many locations as needed. Easily locate the resource
anywhere in your calendar using search or go to.

many times as needed.
- Detailed Notes:
With the Reel Production Calendar you can attach detailed notes with rich text
formatting to any day or event. Add detailed information about locations, schedules,
contact information or special instructions. Add unique notes to each event or attach
a note that will be automatically added when the event is scheduled. Great for
information that cannot be forgotten. Print detailed notes reports with each calendar
that only print notes for the events you choose.
- Easily Adjust to Schedule Changes:
A major drawback of calendars has always been the inability to easily
adjust to schedule changes. The Reel Production Calendar was created to handle the rapid changes
encountered on film productions. If the schedule changes you can push an entire calendar, just a
section or just a set of events by days, weeks, months or years in seconds. Schedule your available
days and watch the software automatically adjust your schedule around them.
- Auto Count Production Weeks:
The Reel Production Calendar's weekly count feature allows you to create banners that will
automatically count weeks worked and display this in the calendar. Great for tracking pre weeks,
shoot weeks, post, director edit weeks, rentals, staff durations and more.

re-scheduled as well. Ideal for keeping track of prep work needed in advance of
certain events or breakdowns needed after.

Banners counting weeks will automatically skip hiatus periods.

of events, font, color and more. Create just the look you want and size
and position events just the way you need to to so you can create exactly the
calendar you need to.
