About

The Shotlist

Read full description

The Shotlist is the all in one workspace for photography and videography businesses. Take any shoot from the first plan to the final delivery, with your events, shotlists, crew, schedule and client files all in one place. Built for the field, on iPhone and iPad. Stop juggling spreadsheets, group chats and scattered folders. The Shotlist connects your plan, your team and your delivery so nothing slips on the day. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Build events and plan every shoot end to end • Create shotlists and tick off every frame as you capture it • Assign crew with clear roles and permissions, so everyone sees what they need • Run the day with a timeline of stages, slots and set lists • Set deadlines and deliver files straight into organised Dropbox folders • Open events to freelancers with applications, then accept in a tap • Keep the team aligned with built in chat and a shared knowledge base • Works offline on set and syncs the moment you are back online BUILT FOR PHOTO AND VIDEO TEAMS Whether you shoot stills, video or both, The Shotlist fits how you actually work: weddings, events, festivals, commercial and editorial. Invite your whole crew, control access, and deliver to clients without leaving the app. DELIVERY THAT IS PART OF THE PLAN Connect Dropbox once. Every crew member's uploads route into the right folders automatically, named your way, so handing off the finished work is just another step in the same workflow. Frame every shot. Plan every event. Check it off the list. Questions or feedback? We would love to hear from you.
