What MoviePrepper is
MoviePrepper is web-based film production software for organizing work from script breakdown through scheduling and production reports. It covers stripboards, department preparation, call sheets, sides, budgets, actuals, and reports. Teams can import PDF scripts, review revisions, and preserve breakdown work for scenes that still match. Its script processing identifies scenes and scripted characters; users add other requirements such as props, wardrobe, vehicles, background, and equipment. Scheduling tools include availability warnings, scene timings, Day Out of Days, department DOODs, a boneyard, and alternate schedules. Breakdown information flows into the stripboard, shooting schedule, sides, call sheet, and production report. Downloadable outputs include schedules, call sheets, sides, breakdowns, budgets, reports, and shot-list spreadsheets. The software is aimed at productions ranging from vertical dramas and indie films to commercials, music videos, documentaries, features, and episodic work with lean crews. Plans are one-time payments per production: Prep is free, Short Form costs 39.00 USD once, Indie costs 149.00 USD once, and Studio costs 499.00 USD once.
