MoviePrepper is web-based film production software that carries planning from script breakdown into scheduling and production paperwork. It supports stripboards, department prep, call sheets, sides, budgets, actuals, and production reports. Teams can import PDF scripts, review revisions, and preserve breakdown work for scenes that remain unchanged. Script processing identifies scenes and scripted characters; users add 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 carries into stripboards, shooting schedules, sides, call sheets, and reports. Downloadable outputs include schedules, call sheets, sides, breakdowns, budgets, reports, and shot-list spreadsheets. The product is aimed at vertical dramas, indie films, commercials, music videos, documentaries, features, and episodic productions with lean crews. Plans are paid once per production: Prep is free, Short Form is 39.00 USD once, Indie is 149.00 USD once, and Studio is 499.00 USD once. Higher-tier upgrades credit previous payments and retain production records.
