For the people who actually make the thing.
Whether you’re one person with a treatment and a deadline or a company running five shows at once, Fieldnotes turns the notes you already have into a plan you can shoot. Weeks of pre-production, done in an afternoon.
The pre-production that used to eat weeks of late nights and spreadsheets, done in a single afternoon.
Which one are you?
The work looks different at every size. The starting point never changes: a rough idea and not enough time to prep it properly. Jump to yours.
Independent producers & directors
You are the whole crew until the shoot starts.
You develop it, pitch it, schedule it, and half the time shoot it too. Prep is the part that eats your nights, because there is no one to hand it to.
Fieldnotes is the department you don't have yet. Drop in the treatment, get back an outline, a breakdown, storyboards, and a schedule you can actually run. What took a week of solo grind takes an afternoon.
- No coordinator? No problem
- Look prepared in the pitch
- Nights back for the story
Creators
Your ambition outgrew the way you plan.
You started with a camera and an idea. Now there's a team, a calendar full of shoots, and money on the line. The scrappy planning that got you here starts to crack at scale.
Fieldnotes gives your output structure without slowing you down. Every project gets a real outline, storyboards, and a schedule, so your team walks onto set aligned. What used to take a week of prep now takes an afternoon, so you can take on bigger, more ambitious work without dropping the plates you're already spinning.
- Repeatable process, every shoot
- A team that shows up aligned
- Scale without the chaos
Established production companies
One standard, across your whole slate.
Across a slate, every show preps a little differently, and it shows on the day. You want a floor under the whole operation: consistent breakdowns, consistent boards, consistent books, no matter who's steering the project.
Fieldnotes standardizes the first mile of every production. Development stays creative and fast, and what comes out the other side looks like your company made it, every time. The prep that once took a producer weeks now lands in an afternoon, on every show, so your senior people spend their hours on the work only they can do.
- Consistent output across the slate
- Onboard new producers faster
- Senior time spent where it counts
Everyone deserves to walk on set with a plan.
One person or one hundred, the promise is the same. Bring the mess you already have. Leave with storyboards, a schedule, and a book your whole team can open. The story stays yours. The busywork stops being yours.
