Production Planning

The world of film and video production is all about teamwork. The talented people— both on-screen and behind the scenes— that make up your cast and crew will bring your project to life. No matter what size your shoot is, keeping an organized list of everyone involved is important, but can be challenging. With the new Cast & Crew feature in your Celtx Studio, we set out to create a simple, all-in-one solution for keeping track of each and every person in your production.
