How Do I Manage Photo and Video Shoots From Booking to Delivery?

You manage shoots by creating a record for each one with date, location, crew, equipment, permits, and shot list, and by tracking post-production until the final files are delivered to the client. On Jestor, this runs through a shoots table, Tasks, and a delivery Pipe.

A shoot involves many moving parts: talent, locations, equipment, and a tight schedule. A single missing item on the day can cost hours and money, and delays continue into editing and delivery.

What uncoordinated shoots cost

  • Missing equipment or permits discovered on the day
  • Crew members unsure of times and locations
  • Raw files lost or not backed up
  • Delivery dates missed during post-production

How shoot management works

  • Each shoot is a record with date, place, and crew
  • A checklist covers equipment, permits, and talent
  • The shot list and references are attached
  • Post-production stages track editing, review, and delivery
