Daily call sheet

[3] Call sheets also have information about cast transportation arrangements, parking instructions and safety notes.

A section on the front of the call sheet is usually dedicated to reminding department heads of the day's specific needs that go beyond the unit's usual tools and equipment – such as special crane rentals, special effects builds required, props and sets needing to be readied for the day and more.

While the history of call sheets is not well documented, the oldest artifacts being sold publicly date back to as early as 1941.

[citation needed] Modern call sheets are Excel-based and emailed as PDFs as well as printed and distributed on set.

The latest generation of call sheets is cloud-based, while emailed PDFs remain as the industry norm; paper copies on set have become rarer during the COVID-19 pandemic.
