You scouted it. Now the whole crew knows it.
You walked the place, so you know where the trucks park and which door the gaffer wants. Curtyn keeps one record per location: the photos, the pin, parking, power, the nearest hospital, the permit. The schedule and the call sheet read from it, so you write it down once.
One record. Everything about the place.
Open a location and the scout report unfolds top to bottom: the photos, the pin, then the fields a crew asks about on the morning of the shoot. Each one its own line, in one place, not a note buried in an email.
The questions you get at 6am, answered.
- Scout photos on the record; the first three lead the card so you know the place at a glance
- Type the address and save. The pin lands on the door, not the middle of the block
- The scout fields the day turns on: parking, load-in, holding, power, wifi and cell, restrooms, the nearest hospital, hazards, fee and hours, the permit, the local contact
A shoot doesn’t happen at one address.
It happens at the crew parking three streets over, the holding area, basecamp, the set entrance. Pin all of them around the location, then route a driver who has never been there through them in order.
Fourteen kinds of spot, one route.
- Ready-made spotsfor the day: parking, holding, hair & makeup, wardrobe, basecamp, catering, set and its entrance, equipment truck, generator, restrooms, hospital, evacuation point
- One tap builds a multi-stop Google Maps route through them all, in order
Write it once. It shows up on the call sheet.
The record you scouted doesn’t sit in a folder. Link a scene to a location, and the schedule shows the day’s location while the call sheet’s address block and map come from the same card. No retyping.
The script knows where it shoots.
- Each scene in the breakdown carries its own linked location
- The shoot day pulls forecast, sunrise, sunset and golden hourfrom the exact pin
- Honest limit: change the address and the pin re-drops to match it on save. Pin it by hand or from GPS and it stays exactly where you put it
The scout report, on their phone.
The director wants to see the place before the recce. A view-only link opens the photos, the pin and the fields on any phone, no login, so you send what you scouted instead of describing it.
What you scouted, nothing they can break.
- A link opens the address and the scout fields, read-only
- Tap through to directions in one step
