Spreadsheets don't understand production

Most creative production calendars still live across spreadsheets, PDFs and email. Every change spawns another version and no one knows which file is current. Calendar by unabase keeps the production calendar live, collaborative and ready to export as a polished PDF whenever you need a formal version.

Calendar by unabase pairs the familiarity of a classic calendar with the logic of a real production: stages, dependencies, working days, and key dates, all in one place, always in sync and shared with your team.

Here's what working in Calendar by unabase looks like

Working days, dependencies, and key dates

Every event knows whether it counts weekends and holidays. Move one and dependencies recalculate themselves. Flag key dates and filter by department.

Your brand, your language, your team

Upload your logo, pick Spanish or English, set the date format and weather cities, and invite your team. Everything carries your organization's identity.

Your brand, your language, your team

Everything a generic calendar can't do

Business days vs. Calendar days

Set each event to count weekends and holidays as workdays or not; dates calculate themselves.

Shift the whole calendar at once

Need to push everything back or forward? No moving events one by one, it all rearranges automatically.

Event dependencies

Move one and the rest recalculates on its own.

Daily and Monthly views

A month-by-month, day-by-day calendar, plus a daily calendar to organize events hour by hour.

Your own templates

Start from a proven structure or build your own.

Holidays and weather built in

By city, inside the same calendar.

Color-coded stages

Spot every phase of your production at a glance.

Internal events

They live in your calendar but never show up in the PDFs you share with clients.

Mark events as done

Keep track of what's already wrapped.

Team editing and versions

Your whole team can edit, version, and download the calendar.

Clean, good-looking prints, in Draft (watermarked) or official version.

Frequently asked questions

What is a film production schedule?

A film production schedule organizes key production dates, shoot days, prep, locations, departments, daily schedules and delivery milestones. Calendar by unabase helps creative teams build and share these schedules in one collaborative workspace.

Is Calendar by unabase only for feature films?

No. It is especially useful for commercials, photo shoots, branded content, social videos, agency projects, events and smaller film or video productions that need a clear production calendar without a heavy scheduling system.

How is it different from complex film scheduling software?

Many film tools are built around script breakdowns, stripboards, cast scheduling and call sheets. Calendar by unabase focuses on a simpler need: live production calendars, daily schedules, shareable links and professional PDF exports.

Can I use it for commercial and photo production?

Yes. Commercial and photo teams use it to plan prep, shoot days, casting, fittings, approvals, travel, client reviews, retouching and delivery dates.

Is this manufacturing or industrial production scheduling software?

No. Calendar by unabase is not for factories, manufacturing or industrial operations. It is built for creative production teams in film, commercials, photography, content, events and advertising.

Can I export and share the production calendar?

Yes. Export clean, professional PDFs (Draft or official) and share live calendar links with clients, agencies and crew so everyone sees the latest version.
