What is this?

During pre-production for video/film projects, making gear lists is time-consuming. I created ShootDrop as a simple, easy-to-use tool to quickly create gear lists.

Features

Drops

A drop is tied to a shoot in the real world, it serves as the home for all gear-related info pertaining to the shoot.

• Collaborators can be added here. They can edit any lists attached to the drops they're on.
• The URL is publically sharable for everyone on the production to stay up to date.
• Overview of all list items - giving you an idea of the shoot at a glance.
• PDF Generation to easily print and share with production teams.

Lists

A list is tied to a drop, it consists of Gear Items in a particular category (either camera, lighting, grips or sound).

• Comments and preferences can be added for each list item.
• Last edited by with time and user to keep track of who added what.

Gear

• Categories (grips/lighting/camera/sound)
• Tagging for easy filtering. Tags are either generic (eg: cable) or tied to categories (eg: lens or recorder)
• Preferences (eg: Lens Mount or Power Solution)

• NextJS (React)
• TailwindCSS
• Apollo Client (GraphQL client and state management library)
