Welcome
Pictures Up runs a small film studio’s shoots from one place: productions and their plans, shot lists, locations, call sheets and tasks, crew and gear, an encrypted media library with review and client sharing, paperwork and talent releases, and a Shoot day mode that works on a phone with no signal.
Each article takes one part of the app: what it is for and how to do the main jobs, step by step. The screenshots come from Lantern Bay Pictures, an invented studio.

How do you use Pictures Up?
Pick the path that fits your role. Most studios have all three.
Who does what
Pictures Up has four roles. The docs say which role a step needs when it matters.
| Role | What they can do |
|---|---|
| Admin | Everything, including money, settings, members and invites. |
| Editor | Build and run productions: plan, crew, gear, media, review and sharing. No money, no studio settings. |
| Viewer | Look at media and schedules. Nothing changes. |
| Crew | Their own call times, Shoot day, the schedule and their own kit, on the productions they are booked on. |
Money means day rates, kit fees, rental totals and deal memos. Only admins see it, and an admin can hide it from their own screen with the “View as” switch on any production.
