Stripboard
aka Production board · Production strip board
A vertical strip per scene colour-coded by INT/EXT and DAY/NIGHT, arranged into shoot days so the production can be scheduled by location and time-of-day clusters.
The stripboard is the visual scheduling tool every 1st AD lives in. Each strip is one scene. The colour codes the strip by interior/exterior and time of day: white for INT/DAY, yellow for EXT/DAY, blue for INT/NIGHT, green for EXT/NIGHT. ADs cluster strips by location and time so the company can shoot day-for-day efficiently. StoryboardCanvas Calendar ships a full digital stripboard with drag-to-reorder, location clustering, day-banner inserts, and AI day-order optimisation that reads cast availability and location windows before suggesting a sequence.
