Content Calendar

What this is about

Read from a production seat, the calendar answers a question marketing did not ask: how few shoot days can produce all of this? Twelve monthly posts rarely need twelve shoots; clustered by location, crew and wardrobe they often collapse into two or three days, which is where corporate video budgets are genuinely saved. Two things resist clustering — dated events and product launches — so mark those first. Then check the lead times, because calendars built without production input tend to leave one week for something whose approval chain alone needs two.

A term only helps when everyone on set means the same thing by it — so what follows is how it is used, not a dictionary definition.

What runs differently here

Where this differs from the general case:

• Cluster by location, crew and wardrobe — twelve posts often fit into two or three shoot days
• Mark the dated items first: launches and events do not move to suit a shoot plan
• Measure the lead time against the approval chain, not against the edit time alone

With TillyGen

TillyGen turns a list of planned pieces into clustered shoot days with the setups each one actually needs.

Change one constraint and the consequences travel through the whole plan: affected shots are flagged, the call sheet is regenerated, and nobody keeps working from yesterday's version.
