Shoot planning FAQ
A checklist that understands creative production
Good shoot planning is about reducing avoidable failure. The assistant keeps gear choices tied to the job, the location, the deliverable, and what cannot be repeated.
What does the Shoot Planning Assistant do?
It turns a shoot brief into camera, lens, lighting, audio, stabilization, battery, storage, backup, checklist, and risk recommendations.
Does it use live weather or golden hour data?
Not yet. The current version has manual weather and time-of-day inputs, with placeholder hooks for weather APIs, golden hour timing, and location-aware planning.
Can it use my Gear Locker?
The tool is structured to connect to GearAtlas user collections later, so owned bodies, lenses, bags, batteries, and accessories can auto-fill the planner.
Are product suggestions exact shopping recommendations?
They are planning suggestions based on available GearAtlas product data, shoot requirements, compatibility, and common workflow needs. Confirm current pricing and availability before buying.
Can I print the checklist?
Yes. The assistant includes a print action so users can export the current packing checklist from the browser.
