More time for creativity

Organise your daily tasks with customizable tools for all creative departments. The costume, production design, makeup, location scouting and casting departments are always linked to the current and latest version of scenes, the break-down, the call sheet and the shooting schedule. This ensures you always get the correct information about the current DOODs (day-out-of-days). Avoid confusion, duplication of effort and endless lists and emails; with Yamdu, everyone can focus on the information that really matters.

“Very successful production period! This was made possible in no small part through the use of Yamdu which, although we came to it quite late in pre-production, was an invaluable resource in allowing us to organise and co-ordinate multiple departments and dozens of cast and crew members across the film. We found it especially useful in organising our casting and our locations, along with some planning and comms.”
— Nick Woolgar, Producer, The Haunted Hotel, United Kingdom

"Movie making involves complex and overarching teamwork. The communication via e-mail is obsolete and dates back to the last century. When someone has the wrong production plan, an old draft of the script or an incomplete call sheet on him, that’s when nothing can beat Yamdu. In addition to that there are controlling features fantastic to use for executive producers. It’s a pleasure to watch Yamdu constantly grow and become a powerful tool for cinema and TV movies."
— Oliver Schündler, CEO & Producer, Lucky Bird Pictures, Germany

Argh!

Less on your mind with your database

Yamdu is a self-generating database. From the first shared ideas in pre-production to the completion of the project, a production team create thousands of records. Your individual company database allows you to save all the key information from past projects. Crew members, actors, agencies, locations and clients can be used again and again during any of your company’s future projects. The more you work with Yamdu, the more time Yamdu will save for you.

Yamdu offers unique features, like the ability to tag and select episodes and shooting blocks in order to see only what you are working on at the moment. The tagging of objects and files is carried out via the script import based on the episodes. Transform every individual project into a pilot episode of a series and turn your project into a whole season with just one click. As the universe of your plot grows, so does your structured knowledge database in Yamdu.

The alternative to paper

Have you ever calculated how many reams of paper and ink cartridges you use during a production? Of course there are some things you will want to print out, but does every small change within a project have to result in new print-outs of staff lists, shooting schedules or break-downs? By using Yamdu you save money and help the environment at the same time.

We are there for you

Behind every software there are real people. We understand how difficult it can be to convince teams to use new workflows. Our extensive tutorials and introductions are adjusted to the specific requirements of departments to help convey the most important information to your team in a clear and compact way. Let your crew focus on the things relevant to them. Getting you and your team started as smoothly as possible is key for us.
