But here’s the thing most filmmakers figure out about three days into their shoot.
Templates are great for planning.
They fall apart on set.
When the schedule shifts at 6am, the DP is asking about the shot order, and your laptop is in the van — you don’t want a spreadsheet. You want something you can open, mark, and hand to someone in ten seconds.
That’s what the Thoolie Collective is. No a replacement for your templates — the thing that takes over when templates stop being practical.
Use the free templates to plan. Bring the pads to set.
| Free Templates — best for | The Collective Notepads — best for |
|---|---|
| Pre-production planning | Active shooting days |
| Building your schedule at a desk | Tracking changes in real time on set |
| Sharing with collaborators digitally | Your AD kit, producer bag, or back pocket |
| backup and archiving | When the laptop isn’t an option |
Why These Exist
Every filmmaker has been there.
You’re on set. The schedule just changed. Someone needs to know if the lead actor is still needed on Day 4, whether the shot list accounts for the new location, and what the call time is for tomorrow — all at once, all right now.
You reach for your laptop. The file is in three places. The battery is at 11%. Someone is already asking you a question.
The Thoolie Collective was built for that moment.
These aren’t generic notepads with a film logo on the cover. Every pad in the Collective was designed from the ground up using our team’s years of real production experience — field by field, layout by layout — to match how sets actually operate. Structured enough for professionals. Clear enough for first-timers.
Printed on premium paper with a clean, minimal design accented in Thoolie’s signature purple. Tearaway sheets so nothing lingers when the day is done.
The Full Collective
Every tool in the Collective is available individually or as a bundle. All pads are tearaway sheets on premium paper, 40 sheets each.

Before You Shoot — Protect What You’re Building
The Collective gets your set organized. But before cameras roll, make sure your production is legally protected too.
Thoolie’s lawyer-drafted contracts cover actor agreements, crew agreements, location releases, work-for-hire, and everything else your production needs to be distribution-ready from day one.
