Shoot statistics
ShootHive gives the organization owner one dashboard for the whole shoot picture: how busy the studio is, where the money goes, and what needs attention right now. It reads the shoots, budgets, and crew you already track, so there's no separate reporting to keep up.
What it shows
The page opens with headline numbers — shoots, shoot-days, planned versus actual spend, how many are over budget, what's upcoming, and what's outstanding — each with the change against the previous period.
A requires-attention list surfaces the shoots with a gap to close: no producer or budget, crew not confirmed before the shoot date, past shoots missing a signed release, work stuck in post-production, and overdue payments.
Activity, money, and breakdowns
Trend views show shoots over time, a split by status, and the load for the next two weeks. The money view covers planned, actual, and paid totals, cost per shoot-day, cost per photo, and where the spend goes.
Breakdowns show who and what drives volume and cost — by producer, client, type, and country — alongside a people-and-handoff view covering the models, photographers, and crew behind the work.
Period and filters
Pick a period — 7, 30, or 90 days, or the current month — and narrow by shoot type, project, or producer. Every number updates to match, while the requires-attention lists always show the current situation, whatever period is selected.
Key terms
- Shoot-day
- One day of shooting. A shoot that runs over several days counts as several shoot-days.
- Planned vs actual spend
- What a shoot was budgeted to cost, next to what it has cost so far.
- Requires attention
- Shoots with a gap to close — a missing producer or budget, unconfirmed crew, an unsigned release, or an overdue payment.
- Cost, not profit
- The dashboard reports spend and budgets. Revenue is tracked per project, so profit and loss lives there.
Common questions
Who can see shoot statistics?
The organization owner. It spans every shoot and every amount across the organization, so it stays with the owner.
Do I have to enter data for it?
No. It reads the shoots, budgets, and crew you already track — there's no separate reporting step.
Does it show profit?
No. It reports cost and budgets. Revenue is tracked per project, so profit and loss lives with the project, not here.
