Answer a few setup questions

SetHero then walks you through a short setup. Each screen asks one thing, and you click Next (or Looks good) to move on:

  1. Your Company Name and Company Website. If you're a freelancer or don't have a website, choose those options instead.

  2. The type(s) of productions your company makes and roughly how many productions you work on per year.

  3. Your current work status in media production, such as full time, part time, student, or beginner.

    Enter your company details and click Looks good

Create your first project

Enter a Project Title and choose whether this is a Real Project or a Test Project.

Enter a project title, select the project type, and click Next

Note: Choosing Test Project doesn't change what you can do. You can build and publish call sheets just like a real project, and publishing still notifies the real people on your call sheet. SetHero only skips the question about when you plan to start shooting. It does become your one Free Starter project, so choose Real Project if you want that free allowance for a real show.

Pick the kind of project you're making, such as Commercial / Promo, Feature Film, or Short Film. For a real project, you'll also pick when you plan to start shooting.

Select the project type and click Next
