SELF-SHOOT SYSTEMS Cast Camera · iPhone Workflow

Cast keeps shooting.
Production keeps the receipts.

Cast Camera turns a fleet of iPhones into a tracked, automated capture system — every clip stamped with cast, time, location and upload state the moment it's recorded.

[01] THE PROBLEM

Producers shoot. Cast shoots.
Nobody knows what was shot.

Even with production-issued phones, self-shot footage tends to disappear into camera rolls, missed transfers, and "I think I sent that yesterday" Slack threads.

By the time post realizes a moment is missing, the cast is asleep, the location has wrapped, and the iPhone is on a charger in someone's hotel room.

{[ "Did anyone shoot today?", "Which phone has the diary cam?", "Where was that recorded?", "Was it uploaded?", "Is it still on the device?", ].map(q => (

{q}

))}

Cast Camera answers all five questions before anyone has to ask.

Filterable by city, day, or geofence — not by guesswork." }, { icon: Icon.Clock, label: "DATE & TIME", desc: "Real-time stamp burned into metadata at start of clip.

[02] CAST CAMERA

One app. Every clip
accounted for.

A custom-built iPhone capture app, deployed across the cast fleet. Records to device, tags every file, and reports back to a production-side log automatically.

{/* Phone showcase — uploaded transparent image, annotations baked in */}

Cast Camera app — REC + elapsed, phone ID, geotag and timestamp

{/* Fields */}

0{i+1}

{f.label}

{f.desc}

))}

{/* metadata strip — what gets logged */}

NEXT STEP

Bring Cast Camera
to your next production.

Whether you're rolling out one diary cam or a cast-wide fleet, Ages Productions can provision the phones, deploy the app, and stand up the upload pipeline before day one.
