Production templates · Checklists
Recorder, mics, wireless, boom, timecode, headphones, power and expendables — with quantity and out/in check boxes.
The sound package rental checklist splits items into eight areas — recorder and mixer, microphones, wireless, boom and wind protection, timecode and sync, headphones and monitoring, power and cables, and expendables — each with quantity, out check, in check and notes. Lavs, transmitters and cards get one line each by number.
The Excel file includes Example and Guide sheets next to the blank form. How to fill it in
The sound package checklist confirms every piece of sound gear from the rental house by item and quantity, and the same sheet is used on return to make sure nothing is missing. The sound department fills it in; production uses it to settle rental fees and loss responsibility.
On pickup, go line by line with the rental house contact and fill in Out; on return, fill in In on the same sheet. Add gear rented later or returned early to the same sheet.
