Shot & Asset Tables
Fast, spreadsheet-style tables for shots, assets, and tasks — with save-consistency guards so a background refresh never overwrites the edit you just made.
Production tracking your team actually owns.
MOTK is a free production management toolkit for small film, animation, and VFX teams. It runs on Google infrastructure your team already has — Sheets as the database, Drive for media, Apps Script as the web app. Your data never leaves your own Google account, and hosting costs nothing.
What MOTK Does
The core of a production tracker — shots, assets, tasks, schedules, media review — without the seat licenses, and without handing your production data to someone else's platform.
Detail Pages & Uploads
Every shot and asset has a detail page with version history and a batch uploader that files media straight into that record's folder in your Drive.
Schedules
A schedule view with view/edit modes and daily/slot layouts, for planning shoot days and task assignments across the team.
Review Proxies
An upload/proxy pipeline turns heavy originals into lightweight review proxies, with an audit that scans for missing proxies on a schedule you set.
Roles & Permissions
Admin, manager, and member roles gate the sensitive areas. Access to the workbook and Drive folders syncs from a single Users list.
Admin Dashboard
A separate ops hub for admins: create records, audit Drive mismatches, sync user access, and watch upload and proxy jobs.
Why MOTK Exists
Born On Real Productions
MOTK was built by a working stop-motion production professional who needed ShotGrid-style tracking at small-team scale — without enterprise pricing, and without moving the production's data onto a vendor's platform.
Small Teams First
Big studios have pipelines and TDs. MOTK is for the crews that don't: independent films, small animation studios, student productions — teams that need structure but can't spend a license budget to get it.
MOTK is one option among many — tools like ShotGrid and Kitsu serve real needs, and the right choice depends on your team. MOTK's bet is simple: for a small team, owning your own setup beats renting one.
