Ah the joys of scheduling. For me its the most frustrating part of the project and i'm sure its true of blockbuster films as it is of no/low budget fare such as Zombie Undead. An extra problem at our level, however, is that the lack of budget necessitates multiple roles for crew. So while i direct I produce as well and have the joy of scheduling. To make things easier ive created a Google calendar. These things are pretty nifty.
I set up a calendar and invited cast and crew to join giving them read, write or admin access. After that I set up a proposed next shooting date and invited cast/crew to accept/decline. This way everone can see who can make it and who has yet to respond. Ive added a map and set an email reminder for 7 days before. Text reminder can be added but not to all networks yet. Users can add comments - such as any questions they have, or reminders for props etc - and admin can add desciptions : in this case which script pages we are shooting etc.
In addition i shall add names to dates that i know people cant make. Hopefully this will smooth the process out - we shall see ;-)
