A CCSL, (Combined Continuity, Dialogue, and Spotting List) depicts the full content of a film for distribution. A shot-by-shot list of everything that happens on screen.

When a film is completed, a CCSL (or “list” as it’s often known) will be created. Production companies will then take it to foreign film festivals and preview screenings in a bid to generate sales.

A CCSL is one of the most important documents that will accompany a film. Concentrating on the technical details as well as an accurate transcription of all dialogue, the list is then used to translate the film into a country’s native tongue.

An average list, for a film around 110 minutes in length, can be upwards of 350 pages. To give an indication of the amount of work involved.

Our team is highly trained, skilled and enjoys what they do which makes the process so much easier!

Our CCSL’s are complete with frame-accurate timecodes, visual descriptions, on-screen graphics, lower thirds, subtitles, dialogue, and music.

CCSL Create for A Headful of Dreams – Coldplay for Amazon Prime

CCSL Create for The Last Mountain – BBC

We have a fantastic team that work together on every element of a CCSL script, which means we can turn these scripts around much faster than other suppliers.

If you have a project coming and have no idea where to start… get in touch and see if we can help. All we need is a timecode copy of your film and we’ll get cracking!
