Celtx script writing software doesn't just do scripts, it does 'reports' - another name for calls sheets. As one writes scripts in celtx, any refernce to character, set, location, crew, camera, sound equipment or wardrobe (the list goes on) will be tagged by the writer. While this may seem an unnessicary amount of effort at the time, it pays off later when the call sheet is required.
By selecting the reports, Celtx automaticly gathers every piece of information needed about the scene into one PDF, summarising the Characters in the scenes, the actors needed to play them, wardrobe, props, sets, and even allows for screenshots or other media to be attached to any of the listings, however in this paticular case only the IMAX tunnels have a Google Earth screenshot as the second location is indoors and thus cannot be seen by satelite.
There is a PDF file with all the data attached, however I do not know how to upload it to this blog - so below is an exact copy of scene one's call sheet written onto the blog post, while scene two's call sheet is screenshotted.

Very interesting to see you using Celtex for the call sheet: efficient and professional looking work.
