Block the scene in frames.
Frames in a grid, in the aspect ratio your film ships in. Draw in the app, import, or drag an image onto a frame, then label each one with the notes that ride under it. The board reads like the film, not like a spreadsheet.
Board in the shape your film ships in.
Set the ratio your film ships in and every frame reflows to match, so you compose in the delivery shape, not a stand-in. Then set the grid from one big frame per row to five across.
One ratio, the whole board reflows.
- Presets for 16:9, 2.39:1 anamorphic, 9:16 vertical, 4:3, 1:1, 4:5, 3:2, or a custom ratio of your own
- One click reflows every frame on the board
- Drag frames into a new order; the running order moves with them
Fill a frame the fastest way to hand.
- Draw the frame in the app, no round trip to another tool
- Drag an image onto a frame, click to upload, or paste from the clipboard
Every frame carries its shot info.
Size, movement and lens sit under each frame, so the board doubles as the plan the camera team reads. Switch on the fields you work in, or add your own.
The fields you work in, per board.
- Size, Movement and VFX ride under every frame out of the box
- Add your own fields: text, number, or pick from a list
The board is the shot list, in pictures.
Each frame is one shot from your list. Change the size under a frame and the list row changes; retype it in the list and the board follows. No second copy that goes stale by lunch, and no retyping.
Send the board, no login to open it.
When the board is set, send a read-only link. The people opening it just see the frames, in the order they read.
The frames, in the order they read.
- Per-frame notes ride under the frame, so the note and the picture travel together
- Share a read-only link, no login for whoever opens it
- Export the board to PDF in the order it reads
