Interactive Storyboard and Shot Visualisation
Bridge the gap between the director's vision and the camera department by linking your shot list directly to visual references. CinePlatform allows you to upload storyboard panels, location scouting photos, and overhead lighting diagrams directly to individual setups. You can organise each shot by size, angle, and camera movement, ensuring everyone from the Director of Photography to the grip team understands the exact visual goal before arriving on set.
This central visual hub eliminates the confusion of passing around paper storyboards and disjointed reference emails. When the whole crew can see the intended frame attached directly to the technical shot requirements, your setups become faster and far more precise.
Detailed Technical Camera and Gear Tracking
Empower your cinematography team by logging critical technical details for every single setup. Our shot list builder includes customisable data fields for focal lengths, specific camera bodies, intended frame rates, and specialised equipment like Steadicams, cranes, or track dollies. As you build your list, you can instantly group shots that share the same lens or equipment setup, allowing you to "shoot out" specific technical configurations without unnecessary gear changes.
By mapping out these technical requirements in advance, the camera and grip departments can prep their carts with precision. This proactive approach saves hours of downtime that is normally lost on set waiting for lens swaps and complex rig builds.
Smart Synchronisation with Your Schedule
Build your shot list faster by seamlessly pulling scene data directly from your locked script breakdown and active shooting schedule. CinePlatform automatically populates your shot list dashboard with your scheduled scenes, allowing the director to start planning coverage without manually re-typing scene headings, cast members, or locations. If the 1st AD moves a scene on the stripboard, your shot list dynamically reorganises itself to reflect the new shooting order.
This real-time synchronisation keeps the creative team perfectly aligned with the logistical realities of the production. The director always knows exactly which shots are on the docket for the day, preventing missed coverage and rushed setups.
