Shot list software that plans every shot, lens and angle.

Build the shot list from the script, set lens, movement and framing per shot, then generate a board image for any row. It syncs straight to the storyboard, so coverage and visuals never drift apart.

The pipeline

Where Shotlist sits in the production flow.

The bridge between writing and shooting. Shotlist takes a finished screenplay + a broken-down scene and outputs a per-shot plan with full cinematography parameters. Send a row to the AI Artist for an on-model frame; send a shot to the editor as a storyboard panel; send a column to the schedule as the day's setup count.

Plan the coverage

Coverage and the picture, always one thing.

A line on the shot list and the frame that goes with it are never apart. Change the angle and the board knows, so the plan you hand the DP and the picture you show the director are the same plan.
