Every Shot With Its Details

Each Storyboard frame has a canvas to draw on and the shot's details beside it, like scene, shot, duration, action, dialogue, location, lighting, props and clothing, camera movement, focal length and transition. Keep the shot list in a Table and connect it to the Storyboard, and the frames take their details from its rows. Export the whole Storyboard as a PDF for the crew.

The Animatic Before The Shoot

Press Space and the Storyboard plays each frame for its duration, with its transitions. Connect a Video element to it and the animatic plays on the project page, and updates when a frame changes. On Studio and Pro, a frame can take 3D models, cameras and lights, so you can block a scene with a model of the set and a camera at the focal length you plan to use, then export it as GLB, glTF or OBJ for the VFX team.

A Page For Each Shoot Day

Give each shoot day its own page, with the call sheet, the shot list, a Map of the location and the day's meetings. A Weather column in a Table shows the forecast for each row's location. Keep cameras, lenses, lights and sound kit in your inventory with where each piece is kept, and add an Inventory List to the day's page to show what's going out.
