Pre-production, reframed
Plan the film,
frame by frame.
Frameboard is the infinite canvas where directors and DPs turn references into storyboards, and storyboards into a numbered, crew-ready shot list. No exports between tools. No lost intent.
Free plan. No card required.
The core idea
Every reference can become a shot.
Moodboard, storyboard and shot list are not three documents. They are three states of the same image. Frameboard keeps them on one surface, so the look you found is the shot you schedule.
Moodboard
Drop stills, frames and location photos onto an infinite canvas. Cluster them into the film's visual language — freely, spatially, like a wall of prints.
Storyboard
Flip any reference into a shot card. The image becomes the frame; lens, movement and blocking notes live on the back. Nothing is retyped, nothing is lost.
Shot list
Cards number themselves in sequence order and renumber as you rearrange. Export a clean, production-ready shot list PDF for the crew.
Built for the shoot
Everything between the idea and day one.
Infinite canvas
Pan and zoom without limits. One board scales from a single scene to the whole film.
Flip-to-shot
One keystroke turns a reference into a shot card with a back side for coverage notes.
Auto numbering
Shots renumber as you reorder. Scene and setup codes stay consistent across the board.
Shot list PDF
Export a crew-ready PDF with frames, lenses and notes — formatted for the AD's binder.
Sketching
Draw frames straight onto cards with pressure-sensitive ink when no reference exists yet.
Autosave
Every stroke is saved as you work. Close the laptop mid-scout; nothing is lost.
