TEASER
FADE IN:
INT. POLICE STATION - BULLPEN - NIGHT
The squad room is nearly empty. One green desk lamp burns. STEVE stands alone at the evidence board, coffee going cold in his hand.
STEVE
(to himself)
Nobody keeps a receipt for nine years.
He pulls one photograph off the board and turns it over. A date, in pencil.
INT. STEVE’S APARTMENT - LIVING ROOM - MORNING
Sun through the big window. Steve pours coffee, the photograph propped against the mug.
STEVE
Call the captain. Tell her I need the old files.
EXT. COFFEE SHOP - SIDEWALK - DUSK
Rain. Umbrellas pass. Steve waits under the striped awning and watches a doorway across the street.

Each of these was described one time. The wide picture is the set. Under it, two cameras standing inside it. Pick a set, move the camera, come back to it every episode.
Characters
A look from every side, a voice of their own, and a face that holds from the pilot to the finale. You set each of these once. ACT 3 brings them to every shot.
The character sheet
The voice
His own voice, on every line.
Lips in sync. A human voice actor whenever you want one.

Guest roles get the same care as your series regulars.
And the wardrobe




An outfit per scene, when the story asks.
Created by our AI Storyboard Expert and AI Cinematographer. Every shot gets its panel.
Every character keeps one voice from the first scene to the last. Cast it from the voice directory and there is no session to book. Hand the part to a voice actor and their takes land right in the shot. Decide role by role.
Without a session

I'm working on Act 1 and a reusable set.
Organized by shot, set or character. Whoever logs on next knows exactly where everything is, and picks up right where the last person left off.

I'm working on Act 3.
Far faster, together. While one time zone sleeps, another is at work. Movies and series get done far faster when the whole team works together.
Costume designerAfternoon, her time · Member
I'm working on multiple outfits for different days in the episode.
Perfect for remote teams. Voice actors included: they record from home, inside the same project as everyone else.
