FramePath - Pre-production planning for filmmakers — 1.1 now in beta.

I'm an amateur filmmaker. I built FramePath because I kept losing track of my planning documents between the myriad of platforms I needed: my screenplay was in one place, my shot list was in a spreadsheet, and my storyboard sketches were on my phone in an app that had nothing to do with any of it. By the time I got to actually filming my humble projects, I was working from four or five different documents that didn't talk to each other at all. Now I'm not a professional filmmaker (I'm decidedly a passionate amateur filmmaker and photographer) but I am a former software developer and I used to be a product manager earlier in my career. My day job involves business leadership and strategy. That background made me want to try to create a tool that could perhaps evolve into something that's genuinely useful for others as well. I wanted one place that understood the whole pipeline from the screenplay to the shoot day. I didn't need a project management tool with a "film template", an online platform made for massive professional teams, or an all-capable and super-flexible note-taking app. I needed something that knew what a scene was, what a setup was, what lenses I wanted to use on a particular production. AI shot generation came from watching how I actually used the early app: I'd plan scenes by talking through coverage in my head, then manually enter every setup. That's the part that should be faster. The 1.1 version lets you write a scene and get a starting set of shots and setups. Then, you cut what doesn't fit and keep what does. It's not meant to replace instinct. Instead, it's meant to get you a starting point from which to build a shot list that actually works. The beta is live now. If you make films and want to tell me what's broken, I'm reading every message personally. Miikka
