I think AI will have a genuinely positive impact on parts of filmmaking. It's another tool in an already powerful pipeline, not a replacement for it.
Traditional workflows already integrate CGI seamlessly. AI-generated content will follow the same path: processed, ingested, and refined through compositing and modeling to match the director's vision. That part isn't revolutionary, it's evolution.
What is new is this: more and more shots will be generated or iterated via prompt. And that changes production planning in ways most people haven't thought through yet. AI characters, wardrobe references, prop concepts, style frames for generative models, prompts multiply fast, and every one of them needs to be tracked, versioned, and tied back to the script.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Ivo, screenwriter, film editor, and documentary director with 25+ years in the industry.
I've written many screenplays and worked on some of the biggest international format TV productions: X Factor, Celebrity Survivor, MasterChef, Pechino Express. I've directed documentaries, edited feature films, and supervised post-production on prime time formats for RAI, Mediaset, Discovery and Sky and other interesting projects related to the audio/video world.
A few years ago I founded Dotting.cloud, a remote post-production startup built around AI and DaVinci Resolve. I also built a few open source projects along the way, including a neural network visualizer for Blender on GitHub, written before LLMs even existed. That's where my obsession with AI workflows really took hold.
WrittaShot came out of a personal project: a feature film mixing real footage, CGI, and AI-generated visuals. I needed one tool to track scenes, the prompt and notes to manage visual consistency, and keep the screenplay and shot list together. Nothing like it existed, so I built it.
I've spent decades on both sides of the script, writing them and cutting them. WrittaShot is the tool I always wished I had.
