Deliberately understated.

CINEside is not a visual presentation tool. It doesn't need to create a mood — your images do that. The interface stays out of the way so you can focus on what matters: the script, the ideas, the preparation.

What it does:

A shot planning tool built by a cinematographer, for cinematographers. Import your screenplay as PDF — exported from Final Draft, Movie Magic, Celtx, or any other screenwriting app — and CINEside automatically detects your scenes. Plan your shots scene by scene, always with the script on the right and your shots and notes on the left.

Features:

📄 Import screenplays as PDF from any screenwriting application
🎯 Anchor shots to specific passages in the script
📷 Attach reference photos, location images, sun position diagrams, sketches and storyboards
📝 Notes for specific departments — Gaffer, Art Dept., Costume, Make Up, Key Grip and more
🎬 Export your complete shooting script as PDF
🗓 Shooting Order — drag and drop shots into production order
🎥 Separate VFX and SFX shot lists for post production

All the prep work in one place — the script, the shots, the notes, the references. Nothing more, nothing less.
