The plan fits what you can shoot well.
AmbitionLimitsShootable version
The creative version is shaped before the shoot gets expensive.Features
Five workspaces from draft to handoff.
Each Core mode answers one production question, so the project can move forward without turning into a pile of disconnected notes.
Start in the mode that matches the current problem: pages, scene needs, scope, shoot days, or the packet you need to share.
Script to shoot
One workflow. Five decisions.
Import pages. Read the scene needs. Scope the shoot. Plan the day. Export the packet.
Start from the job you need done.
The five modes matter because each one answers a real production question for a different moment in the project.
Writer-directorKeep the scene purpose and production needs together.
Use Write and Breakdown when the script is still changing but the shoot is already becoming real.
ProducerSee the pressure before the plan gets expensive.Use Breakdown, Scope, and Plan to connect people, places, risk, and day structure.
Low-budget creatorFind the version you can actually make well.Use Scope to simplify pressure without flattening the reason the project matters.
Schedule-minded plannerMove from scene list to shoot-day logic.Use scene requirements before turning the project into call-sheet and packet work.
Pick the question you need answered.
Use the modes in order when you are building from the script, or jump straight to the part that is blocking the next decision.
