A script goes in. A storyboard comes out.
ShotList.Studio reads the screenplay, pulls the scenes, characters and locations out of it, and proposes coverage in your director's voice — not a generic one. Every shot cites the line that asked for it.

| No. | Property | Value | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Script formats it reads | 4 | Final Draft, Fountain, PDF or plain text |
| 02 | Passes to a first shot list | 1 | Upload once — scenes, characters and coverage come back together |
| 03 | Style weights, named presets | 4 · 28 | Set once; reprocessing starts where you left it |
| 04 | Shots without a source line | 0 | Every shot points back at the script |
These are product properties, not averages. Your mileage depends on your formatting, not on us.
Slug lines, action, dialogue. Out come the scenes, speaking characters and locations, each one shown with the line it was found on and a confidence you can argue with.
Four weights and a free-text note decide how the coverage is proposed. Move one and you see the instruction it becomes, in plain English, before anything is generated.
Drawing is the expensive part, so it happens once the list is locked — per shot or all at once, priced and counted before you spend it.
Kinetic energy, emotional proximity, visual authority, continuity style. Each weight becomes a written directing instruction — "prioritize extreme close-ups and choker shots" — and those instructions, not tags, are what the generator works from.
Stop arguing with the list. Start arguing with the film.
The frames ShotList.Studio draws are prototypes — a fast way to get everyone seeing the same film before a single setup is built. Use them to pitch, to argue, to lock the list. Then, when the boards need to carry a production, nothing replaces a storyboard artist's hand. We mean that: when you're ready for the real thing, we'll connect you with one.
Credits are $1. No subscription, no expiry, no surprises — every price is on the sheet before you spend a credit.
| Script read — shot list, characters & locations in one pass | 1 credit / 5,000 characters · min 2 |

| Character or location reference drawing | 1 credit |
| Layout drafting, editing, PDF & CSV export | included |
For scale: a short film reads for 2 credits; a feature for about 30. A fully boarded feature — every shot drawn — lands around 150–200 credits.
For contrast: a storyboard artist charges $50–150 per finished frame — and is worth every dollar. A one-credit prototype frame is for the argument before that money is spent. Use each for what it's for.
