Storyboard, Shot List & Continuity Planner

The problem

Translating a finished script into a functional production plan is manual and error-prone. Production teams often struggle to organize coverage priorities, continuity requirements, and safety checklists without missing critical logistics.

What it does

• Analyzes scripts to define story functions, emotional shifts, and coverage priorities for every scene.
• Generates storyboard outlines focused on blocking, framing, and movement without imitating specific artists.
• Builds prioritized shot lists categorized by must-have, useful, and optional coverage.
• Creates continuity logs and capture-day decision sheets to track pickups and asset dependencies.
• Produces safety and permission checklists to flag shots requiring stunts, special equipment, or permits.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Generic prompts often focus on creative vibes rather than production logistics. This skill enforces a structured workflow that separates story intent from technical execution, ensuring you have a practical decision sheet for the set rather than just a list of ideas. It systematically flags dependencies like equipment needs and permit statuses that standard LLM outputs overlook.

Use cases

• Pre-production planning for commercial video shoots and brand content.
• Developing shot lists for independent film projects with limited crew resources.
• Creating continuity logs for multi-day shoots to ensure visual consistency.
• Organizing coverage plans for documentary interviews and B-roll sequences.

Known limitations

Requires a qualified human to approve all safety, legal, and brand compliance decisions. Does not perform actual video editing, file management, or automated publishing.
