Shots and storyboards
Shot lists per scene with size, angle, movement and lens. A 16:9 storyboard panel for every shot, uploaded or generated.
Day-out-of-days
Every cast member against every shoot day: start, work and finish, with the cast count per day. Print it, or the one-liner, for the team.
Breakdown
Tag cast, props, wardrobe, vehicles, effects and more by scene. Or let AI suggest tags, then accept or reject each one.
Generate a whole production
Type a premise and pick a preset. StoryForge writes the script, then builds the breakdown, characters, locations, shot lists and schedule, step by step. It uses your own AI key.

Questions
Do I need an AI key?
For the AI features, yes. Bring your own AI key: Claude for writing and breakdowns, OpenAI for storyboard frames. Everything else works without one.
Can I bring in an existing script?
Yes. Import PDF, Final Draft (FDX), Fountain or plain text. Export to Fountain or print to PDF.
Does it handle commercials and docs?
Yes. Write in the two-column AV format, and use the Commercial or Documentary preset in Generate.
What happens when the script changes?
Later stages like the breakdown and schedule show a prompt to re-run, so nothing goes stale without you knowing.
