Turn Story Beats Into Shootable Shots

CinemaDrop helps you turn a script into a shot-by-shot storyboard that doubles as a practical shot list template for cinematographers. Start from an existing script or build one with guided steps, then visualize each beat as a clear, editable shot. You end up with a sequence you can iterate on before committing to motion and audio.

Keep Continuity From Frame to Frame

Keep Continuity From Frame to Frame

A shot list only works when the world stays consistent across angles and coverage. CinemaDrop supports continuity by reusing references and Elements (characters, locations, props) so identity and style carry through your storyboard. Your plan reads like one cohesive film, not a collection of mismatched images.

Iterate Fast, Then Lock Consistency

Early planning needs speed; final planning needs stability. CinemaDrop lets you move quickly while blocking out the sequence, then switch to a slower, high-quality consistency option when you’re ready to lock character identity and push frames closer to final. That makes it easier to go from rough coverage to confident shot decisions in one workflow.

Add Motion, Voice, and Sound Per Shot

Add Motion, Voice, and Sound Per Shot

Once your storyboard-based shot list is approved, CinemaDrop can generate video from text or animate between selected start and end frames. You can also generate speech, music, and sound effects and attach them to individual shots. This keeps your visual plan and your finished media aligned shot-by-shot.

FAQs

Is this a downloadable shot list template?
CinemaDrop isn’t centered on static documents. Instead, you build a storyboard sequence that acts like a living shot list you can revise, reorder, and refine as the project evolves. The plan stays tied to the visuals and media you generate.
Can I begin with a script I already have?
Yes. You can paste an existing script and generate a storyboard from it, turning written scenes into a shot-by-shot visual plan. From there, you can refine coverage, pacing, and the order of shots as needed.
What if I only have a concept and no script yet?
CinemaDrop includes a Script Wizard that guides you from premise to synopsis, outline, and a full script. After that, you can storyboard the script into a structured sequence of shots. It’s designed to keep the workflow story-first.
How can I keep the same character and locations across shots?
CinemaDrop supports consistency by letting you reuse previous outputs as references and by using Elements for reusable assets like characters and locations. Adding and reusing more relevant references generally improves continuity. This helps your storyboard feel like one coherent world across the full sequence.
Can I turn the planned frames into video later?
Yes. You can generate video from text prompts or use image-to-video with chosen start and end frames from your storyboard. That lets you evolve a static shot plan into motion while staying anchored to your original sequence.
Does it handle dialogue and sound on a per-shot basis?
Yes. You can generate speech (text-to-speech or speech-to-speech), plus music and sound effects, and attach them to individual shots in the storyboard. Character Elements can also have an assigned voice to help keep performances consistent.
Do I need to commit to one AI model for the entire project?
No. CinemaDrop provides access to multiple third-party models for images, video, lip-sync, and audio, each with its own credit cost. You can choose what fits each shot while keeping everything organized in one place.
