A pencil drawing becomes a finished shot. Stay to the end.
One real shot from one of our own films goes from storyboard drawing to still to finished take — and you'll see what every step costs today. It's the workflow you already run on set: fix it while it's pencil, not after it's video.
Five steps. Nothing moves on without your yes.
This is a film set, not a slot machine. Every step answers one question, shows its price before you click, and waits for you.
Breakdown
A first assistant director reads every page and hands back your scenes and shots — size, lens, movement, blocking — with a continuity Bible behind every one.
Quoted before it startsStoryboard drawing
Black and white, for framing, blocking, eyelines and the cut. Change your mind here, on paper.
Today: €0.40 a drawingStill
The same frame in its real look: faces, wardrobe, room, light. Wrong face? Wrong light? You see it now, before any video exists.
Today: €0.15 a stillProxy
The first motion: performance, camera move, timing. Check the move before the finished take.
Today: €0.65 for 5 sMaster
The finished take, rolled when you say so, from everything you already approved.
Today: €0.90 for 5 s
Nobody rolls camera to find the frame.
On set you board it, block it, light it — and only then you roll. Preflight Cinema keeps that order, so you catch the wrong framing on a drawing, the wrong light on a still and the wrong move on a proxy, before the master.
Today a storyboard drawing costs €0.40. A 5-second master costs €0.90.
That's 2 storyboard drawings for the price of one master.
- You see the price before every click, and that's the price you pay.
- A note fixes one thing. Everything you didn't mention stays exactly as it was.
- A step that fails puts the full amount back in your balance.
You made it. Here's the shot.
Scene 1, shot 3, from one of our own films: a woman steps into a café, a man pays at the counter, the barista smiles. One frame, three steps.
Pencil first: the woman at the door, the man at the counter, the barista behind it.
Storyboard drawing The same frame in its real look: the faces, the café, the warm afternoon light.
Still Then it moves: she walks in, he pays, the barista smiles.
