I storyboard all my films.
But it’s always the same pain: traveling with sheets of blank frames, scissors and tape to re-order, renumbering shots by hand, scanning or snapping pics to share with production.
Turns out many directors I talk to have been struggling with the same thing.
I looked everywhere for an iPad app that solved it. Couldn’t find one.
That's how ShotGlide was born.

@andymac3d I'm also following this closely. I think the breakthrough will be the ability to prompt in layers. Once we can keep what we like in a shot and re-generate only the camera move, the acting, the set or a prop, then we get close to live-action level control.
Just discovered this on Netflix. Can’t believe I missed it in theaters. Highly recommended. Excellent acting, superb minimalist direction. Worth it for the kitchen scene alone, which is pure dread.
I did not one-shot this app in a weekend.
After talking to many directors who storyboard their films, I realized we were all dealing with the same pain: sheets of blank frames, scissors and tape to reorder, renumbering everything by hand, then scanning to share.
I looked for an iPad app that handled that workflow. Couldn’t find one. So I built one.
Built with @Lovable, @cursor_ai and @AnthropicAI.
Started with Claude Sonnet 4.5, when a React + native PencilKit bridge was still a real challenge. Then Opus arrived, and suddenly the hardest parts became possible.

@bilawalsidhu Amazing. Imagine when this tech is built straight into AI video and lets you set the exact camera path through your scene for the entire shot.
First Seedance 2 test.
When I think about how many days I used to spend comping fire in After Effects… this is pretty wild.
Prompt: Wide shot, two cars collide at a downtown road junction in a major US city, causing a massive explosion.
@jonnyrmcfarlane Great clip. Funny to hear Duvall slam that! Fincher or Kubrick are so good at creating choreography with dozens of takes, Scorsese is brilliant at catching spontaneity. No single right way. I’ve watched Goodfellas and Eyes Wide Shut a million times and they still feel like magic.
@bearmccreary@tvaziri I’m also puzzled by this. Production constraints don't help, but it also feels like directors ask for it less. To me, thematic scoring remains the most powerful way to land every story beat. Can’t imagine using anything but good old film scoring and leitmotifs in my movies.
