Filmmakers & video creators
Work out the film before the shoot.
Develop the look, work through the sequence, and bring the crew into the same picture.
Treatment, look, and shots in one project.
Pre-production usually means a treatment PDF, a lookbook deck, and a shot list spreadsheet, each a little out of date. In Grein they live in one project: the treatment and tone on the main board, and a nested board for each scene.
Because it’s a live board, your DP and production designer come back to the same place as the film changes, rather than to the version you emailed last week.
Build the look with stills, clips, and sound.
Collect film grabs and stills for lighting and color, and add video references for camera movement. A five-second clip explains a push-in faster than a paragraph. Search Pexels footage, Freesound effects, and Spotify tracks without leaving the board.
When no reference shows what you mean, sketch the frame. Sketch blocks open a pressure-sensitive canvas that works with a pen, mouse, or trackpad.
Notes from the crew, on the frame.
Invite your DP, editor, or producer to the project. They comment on a specific frame, you reply in the thread, and it’s resolved once the choice is locked.
Anyone who only needs to look, such as a financier or a location contact, can have a view-only link and doesn’t need an account.
Questions, answered.
Yes. Arrange reference images or sketches in sequence and add notes for action, framing, sound, or transitions. Use separate nested boards for different scenes.
Yes. Sketch blocks open a full-screen, pressure-sensitive canvas that works with a pen, mouse, or trackpad. The sketch sits on the board as a frame you can arrange like any other.
Yes. Upload clips or paste video links, and add audio from a file, Freesound, or Spotify. Everything plays on the board beside your frames and notes.
