Explore how Mooiev connects scripts, shot lists, storyboards, schedules, budgets and crew portfolios in one film pre-production workspace.
Film pre-production software helps a team turn a creative idea into a plan they can actually shoot. That means more than collecting documents. A script identifies the scenes; a breakdown identifies their requirements; shots and storyboards explain the coverage; and a schedule gives the work a place in the production day. A useful workspace makes those decisions easier to review together.
Mooiev brings those parts into one project, alongside the people doing the work. You can prepare a screenplay, plan shots, develop visual references, organize shooting days and produce documents for the crew. Its professional network also gives filmmakers a place to show their portfolios, connect and discuss opportunities. Production planning is the core workflow; the network helps bring a team to it.
A two-person interview does not need the same preparation as a narrative short with several locations. Start with the decisions your production actually needs. For a simple video, a shot list and a clear crew brief may be enough. For a scripted film, you may need scene breakdowns, character references, a stripboard, cast schedules and a budget before you can issue the first call sheet.
In Mooiev, the project setup offers different starting points, including Shots only, Client work and Full production. Choose a starting point that matches the work, then use the relevant modules. The goal is to maintain a practical plan, not to fill every available field.
| Production decision | Working material | What the team reviews |
|---|---|---|
| What happens? | Screenplay and scene breakdown | Action, characters, locations and requirements |
| How will we film it? | Shot list, storyboard and Stage blocking | Coverage, framing and camera positions |
| What should it look like? | World references and Scene Kit | Characters, locations, props and costumes |
| When can we shoot it? | Stripboard, cast schedule and calendar | Availability, daylight and location access |
| What must we communicate? | Call sheets and production documents | Arrival details, daily work and responsibilities |
| Who will do the work? | Crew roster, tasks and network profiles | Roles, permissions and relevant experience |
Try a small example before moving an entire production. Write a scene where two people meet in a café and one leaves a letter behind. Identify the cast, café, letter and costume requirements. Make a wide shot, two singles and a close-up of the letter. Add reference images that explain the intended look. Then estimate the setups and place the scene on a shooting day.
Now make one change: the letter becomes a phone message. Review the breakdown, the close-up, the prop requirements and the schedule. This exercise reveals which decisions your team needs to keep aligned. A shared workspace helps you find the affected material, but changes still need a production review; software does not know whether a new shot fits the available time.
Invite the people who need to work on the production and give them appropriate section permissions. Assign shots, days and tasks so responsibility is visible. Keep client-facing treatments, proposals and lookbooks focused on decisions that require feedback; keep crew documents focused on the work of the shoot.
After the project, public profiles, featured work and credits can help explain what each collaborator contributed. That is the connection between a production workspace and a filmmaker network: a completed piece of work becomes context for the next collaboration. Publish only material you have permission to share.
You can explore the public shot list maker, script timer and equipment checklist without creating a production account. For a connected project, Mooiev is free to start, with plan-dependent project, storage and AI limits. Check the current plan details before basing a production on a particular quota.
If you are still deciding what to prepare, work through the pre-production checklist first. If you already have a screenplay, start with the script breakdown and move from the scene requirements to the shots. Either route gives you a concrete piece of preparation to discuss with your crew.
