feels like work, not play
Every “what if” means erasing, reordering, or redrawing from scratch.
Suitcase stuffed with storyboard sheets, just in case.
Wasting late nights with scissors and tape just to move one shot.

Happens fo filmmakers all the time, usually at the worst moment.

Built by a director, for directors
"Paper storyboarding had been driving me crazy for years. It was clunky, inflexible by design, and constantly got in the way of exploration. When talking to other directors, I realized I wasn't the only one looking for a better way. That’s how ShotGlide was born."
Writer-director Jeremy Haccoun cut his teeth directing action and celebrity commercials, working with Hollywood stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio and John Cena. He's currently packaging his first feature film and uses ShotGlide to storyboard every set piece.
