Balance first
Prep is designed to help teams find a realistic balance between shoot, post, scope, and budget, rather than treating each of those as isolated decisions.
Prep. is about balance
Made by film professionals for film professionals.
Built to balance post and shoot from day one.
Professional workflows
Prep is built for professional live-action film and series workflows. It is not designed for animation, nonfiction, or generic project planning.
A planning tool, not a final budget
Prep is meant to shape the first credible version of a schedule and post budget quickly, so teams can pressure-test the project before moving into more detailed work.
About the calculations
AI helped us build the software. It did not invent the schedule and budget logic. The calculations are based on practical production and post experience, reference projects, and continuous calibration against real workflows.
About realism
Prep’s standard mode is deliberately anchored in a healthier professional baseline. That makes it more useful for judging whether a project feels balanced, compressed, or likely to create problems later.
