Request access as a studioRequest access as a freelancer

One job, start to finish.

A spring campaign, from the offer to the invoice.

The people, jobs and figures are made up. Sorting into moments is part of the paid plans, which aren't on sale yet.

Weeks before

The offer. The pay is on the card.

The offer is a card, and what the job pays slides out from behind it. Saying yes is agreeing to it, and you both keep the record.

The week before

No app to download. No account to make.

Send a link by text or email. They open it in the browser on their phone, see what you need from them, and send their files. There is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.

Thursday morning

The crew room. One conversation, on the job.

The crew room is the job's own conversation, with a private thread for each freelancer.

Thursday, after the shoot

Fingerprinted before it moves. Checked again on your drive.

Each file a freelancer sends is fingerprinted on their machine, read back by our server, and checked again as it lands on the lead's drive.

The Monday after

The invoice. From what you both agreed.

The invoice starts from the lines you both agreed. You add the miles, and it lands on the studio's job. Open it, mark it paid, and it carries the paid stamp.

Oh, and just need to send files? We do that too.

Between people who’ve said yes to each other. Nobody else, which is rather the point.

Files coming in to you, then landing; your own send going out while another folder arrives, checked in the cloud, then Cloud verified.

  • RAW
  • JPEG
  • HEIC
  • TIFF
  • PSD
  • MP4
  • MOV
  • WAV
  • MP3
  • AIFF
  • PDF
  • ZIP

And anything else you can put in a folder: photos, video, sound, documents, project files. Every one checked in the cloud the same way.

Bring the music in.

Send the stems and the mix like any other files, every one read back in the cloud. Then put the song on a board, play it together, and leave a note at the second it matters.

Meet Crane. Coming soon.

Crane is in development: an assistant for the whole platform that works from your jobs' own record. This is how we are drawing it, with made-up people and figures.

  • Your morning, briefed. What needs you, in order, from your jobs' own record.
  • A job, set up. Say what is happening. It drafts the job and the offers. Open it, change anything by asking, send it.
  • The invoice, drafted. From what you agreed on the job. Open it, change it by asking, send it.
  • The nudge, written. In the crew room, and sent when you press.
  • The paperwork, shared. From your Library to the people on the job, as you choose.
  • Anything about your work. The money, the calendar, the crew, the jobs, the words. It answers from your record, and drafts what you ask for.
  • You decide how much it does. Each kind of task is yours to set.

One job, everything in it.
And everything around the job.

Every offer, file and invoice, in one place.

Every conversation, one Inbox. The crew room, a private thread with each person and direct messages, all in one place.

OakhavenHale StreetTern & TallowDue

Everything due, on one calendar. Shoot days, deadlines and your own tasks, with a reminder in the bell.

A gap is a prompt, not a verdict. If frame numbers skip, the job says look here. A frame deleted in the camera leaves the same gap.

Marcus puts Lena on the job.

Hire one person. They can bring a crew. If your offer allows it, they add their own people to the job from inside it, and those files land with them first.

Miles on the invoice

The freelancer adds the distance, the lines stay agreed.

A help centre

Answers inside the app, not a ticket queue.

So familiar you won't need the help centre. We wrote one anyway.

It's any shoot.

A wedding is a good example. It isn't the only one. The job takes its shape from the kind of shoot: its schedule, its suggested roles and the wording of the drop-off form.

  • Wedding

    A day timeline: getting ready, first look, ceremony. A key moment with no frames from anyone is flagged.

  • Video shoot

    A call sheet with morning and afternoon blocks and the pickups at the end. Roles to match: camera, DIT, drone, producer. A gap in a camera's numbering is flagged, as a prompt to look.

  • Event or show day

    A run of show you fill in: doors, the show, the party. You mark the moments you can't redo.

  • Brand and UGC campaign

    Work collected from many creators by a date, with each person's files listed under their own name.

  • Product shoot

    A shot list as the schedule: the hero product, the lifestyle set, the talent portraits. Roles to match: photographer, camera, DIT, producer, assistant.
