Shot lists that stay connected to the storyboard

Boords keeps frame details, notes, and production context in one workspace, so approved boards can become a shoot-ready list without rebuilding the plan in a spreadsheet.

Workflow

How to Create your Shot List

Move from visuals to an organized production list in three steps, with your team working from the same project context throughout.
01

Upload or Generate Images

Upload your own images or take advantage of our built-in image generator to create visuals for your shot list project.

02

View & Edit Your Shot List

With live editing capabilities, you can collaborate with your team in real-time, ensuring everyone stays on the same page and your shooting schedule remains up to date.

03

Get Feedback & Export

Once you’re satisfied with your shot list, you can export it in various formats, including Google Sheets, for further customization and sharing with your team.

Who approved what, when, on which version

Send a link. Your client comments frame by frame and approves the cut. No account, no SSO, no resent links at 6pm on a Friday. Every comment, version, and sign-off stays on the record.

Boords has drastically changed our workflow. Before, we spent so much time creating storyboards that we were happy to put in front of clients. Now everyone in our business can create storyboards that are visually pleasing. I can't recommend it enough.
Without Boords storyboarding was the most painful part of the production process, with Boords it's the most painless. Super easy to use and speeds up the pre-production process immeasurably.

Boords is an essential part of our workflow. The ability to share our storyboards with clients gives them the opportunity to visualise the project earlier, give feedback and be assured the project is heading in the right direction.

Shot List Software for Studios & Agencies

For studios and agencies juggling multiple client projects, shot lists shouldn't mean starting from scratch. Boords generates production-ready shot lists directly from your approved storyboards—frame numbers, shot types, descriptions, and notes all flow through automatically. No spreadsheets, no retyping, no version confusion. Your team gets a single source of truth that stays in sync with the storyboard, so last-minute client changes don't mean rebuilding your entire production plan.

Whether you're producing a brand film or a series of social ads, Boords adapts to how your team actually works. Share shot lists with your DP before the shoot, update them on set, and keep everyone aligned without emailing spreadsheets back and forth. When your storyboard and shot list live in the same place, handoffs get simpler and nothing falls through the cracks between pre-production and the shoot day.
