ShotKraft is an AI-powered shot list generator and film pre-production software built for professional and aspiring filmmakers, indie filmmakers, directors, and DPs, writer-directors, and actor-directors who need to move fast without sacrificing creative control. Founded in 2023 by a team of filmmakers and technologists and headquartered in New York, ShotKraft helps turn ideas into production-ready plans with speed and clarity.
Designed for AI shotlist generation and modern storyboarding workflows, ShotKraft converts screenplays into 70–90% production-ready shot lists in minutes. The software is intuitive, simple to use, and takes only minutes to learn. Simply upload a PDF script (in almost any language) or build scenes manually, and the platform will break down your script scene by scene, generating a structured director’s shot list with detailed descriptions and visual intent. From there, you can fully customize every shot, adding camera type, movement, focal length, VFX notes, and even assigning a B camera.
ShotKraft also includes AI image generation for each shot, allowing you to quickly create storyboard-style visuals and reference frames to align your crew. Collaboration is built in, making it easy to share shot lists via link, work with your team in real time, and export polished documents in PDF or CSV formats for use on set.
There’s a free version with no credit card required, so you can explore the workflow risk-free. If you prefer to create a shot list without AI, you can still use the script breakdown and shot list templates for free, along with collaboration, export, and sharing features.
Whether you’re creating a director’s shot list, planning an indie film shoot, or exploring AI storyboarding tools, ShotKraft streamlines your workflow, saving time while keeping you in full creative control to bring your vision to life.
