KIN for the Cinematographer

The shot list is not a spreadsheet someone forgot to update.

Shots hang off scenes. Renumber a scene and every shot follows it — onto the stripboard, onto the sides, onto tomorrow's call sheet.

Your workspace

4 cards. In this order.

  1. 01Today's setups
  2. 02Shot list progress
  3. 03Lighting plots needing review
  4. 04Camera department board

What you stop doing

  • Rebuilding a shot list after a renumber
  • Reconciling your breakdown against the AD's
  • Hunting for the current lighting plot

What you never have to look at

  • Budget
  • Payroll
  • Casting notes

Hidden, not greyed out. A disabled menu item you can see but cannot use advertises that the tool does not trust you, and on a set that reads as a slight.

One spine. Every department sees its own set.
