Applications

Built for what doesn't exist yet.

To create is to make something that was missing before. Our applications are built for that hour, and for the business that has to survive it. They carry the schedule, the paperwork, and the books, and they hand back the decisions.

What we learn on set becomes software.

Every workflow runs on one of our own productions before it ships to anyone else. Each application is defined by what it lets a person do, not by a list of features.

createOS

The shell for creative work. The shared interface, data model, and working loop that the other applications are built on.

  • One place for the whole of a creative business: the work, the money, the knowledge, the decisions
  • Plan the work, run it, learn from it
  • The foundation cineOS and photoOS are built on

cineOS

Production intelligence for cinematographers. The film did not exist yesterday. Neither did the schedule, the sides, or the version everyone is arguing about.

  • Shots, crew, gear, schedule, budget, risk, and delivery, in one spine
  • Creative intent connected to the realities of production
  • Grows out of how we run our own features and dailies

photoOS

Infrastructure for a photography practice. A body of work is made, not filed.

  • Archive, shoots, clients, portfolio, pricing, fulfillment, and revenue in one place
  • The art and the business that funds it stop living apart
  • Built for the making, and for the business that has to survive it
