Does StillsLab Offer Shotlist, Storyboard, and Call Sheet Tools?

Updated

Yes. StillsLab's own site promotes a planning tool that combines shotlists, storyboards, and call sheets in one place, positioned alongside its stills library rather than inside it. The homepage pitch is "Your next shoot plans itself. Shotlists, storyboards & call sheets in one tool," with a "Get Started" call to action that mentions locking in "founding pricing forever."

What the planning tool covers

Based on the site's description, the tool is an all-in-one organizer for pre-production paperwork:

  • Shotlists — the ordered list of shots you plan to capture
  • Storyboards — visual sequencing of those shots
  • Call sheets — the daily logistics document for cast and crew

The framing ("in one tool") suggests these are meant to live together rather than across separate apps or spreadsheets.

How it relates to the stills library

The planning tool and the stills library are presented as separate offerings on the same site:

Feature What it is Role
Stills library Movie, series, music video, and commercial frames Reference, mood boards, cinematography study
Planning tool Shotlists, storyboards, call sheets Organizing an actual shoot

The library side includes browsable collections such as The Lord of the Rings trilogy, True Detective, Memories of Murder, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Ex Machina, and Sin City, plus a Community Showcase of filmmaker projects. The planning tool sits apart from that browsing experience.

Pricing and access

The site links to a Pricing page and Subscription Terms, including a Refund Policy, which indicates paid subscription tiers exist. The homepage references "founding pricing" for getting started with the planning tool, but the specific price, plan limits, and what's included at each tier are not stated in the available page content — check the Pricing page directly before committing.

The Look LUT feature (generating .cube files across 17 camera log profiles, with 3 free looks) is a separate capability and not part of the shotlist/storyboard/call sheet tool.

What to verify before signing up

Because the homepage only summarizes the tool, confirm these on the site itself:

  1. Export formats — whether shotlists and call sheets export to PDF or spreadsheet
  2. Collaboration — whether crew can be invited to view or edit
  3. Storyboard input — whether you upload your own frames or pull from the stills library
  4. Trial terms — whether a free tier exists beyond the "3 free looks" mentioned for Look LUT

If your main need is reference frames, the library alone may suffice. If you want to run pre-production paperwork in the same place you gather visual references, the planning tool is the reason to look at a subscription.
