Produce the Next Blockbuster
Stop managing a million-dollar film set on fragmented spreadsheets and per-seat SaaS tools. Aeion Production is an end-to-end studio operating system — AI script breakdowns across 15 industry-standard categories, drag-and-drop stripboard scheduling with weather awareness, 3D Gaussian Splat location scouting on Apple Vision Pro, union compliance for IATSE / SAG-AFTRA / DGA / Teamsters, payroll integration with Gusto / ADP / Entertainment Partners, calendar sync with Google / Outlook, and live budget variance with 95% confidence intervals — unified in one database.
The Ultimate Line Producer Toolkit
AI Script Breakdown
Upload your Fountain script. The AI engine reads every scene and instantly extracts Cast, Props, Wardrobe, Vehicles, Animals, Special Effects, VFX, Stunts, Sound, Music, and 5 more industry-standard categories—15 total—tagging them perfectly for the Production Designer and Prop Master. Falls back to rule-based extraction when AI is unavailable.
Next-Gen Screenplay Editor
Write natively in Fountain format with built-in Show Bible integration. As you type, the CodeMirror engine cross-references your Workspace Wikis, highlighting characters and lore with hover-tooltips to ensure 33-episode consistency. Right-click any scene to trigger AI Storyboard generation or instant AI Breakdowns directly from the writing canvas.
Secure Watermarked Sharing
Stop leaking scripts. Export your screenplays to dynamic PDFs with cryptographic watermarks of the recipient's email address embedded diagonally across every page. Generate secure, tracked, read-only web links that let you know exactly who opened your drafts.
Scene Continuity Checker
When writers submit "Blue Revisions", the AI Script Supervisor evaluates the new draft against previous breakdowns. It instantly detects logic flaws—like disappearing props or sudden wardrobe changes—and flags the continuity error for review.
Drag & Drop Stripboards
Move beyond rigid whiteboards. Visualize your shoot schedule with standard INT/EXT and DAY/NIGHT color-coded strips. The autonomous Line Producer bot can organize unscheduled scenes into an optimized shooting schedule, intelligently grouping by location to minimize expensive company moves while factoring in cast constraints.
Spatial Location Scouting
Your iPhone captures transform into 3D Gaussian Splat environments. Directors put on an Apple Vision Pro and virtually block camera angles, light-rig placement, and actor marks — before signing the location permit. Saves an entire scout day.
Automated Call Sheets
Generate weather-aware call sheets instantly from your shooting schedule. Aeion pulls live weather forecasts to flag rain-risk days. Call sheets dispatch via email and SMS with open-tracking and confirmation receipts.
Union-Compliant Time Tracking
Every timesheet is validated against IATSE golden time, SAG-AFTRA meal penalties, DGA prep / wrap days, and Teamsters forced-call rules. Catastrophic payroll disasters are caught before they happen — critical violations surface with clear error / critical severity flags and dollar-value impact estimates.
Real-Time Budget Variance
Spending velocity (daily / weekly burn rate), overspend trend detection by department, and total-completion-cost projection with 95% confidence intervals. Because Production integrates with Aeion Finance, a receipt scanned by the Art Department hits the General Ledger immediately.
21-Department RBAC
Granular role-based access per department. The Camera Department sees only camera gear. Wardrobe sees costume breakdowns. Strict isolation keeps the UI clean and protects sensitive financial data from unauthorized eyes.
Deep Departmental Power
Breakdown Element Library
Pre-built prop, vehicle, animal, and effect libraries (350+ entries) that auto-match to your script. The AI breakdown merges AI-extracted items with library entries, de-duplicating by name and category.
VFX Shot Pipeline
Track hundreds of VFX plates through status pipelines (Prep → In Progress → Final Comp). Link rendered assets from Aeion Media directly to the specific script scene. Production analytics surface bottleneck departments.
Continuity Logging
Script Supervisors log take notes, camera setups, and continuity photos natively. Continuity snapshots attach directly to scenes for the editorial team.
Payroll Integration
Direct export to Gusto, ADP, and Entertainment Partners. Compliant timesheets transform into provider-specific formats with department-level multi-level approval workflows.
Calendar Sync
Bidirectional sync with Google Calendar and Outlook. Call times push to crew calendars automatically with location, parking, and weather notes attached.
Previz & Storyboards
Upload animatics, storyboards, and previz videos and link them to scenes for director and DP reference.
Spreadsheet Bridge
Final Draft and Movie Magic import / Excel export through the Bridge desktop integration — keep your existing tools while migrating to the unified database.
Crew Dispatch
Email and SMS dispatch with open-tracking, confirmation receipts, and weather alerts for affected shoot days.
Budget Audit Trail
Every line-item change is logged with actor, timestamp, and reason — full rollback to any historical state and change reports for studio auditors.
Screenplay Diff Engine
Word-level diffs between revisions surface added / deleted scenes, character changes, and revision colors for Writers Guild compliance.
Pre-Production to Post—One Database
From greenlight to delivery, every production artifact lives in the same Postgres schema:
Pre-Production: Screenplay → AI Breakdown → Stripboard Schedule → Call Sheets → Budget Forecast
Production: Daily Production Reports → Time Entries → Continuity Logs → VFX Shot Status → Purchase Orders
Post-Production: Screenplay Revisions → Script Analyses → Daily Drops → Delivery Specs → Final Cost Report
No more syncing between Final Draft, Movie Magic, Excel, and Dropbox. Your database IS your production management system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Film, TV, commercials, and content production. Handles pre-production (script breakdown, casting, location scouting), production (call sheets, shoot scheduling, daily reports), and post (asset tracking, VFX pipeline, rights clearance). Not manufacturing — that's the SCM module.
AI-driven script parser identifies scenes, characters, props, wardrobe, locations, special effects, and stunts. Outputs a structured breakdown ready for budgeting + scheduling. Manual override per element. Re-runs on script revisions with diff highlighting so the production team can see exactly what changed.
Yes — call sheets auto-generate from the day's schedule with crew assignments, talent calls, location info, weather, sunrise/sunset, sides, and emergency contacts. Distributes via email or push to the Aeion Web Portal where crew can confirm receipt. Last-minute changes push notifications to affected crew only.
Shot-level tracking from plate ingest → CG asset assignment → comp → review → approved. Each shot has its review-state history with annotated frames + reviewer notes. Integrates with the Cut module for streamed playback of in-progress shots.
Rights tracking per asset (music, footage, talent, location) with usage rights, territory, term, and license costs. Pre-clearance workflow gates production from using unauthorized material. Year-end rights reports for renewal scheduling. Compliance audit trail for distribution-channel review.
Yes — combines with the Cut module's StreamCast service for multi-protocol live ingest (SDI / NDI / SRT / RTMP / WebRTC) and the Streaming Director View for live show control. Same production schedule covers scripted shoots + live events.
