Production Capability Catalog

Every capability in Aeion Production, organized by subsystem — from AI script breakdown through on-set operations to previz, VFX, and rights clearances. Built for the full production lifecycle.

Script + AI Subsystem

AI script breakdown reads an uploaded screenplay and extracts cast, props, wardrobe, and every other breakdown element per scene. A conflict detector flags scene and resource clashes; a continuity checker tracks wardrobe, props, and makeup across shoot days; and a stripboard scheduler proposes an optimized shoot-day order.

Scheduling Subsystem

The scheduling engine orchestrates the shoot calendar and stripboard. Calendar sync publishes the schedule to iCal, Google Calendar, and Outlook. Integrated weather forecasting flags outdoor-scene risk per shoot day.

Budget Subsystem

Budget forecasting projects total completion cost from actual spend, using patterns from historical productions. A budget audit trail records every approval and change for compliance review.

Crew + Cast + Payroll Subsystem

Role-based access control scopes what each department can see. Payroll integration routes crew hours to Gusto, Wrapbook, or Cast & Crew. Union compliance applies SAG-AFTRA, DGA, IATSE, and Teamsters rules automatically. Timesheet aggregation rolls daily time entries into pay periods.

On-Set Operations Subsystem

A multi-channel notification layer (email, SMS, push) handles call sheet dispatch, per-event templates, and crew alerts.

Previz + Storyboards + VFX

Previz orchestration links animatics and storyboards to scenes. Location scouting links 3D scans (Gaussian Splats and meshes) to filming locations. Hardware/bridge integration supports on-set device workflows like camera reports.

Clearances + Rights

Clearance tracking covers music, image, and location rights per asset.

Analytics + Tooling

Production analytics surface department productivity and bottlenecks. A diff engine compares script, budget, and schedule revisions. Cross-module event handling keeps finance, HR, and Cut in sync automatically.

FAQ

No — capabilities activate as your production needs them. Most active productions only use a subset at a time.

Custom workflows can subscribe to production events and write back to Aeion. Blueprint automation covers many integration patterns out of the box.

Aeion Production is a managed, closed-source platform, so you get the capability + full audit trail rather than the source itself. Enterprise customers get architecture walkthroughs with our solutions team.

Most capabilities are configurable via tenant settings + per-production overrides.

Custom union rules (low-budget agreement variants), custom budget templates per production company, custom call sheet branding per project, custom payroll provider integration.
