What does planning a commercial involve?
Commercial production runs on a tight timeline and a client approval at every stage. From the brief, you develop a treatment that wins the job, then a storyboard, a shot list, and a schedule for a shoot that is usually one or two intense days, with the agency and client signing off along the way.
The challenge is speed and alignment. The treatment, the boards, the shot list, and the schedule move fast and have to stay in sync, and doing that across a deck, a storyboard tool, and a spreadsheet slows the turnaround and risks the client seeing something out of date.
Storyflow puts the whole commercial on one free infinite canvas. The AI drafts the treatment and boards from the brief, and the shot list and schedule sit right beside them, so the plan moves as fast as the job and stays connected.
Because it is shareable, the client stays in the loop. Send a view-only link or export a clean deck so the agency and client approve the treatment and boards before the shoot, and open the shot list on set on the day.
