How Studio Color is organized
Studio Color has two surfaces that work together:
Web App
Desk-based planning. Script breakdowns, scheduling, budgeting, crew coordination, and paperwork. The primary workspace for producers and department heads in pre-production.
Mobile App
Field and on-set access. View the current scene, browse props and equipment, upload scout photos, track shot progress, and receive push notifications.
Both surfaces share the same project data in real time. Anything your producer sets up in the web app is immediately visible to on-set crew in the mobile app.
