Storyblocker

Storyblocker is a mobile-first previsualization app that allows filmmakers, animators, and content creators to plan, visualize, and collaborate on scenes using their smartphones. It combines 3D environments, augmented reality, and generative AI to help users go from concept to production with real-time control over composition and style. The app provides a full 3D camera solution, enabling users to navigate virtual scenes, place characters, and adjust focal lengths. Its asset library and text-to-3D feature allow for rapid prototyping of environments and props. Storyblocker also includes performance capture via motion capture technology, adding realistic character poses. Key differentiators include generative AI style transfer for applying custom visual styles, AR virtual production merging live action with digital elements, and a collaborative workflow for sharing scenes with team members. The platform is designed to streamline storyboarding and shot listing, making it accessible to both professionals and beginners. Targeting pre-production and creative stages, Storyblocker simplifies the visualization process by eliminating the need for expensive equipment or complex software. Its mobile-based approach ensures users can develop ideas anywhere, with outputs ready for further production.
