REEL 03 — CRAFT NOTE

How to pick the right template category.

A template category is more than a genre label — it's the aspect ratio, shot vocabulary, and deliverable format your client, agency, or distribution partner expects to see. Picking the wrong one costs you a re-cut. Picking the right one means the board reads as professional from the first frame.

  1. 01

    Agency pitch or client-facing board.

    Start with Commercial (16:9). These templates are formatted for client review: shot numbers, timecode columns, side-margin notes for VO and supers. They export cleanly to PDF for email pitches and to Keynote or PowerPoint for in-room presentations.

  2. 02

    Music video pre-vis or sync pitch.

    Start with Music Video (2.39:1). Anamorphic theatrical framing, beat-grid alignment marks, and treatment-board layouts that read alongside a director's cut reel. Built for the way label and artist approvals actually happen — boards watched, not read.

  3. 03

    Internal explainer or SaaS demo.

    Start with Explainer. These templates include UI callout panels, VO cue lanes, and on-screen text frames pre-laid out — so your board reads as a working animatic, not a storyboard someone has to interpret. Export to Figma to hand off to your motion designer.

  4. 04

    Long-form narrative or documentary treatment.

    Start with Narrative Short or Documentary depending on whether you have a script or a subject. Both include scene/sequence dividers and shot-list companion layouts — and both export to Final Draft, so you can move from board to draft without re-keying shot descriptions.
