Plan a film production with Claude in your CineFlo projects. This plugin pairs the CineFlo connector with skills that know how a production is prepared, so Claude works the way a first AD, a script supervisor or a line producer would, not just tool by tool.
- Build a shot list. Claude checks how the project will be shot (coverage style, cameras, lenses, aspect ratio), asks once if that isn't known yet, reads the scene, and proposes coverage in your shot numbering before saving it.
- Break down the script. Claude tags cast, props, wardrobe, vehicles, effects and the rest, scene by scene, reusing the elements already in your breakdown.
- Schedule shoot days. Claude groups unscheduled scenes by location, time of day and cast, and lays them onto shoot days on the stripboard.
- Prep a call sheet. Claude drafts a day's call sheet from the stripboard, with call times, cast statuses and locations. It never sends it: you send from CineFlo.
- Review the budget. Claude reads the cost report and explains where you are over, where money is committed and what is left.
- Start a project. Claude creates a project and gives you the link to import your screenplay.
- Handle a script revision. After a new draft is imported, Claude shows which scenes changed and what that touches in the breakdown, shot lists and schedule, then updates what you agree to.
- Track the shoot day. Tell Claude "we got 4A" or "4C needs another take" and it records it, says whether the day will make it, and moves unfinished scenes when you agree.
- Build a prep checklist. Claude turns the breakdown and schedule into department to-do lists, with owners and due dates ahead of each shoot day.
- Scout locations. Claude logs recce notes in the form the crew needs (power, access, noise, sun path), compares options, and links scenes to places.
- Make a lookbook. Claude builds a mood board for the film, a location or a character, with notes, colour palettes and the references you name.
- Set up cast and crew. Claude numbers the cast the call-sheet way, builds the crew list by department, and orders it as call sheets print.
- Get connected. When CineFlo isn't connected yet, Claude still does the work in the chat, then explains what CineFlo is and how to connect it.
You need a CineFlo account on Pro. Connecting an assistant is part of CineFlo Pro, which starts with a free trial. No account yet? You can create one on the sign-in page in step 1, with Google, Apple or an email address, and start the trial from there. Without CineFlo connected, Claude still helps in the chat and tells you how to connect.
- Add the plugin, then connect CineFlo from the plugin's Connectors tab and sign in, or create your CineFlo account.
- On the CineFlo sign-in page, choose which projects and which tabs Claude can view or edit. You can change this any time in CineFlo under Settings → Privacy & Data → Connected Apps.
- Ask in plain words, for example "Build a shot list for scene 12 of Night Shift" or "Which scenes aren't scheduled yet?", or pick a skill from the
/menu.
The skills are instructions only: this plugin contains no scripts and runs nothing on your computer. Claude reaches your projects through the CineFlo connector at https://mcp.cineflo.com/mcp, which is run by CineFlo (Neon Media LLC) and only reaches the projects and tabs you share with it. Contact details, pay rates and uploaded files are never shared with Claude, nothing is sent to anyone, and Claude asks before deleting anything you didn't name, because deleting can't be undone. See How Connected Apps work and the CineFlo privacy policy.
