Stage Blocking & Scene Visuals

Blocking recorded against a scene alongside backdrop images and reference videos.

What it helps with

  • Blocking notation that a swing can actually read
  • Keeping blocking with the scene instead of in a private script
  • Getting an understudy on in a day

How Stage Blocking & Scene Visuals works

  • Managing Scenes: Stage Blocking — Document and visualize character positions and movements throughout a scene. The Stage Blocking section appears on each scene's detail page.
  • Managing Scenes: Scene Backdrops — Add backdrop images for your scenes using AI generation or by uploading your own. These can be used for projections, set design inspiration, or visual references.
  • Managing Scenes: Scene Videos — Generate AI video clips for your scenes using Veo 3.1, or upload your own videos. Videos can be used for projections, rehearsal references, or pre-visualization.

Who uses it

  • Stage managers — Blocking on ground plans, a cue sheet across eight departments, mic plots, run sheets and nightly rehearsal reports — tied to the scenes they belong to.
