SOONPlaybooks — automations that run on production events

Track the work
you'd rather play.

Play is a production tracker for VFX and animation studios. Import your shot list, generate the task breakdown, and review versions frame by frame — without the six-week setup.

Invite-only while we onboard our first studios · Self-host or managed

One place for the whole show

Everything between the shot list and the final approval.

The whole show on one board

Sequences, shots and tasks with the statuses your studio already uses. Import a shot list and the breakdown generates itself.

Review that moves the work

Approve or send back with a note, and the task it belongs to moves with it. No second system to update, no daemon to run.

Your pipeline, your statuses

Steps, statuses, custom fields and per-role permissions are studio configuration — not our opinion of how you work.

Client review links

Send a named guest a link. They watch and comment with no account, and never see your internal notes.

Live for everyone

A status change appears on every open screen. No reload, no stale board in the corner of the room.

Coming with the pipeline API

Built to connect to your pipeline.

A versioned REST API and webhooks, so a publish tool can create a version and a render farm can read status directly. In development — talk to us if this is how your studio works.

Built for the way shows run

From shot list to final approval.

A project in Play: pipeline steps, progress by status, and sequences with their shots.

Coordinators

A show set up in an afternoon

Paste or upload the shot list, pick a template, and Play generates the task breakdown per pipeline step.

Review notes in Play, each pinned to a timecode, above the version history.

Supervisors

Review without the email thread

Play the proxy, pin a note to the exact frame, approve — and the task it belongs to moves with it.

A shot in Play: tasks per pipeline step with bid hours, assignees and status.

Why we built Play

“Every studio we have worked in ran on a tracker that took a quarter to configure, and reviewed shots in an email thread anyway.”

Play is the version we wanted: the show set up in an afternoon, and the review in the same place as the work it belongs to.
