The framing tools for visual production.

Brief through final delivery · private alpha · by invitation only

01 · About

A workspace for the visual production discipline.

Visual production runs on a sequence of deliberate decisions — about brief, casting, locations, crew, frames, schedule, cut, delivery.

Most tools split them across separate files. Kausframe keeps them connected: the brief that triggered the casting, the frame that drove the cut, the schedule that wrote the call sheet.

02 · Name

Kaus, and frame.

Kaus — the bow of Sagittarius. Three stars in a curve. Tension. Aim. Release.

Kaus Borealis · tension — the brief, the constraints

Kaus Media · aim — the considered frame

Kaus Australis · release — the finished thing arrives

Frame — what brings a subject into focus and holds it in context. Briefs. Shots. Decisions. Schedules. Each captured. Each in its place. Nothing drifts.

03 · Inside

Five movements, one workspace.

Author

AI woven through brief, treatment, and script breakdown — and image generation across characters, locations, props, wardrobe, and shots.
Make

Storyboards, animatics with sound and motion, and cuts in every delivery format. Frame to film, with the decisions in between held in place.
Run

Schedule, stripboard, call sheets, a project diary, multi-layer set designs and floor plans — with locations, crew, equipment, props, and wardrobe each carrying state, holds, and bookings.
Review

Versioning and budgeting woven through the project, with attributed review rounds on a branded surface for stakeholders.
Reach

A directory of people and organisations across the industry, and a browser plugin for gathering inspiration from the web straight into a project moodboard.
Soon

Live shot-material preview during post review.

04 · For

Studios, and the people inside them.

Studios

Production companies

For the operational spine of the production — schedule, stripboard, locations, crew, bookings, call sheets, budget. The director's workspace sits inside yours.

Agencies

For client review with state, attribution, and a branded surface. Stakeholder access by invitation; controlled disclosure of what's ready and what isn't.

Post houses

For cuts in every delivery format, versions across review rounds, attributed comments and approvals. Issued packages stay immutable; the working schedule keeps moving.

Brand studios

For the in-house creative teams shipping campaigns end-to-end. Brief, image generation, storyboards, schedule, deliverables — on the brand's own surface.

Artists, Creatives & Crew

Working freelance or staff, in their own workspace or yours.

Directors & Photographers

For whom the frame is the work. Brief, references, AI-generated variants, storyboards, animatics, cuts in every delivery format — every decision held in one place and attributed.

Producers

For the operational spine. Schedule, stripboard, hybrid day breakdown, call sheets, bookings, budget, and a diary that holds the whole arc together.

Writers

For the script as the source of every working surface. AI breakdown turns prose into scenes, beats, locations, props, talent, and wardrobe — each one a place where the production happens.

Cinematographers

For the shot list, the coverage plan, lens and lighting choices, references and movement notes — captured against the frame they apply to.

Production designers

For moodboards, multi-layer set designs and floor plans, props and wardrobe coordination, and the looks that hold across every department.

Stylists

For moodboards gathered from across the web — captured directly via a browser plugin — and resolved into looks, wardrobe sheets, location holds, props, and on-set continuity.

Costume, hair, makeup

For wardrobe boards, look continuity, hair and makeup notes — by shot, by day, by person.

Editors & Colourists

For cuts in every delivery format, versions across review rounds, attributed comments and approvals from a stakeholder review surface. Soon: live shot-material preview during post.

Casting and locations

For shortlists with state — candidate, hold, confirmed, dropped — drawn from a global directory of people and places.
