Script Breakdown

Every production element, pulled from the page. Extract and organize the cast, locations, props, wardrobe, looks, effects, sound, and equipment needed for every scene. Curate the result and export a clean production list for your crew.

Breme turns a screenplay and its planned shots into a production breakdown. It deduplicates recurring characters, locations, props, wardrobe, looks, vehicles, animals, makeup and hair, SFX, VFX, sound and music, and special equipment, then shows where each item appears so the list can be curated before production.

FAQ

Common questions

What does the breakdown identify?

It covers twelve production categories: characters, locations, props, wardrobe, looks, vehicles, animals, makeup and hair, SFX, VFX, sound and music, and special equipment.

Can I correct or add items myself?

Yes. Rename and describe items, add anything the extractor missed, dismiss false positives, restore dismissed entries, and link duplicates to an existing production element.

How does it connect to the production bible?

Visual identities such as characters, locations, props, wardrobe, and looks can be promoted into reusable production elements. Planning-only tags such as SFX and equipment stay on the breakdown and stripboard.
