The problem every production designer knows.

A production designer carries a whole world in references: architecture, surfaces, period detail, colour, the way a room ages. They arrive from scouts, books, archives and the art department all at once, and they have to be handed to construction, set decoration and camera in a form each of them can use.

cine.gallery holds that world in one place. Each set becomes a gallery, each material is findable by what it looks like, and every department gets one link to the current version instead of a folder that was out of date the day it was sent.

What goes in it.

Whatever you work from. These are the references kept here most often for production design, and the kind of thing people type to find them again.

How the work flows.

  1. 01

    Gather location and material references

    Upload scouts and precedent as they arrive; folders keep their shape.

  2. 02

    Build a gallery for each set

    Build one gallery per set, in the order the script meets it.

  3. 03

    Keep decisions beside your references

    Share each set's gallery with construction, decoration and camera — one link each, always current.

Frequently asked questions.

It is built for anyone who works from visual references — film, photography, brand and design. Collect spaces, surfaces and architectural details. Turn a script into a visual direction for every location.

No. Uploads are analysed for search as they land, so describing what is in the picture works from the start. Suggested tags are there to confirm or reject when you want sharper results.

Yes. A gallery shared by link or published opens in any browser. Guest uploads let collaborators add files to a shared gallery with just a name and an email.

If references are shared across a department, Team: five seats, shared galleries and 10,000 uploads. On your own, Solo covers everything above for one person.

Other questions? Our team typically responds to all support inquiries within 24-48 hours.
