The idea, before the first shot.

Treatment, moodboard and brief in one project. You write the beats, pin up the references, and Tilly AI delivers the first draft. You set the direction.

Watch a concept take shape

About 35 seconds from the real app: a moodboard with notes and references, then the treatment with beats, a to-do and an image.

Moodboard canvas: a sticky note reading Harvest b-roll: dew, hands, crates, all before 09:30, linked by a line to a greenhouse photo. A collaborator's cursor is labelled Jonas.

Notes on the wall, lines between them

Put stills, locations and sticky notes on the canvas and draw a line from the note to the picture it means.

What a concept is built from

The treatment is a document, the moodboard an open canvas. These are the pieces you build both from.

Put the look on one wall

Moodboard for an autumn food campaign: plated dishes, a knife through roasted squash, a farm with a church, a greenhouse and two sticky notes with locations and b-roll plans. Cursors of Lena and Jonas are on the canvas.

Stills next to locations

Food, light, the farm, the test kitchen. The references for every beat hang side by side, as big as you drag them.

Decisions on sticky notes

A note says which location it will be and where the backup is. It sits right where the pictures hang.

Everyone at the same wall

Collaborators show up by name at their cursor. Snap and guides keep the wall in order.

A treatment the crew can read

Treatment for an autumn hero film: five beats in 60 seconds, the beats Harvest and Kitchen craft with timings, a checked to-do for the drone permit, a reference image and the formatting toolbar over a selected phrase.

Beats with a time window

Harvest from second 6 to 12, Kitchen craft from 12 to 20. The structure is in the text before the first line of the shot list is written.

Open points as to-dos

The drone permit sits as a checkbox right under the beat it belongs to.

The picture in the paragraph

The reference still sits under the description it belongs to. Select a phrase and the formatting bar appears.

One concept for the whole crew

Two people at a desk going through a TillyBoard treatment with a reference image on a large monitor.

Several concepts per project

The creative concept, the moodboard and last year's first draft sit side by side, older versions in folders.

With its own shots

Concepts, moodboards and references live in the project, each with its own shots. The idea and the shot list stay together.

Frequently asked questions

What goes into a concept?

A document for the treatment and a canvas for the moodboard. The document takes headings, lists, to-dos, quotes, tables, images and PDFs. The canvas takes images, sticky notes, text and connecting lines.

What does Tilly AI do in the concept?

Tilly AI writes the first draft, you set the direction. It develops a concept idea for the project, summarises the active concept in a few sentences, or sharpens the core message and target audience.

Can several people work on the moodboard at once?

Yes. Collaborators show up by name at their cursor, and the top of the concept shows who is in the document right now.

How does the concept get to the client?

As a PDF export. Custom branding on exports is included from the Team plan up.

What does it cost?

You can start for free. The plans are listed under Pricing on the homepage.
