Screencurve

Screencurve analyses film and TV material and writes the format bible for an episode or a series. Every finding links to the timecode and frame it came from, so a producer can check it in the player.

Every finding can be checked at its timecode

An analysis nobody can verify is worth little on a real production. In Screencurve every statement about an episode is tied to an exact position in the material, with the frame beside it. One click opens the scene in the player. The whole interface was designed around that rule.

The Challenge

What makes a format work is usually known only to the people who have watched it. That knowledge sits in notes and memory, and every new question about dramaturgy, characters or continuity starts another screening. A tool for this work has to earn the trust of production professionals: a claim about an episode counts only if it can be checked against the material.

The Solution

Screencurve takes an uploaded episode, reads image, sound, editing and dialogue, and writes a format bible that covers dramaturgy, characters, camera, pace, continuity and compliance. Each finding carries its timecode and frame. Ask the Film answers questions about a cut in conversation and links every answer to the scene. A character constellation maps alliances and conflicts, and the archive makes every analysed episode searchable. Production companies and groups have their own accounts, project access and credits. Only a proxy file reaches the model, storage and processing stay in the EU, and the material is never used for training.
