Hey there, I’m looking at producing my first documentary and one of the tools people use for that is called Studio Binder. It’s an all-in-one for making your scripts, shotlists, moodboards, location scouting, storyboards, production planning, collaborators management etc etc.

Any of you know of similar tools that are FOSS? I think some VFX/animation pipelines also have similar needs.

I already found storyboarder for making panels which seems amazing but I’m getting a bit lost in the jungle of options for the project management/scripting side of things. I’m considering Airtable for example but might be overkill for my needs.

Ideally it’s something tailored for filmmaking specifically but open to hearing about general purpose planners that can be adapted.

    Sure I usually use a language sensitive editor. They are ubiquitous. I use Spyder sometimes for Python. Mostly because it is handy for static code checking. Generally I use Geany or nano.

    Regarding Visual Studio. Used it for 15 or 20 years. Nice editor and debugger. For Windows is it is kind if required. Intel compiler tools for Windows were designed to be used with it too. Thankfully I am retired now. No need for Windows any more.

      Visual Studio got a lot better after Microsoft finally pulled their heads out of their butts and made it 64-bit. But, at least for .NET development, it is no longer required. VS Code is a viable alternative with some extensions, and JetBrains Rider is downright awesome.
