cinella.For video crews of one to three
£19 a month runs the whole job.
One app from the enquiry to the invoice. The call sheet, the client’s page, the review cut and the invoice, all from one job, all on one link.
- 14 days free
- No card
- Cancel in one tap
- Built by a working UK crew
The job is in nine places and none of them talk.
- An email
- A spreadsheet
- A shared doc
- A transfer link
- Notes on your phone
- An invoicing app
- A calendar
- Your head
Every one of those is you, at night, moving information between apps that were never meant to know about each other. None of that is the filming. All of it is unpaid.
Cinella is the one place, and the client gets one link.
Six stages, one app, one link for the client.
The order below is the order a job actually happens in. That is also the order it happens in inside Cinella.
- 1 of 6
Enquiry
They fill the job in for you. Your own enquiry form. What comes back becomes the job, so nothing gets retyped.
The enquiries inbox, with a new one waiting. - 2 of 6
Agreement
Contract and questionnaire on one link. Agreed and confirmed before the day, with no account for them to create.
The working terms, as the client agrees them. - 3 of 6
Shoot day
Run of day, kit, shots, Set Mode. The day laid out once. Set Mode is the one screen you look at with cold hands.
The run of day in the shoot editor. - 4 of 6
Review
Notes on the timecode, rounds counted. Watermarked review copy. Every note pinned to the second. The fourth version is visibly the fourth.
A cut in review on the client's page, notes pinned to the timecode. - 5 of 6
Delivery
Approved in one tap, on the same link. Your client sees what was approved and when, next to the invoice. No new link, no “can you resend it”.
An approved film on the client's page. - 6 of 6
Invoice
Built from what was agreed, so the number is not a negotiation. You see the day they open it, and the polite reminder is already written. One tap sends it.
An invoice, with the day the client opened it.
Built for the jobs a small crew actually does.
Brand films
An enquiry from a marketing lead, a contract with two rounds of changes, a shoot day with a call sheet, and an invoice with a deposit. The whole thing on one link.
Social content
A month of Reels for a café. One shoot day, one review round, one invoice. The client picks from the proofs on their page.
Events
A long day with a run of day that changes. Set Mode on your phone, the crew on the call sheet, the film approved on the client's page.
Weddings
A questionnaire before the day, a call sheet for the crew, and a review link the couple can open on their phone.
Shoot day
The one screen you look at with cold hands.
Set Mode turns the plan into the day. The clock, what is happening now, what is next, who to call. Tick shots off at arm’s length. Nothing else on the screen, because on set nothing else matters.
- Built from the call time and the wrap time you already typed
- Works on the phone in your pocket, no app to install
- The crew see the same run of day on the call sheet
One link. It looks like a production company sent it.
They open a page with your name on it. The call time, the contract, the draft to watch, the approval button, the invoice. No account, no password, no seven attachments in a thread.
Your work already looks like a studio made it. This is the part that catches up.
“I just like having everything in one place. I'm not searching through old messages five minutes before a shoot anymore.”
Tom, videographer, Cheshire
“I've tried other production software and found most of it a bit over the top. Cinella feels much more suited to smaller production teams.”
Charlotte, filmmaker, Cheshire
“I was a bit sceptical at first, but after using it on a couple of jobs it's become part of my normal workflow. It just makes sense.”
Dan, filmmaker, Liverpool
“Production admin is probably my least favourite part of the job, so anything that makes it quicker is a win. Cinella's definitely done that for me.”
Emily, videographer, Manchester
£19 a month, or £190 a year.
Fourteen days free, no card. We’re not the cheapest way to run a job. A doc, a group chat and a free transfer link cost nothing. This is for when that stops being free in the hours it costs you.
- Your own enquiry form
- Contract and questionnaire on the client’s link
- Call sheet PDF, run of day and Set Mode
- Review with notes on the timecode
- Invoices with deposits and a one-tap reminder
- Every client, every shoot, no limits
Built by Harry, a working videographer
Cinella was built by a videographer who was running every job across four apps and a lot of evenings. It does the parts of the job that are not the filming, and it is used on his own shoots first.

No. Fourteen days free with nothing on file. If you do nothing, nothing is charged and the account goes read-only.

Does anything send without me
