cinella.How it works
One job, start to finish. What you do at each stage, what your client sees, and the actual screens.
Enquiry
They fill the job in for you.
What you do
Put your enquiry form on your own website, or send the link.
It lands in your inbox with the project, the date they have in mind, the budget and their message.
Two taps turn it into a client and a shoot. Nothing is retyped.
What your client sees
One short form, on your site or on a link.
A reply from you, not an auto-responder.
Agreement
Terms agreed before the day.
What you do
Send the working terms and the questionnaire on the client's link.
If you change the terms later, the version they agreed is kept as it was.
What your client sees
Reads the terms and agrees with a typed name. No account to create.
Answers the questionnaire, and the answers land on the shoot.
Shoot day
The day laid out once.
What you do
A call time and a wrap time build the run of day. Kit and shots sit on the same shoot.
The call sheet prints as a PDF, a crew version and a client version, with your logo and colour.
On the day, Set Mode on your phone shows the clock, what is next and who to call, and nothing else.
What your client sees
The client version of the call sheet on their page: where to be, when, and who they will meet.
No crew numbers, no kit list, no internal notes.
Review
Notes on the timecode, rounds counted.
What you do
Upload a cut. It is watermarked with your name and capped at 1080p.
Their notes arrive as one round, each pinned to the second. Rounds are counted and both of you can see the count.
What your client sees
Watches the cut on their link.
Adds a note at the moment it applies, sends the round, and approves in one tap when it is right.
Delivery
Approved on the same link.
What you do
The approval and the date sit on their page next to the invoice.
You send the master however you send it now. The final film is not delivered through Cinella, and the page says so.
What your client sees
Sees what was approved and when.
The delivery stays live for the number of days you set, then archives.
Invoice
Built from what was agreed.
What you do
The invoice is built from the agreed terms and the deposit already recorded.
You see the day they open it. If it goes quiet, the reminder is already written and one tap sends it.
What your client sees
Sees the invoice on their link with your bank details, and pays you by bank transfer.
Sees what has been paid and what is left.
All of it on one link.
Whatever stage the job is at, your client opens the same page under your name. The shoot day, the terms, the cut, the files and the invoice, in one place, on their phone.

Questions people ask
Does my client need an account
No. One link with your name on it, protected by a passcode. Everything you send them is on that page.
Does anything send without me
No. Nothing goes to a client unless you tap send. The reminder is written for you, and you send it.
Does it work on a phone
Yes, in the browser. Set Mode is built for a phone on set, and the client's page is built for the phone they will open it on.
Is the final film delivered through Cinella
No. The review copy is, watermarked. The master goes the way you send it now.
