Your look

Show it a video.
It learns the look.

Paste a link to a video whose style you want. The engine measures what that video actually does, builds your look from the measurements, and tells you the few things you would have to shoot yourself.

  • You paste a link.
  • It measures 9 things.
  • Your films come out in that style.
