Description
Blockshot is a previsualization tool built specifically for AI video generation. Describe a scene, build a simple 3D blockout, position characters and objects, control the camera and its movement, then export a reference clip for your AI video workflow. Instead of relying on prompts to explain complex camera directions, Blockshot lets creators visually plan and direct the shot before generating the final video.

Could you build this?
Partial While basic 3D scene builders are possible with Three.js, building a performant in-browser 3D camera timeline, keyframing, and video export pipeline requires non-trivial 3D graphics expertise.
What it would actually take: You would build this with Three.js or Babylon.js in React, integrating a camera animation timeline (like Theatre.js) and a client-side video rendering canvas recorder (using WebCodecs). The hard parts are smooth camera trajectory interpolation, performant asset handling, and export framing matched to specific AI video conditioning specs (like ControlNet depth/pose).
