Frameharbor product concept in a branded setting

Project overview

Frameharbor explores how animation teams keep creative feedback connected to the exact shot and version being discussed. A cinematic viewer gives the artwork priority, with a sequence timeline and storyboard wall providing wider story context. The concept extends into delivery review so the selected version and outstanding notes remain visible through the final handoff.

The challenge

Animation feedback often arrives as screenshots, time references and separate messages. A note can be clear in isolation but ambiguous once a shot is recut or a new render replaces the version originally reviewed.

  • Attach feedback to a specific frame and version.
  • Keep shot revisions connected to the wider sequence.
  • Make unresolved review notes visible before delivery.

Our solution

A frame viewer anchors the interface, with a bottom shot strip for context. Sequence editing uses a multitrack timeline, story planning uses a contact sheet and delivery review compares versions beside a checklist.

  • Inspect a shot with positioned annotations and contextual review threads.
  • Arrange shot thumbnails on a sequence timeline and inspect the selected clip.
  • Review scene groupings through an expansive storyboard contact sheet.
  • Compare render versions alongside delivery notes and a preparation checklist.

Key features

  • Shot review

    Inspect a shot with positioned annotations and contextual review threads.

  • Sequence edit

  • Frame annotations

    Place feedback on the part of the image being discussed.

  • Shot strip

    Move between related shots without losing sequence context.

  • Version comparison

    Review visual changes between two renders.

  • Scene groups

    Organize storyboards into readable narrative sections.

  • Audio references

    Keep a reference track visible during sequence review.

Technology stack

    The results

    Four concept views connect frame-level feedback with sequence-level decisions. The next evaluation would ask an animator to find the frame discussed in a note, compare its revision and locate remaining delivery feedback.
