How do you know if your screenplay is any good? That's the question we're here to help you answer. Is your story good? Does it fit the current market? Is it ready for production? These are important questions that have long been answered mostly by human experience. While human experiences are always at the center of LumaLogic, we go one step further and build an algorithm to provide you with a fundamental understanding of your screenplay, which allows you to make changes that will lead to critical improvements. This is how we unlock your #screenplay.

This is how you create an effective production: 1. Have a clear goal. 2. Make sure everyone understands it. When working in large groups i.e. a film set, team members can often feel isolated and lose their sense of direction. This leads to production inefficiency, miscommunication, and poor team morale. It's every good producer, director, or any department head's job to unite their crew through a shared vision. This is why we're working to remove communication barriers within hierarchical structures by creating tools that visualize ideas and provide a clear Blueprint accessible to the entire production. This promotes stronger chemistry between crew members, minimizes misunderstandings between departments, and protects your creative integrity. A great achievement requires a great team. And a great team starts with a great understanding of your vision. #filmmaking #productivity #innovation

A challenge in relying on automated analysis to tell you what to do with your screenplay is that it often struggles with fringe cases because it relies on averages—it doesn’t understand the nuances. We do. Take the opening sequences of Paramount Pictures' Star Trek: The Motion Picture. While some fans adore it, general audiences found it hard to engage with. It was a $40 million gamble in the late 1970s—a Marvel Studios-sized risk by today’s standards. Though it technically succeeded at the box office, its troubled reception led to constraints on its famous sequel. It wanted to take big risks and be unconventional, but it couldn't see what that unconventionality looked like until it was already filmed and put together. Risk is both rewarding and perilous. Play it too safe, you’re forgettable. Push too far, you lose money. The uncertainty of where you’ll land fuels many of Hollywood’s fiercest debates. When you’re aiming for unconventional, clarity is critical—and averages aren’t the right tool for the job. We are. Our narrative analysts work with our Blueprint Diagnostics toolkit—a suite of custom algorithms rooted in cinematic storytelling. By combining expert insights with these tools, we personally assess your screenplay with your artistic and business goals in mind. Automated averages can’t show you what your unconventionality looks like, nor give you the confidence that you need to take that notable risk that will set you apart. We will. At LumaLogic, it’s not man or machine. It’s man and machine. Because that’s how movies are made.

What does it mean when a story “falls flat”? It happens when there’s no tension between Emotional Opportunities and Narrative Complexity. 🎭 Emotional Opportunities are moments that let audiences connect—fear, triumph, hope, and tragedy. 📚 Narrative Complexity represents the density of your narrative—the more characters, objects, and actions present in a scene, the more complicated it is. Emotion alone doesn’t carry a story forward. A scene packed with raw feeling but no narrative momentum can feel stagnant. Similarly, a plot overloaded with twists but lacking emotional depth can feel shallow. When these two forces wrestle for control, your story comes alive: 📈 A climactic moment of triumph hits harder when it resolves tension built up by meaningful actions. 💥 An action-packed chase scene becomes gripping when the stakes are tied to emotional consequences. That's why we track and measure these dynamics across an entire screenplay. By identifying imbalances—where events stall or emotions overpower the narrative—we help filmmakers craft stories that captivate both the heart and the mind. Below is an example of our analysis on Star Trek (1979). We can spot the notorious opening segment where audiences are treated to a procession of events with almost no emotional opportunities to go with them, resulting in a lengthy, stagnant sequence (still love it, though). And we can do the same for your screenplay. (Who remembers that opening sequence?) #screenplay #filmmaking #innovation #AI

Most productions are spending way too much on correcting their own guesswork. What if we can change that? Our team at LumaLogic is working on extracting data from a screenplay, using it to visualize ideas, and calculating the most optimal way to execute it. We shouldn't have to keep using 20th-century's tools to make movies in the 21st century. As producers, you should know exactly where your money is going. As writers and directors, you deserve to see what your vision will look like. And we're here to do that for you. #filmproduction #innovative #technology

Chris LeDoux and Lumalogic are truly pushing the boundaries of innovation with their visionary approach to the craft. This is not just a new direction—it’s an inspired leap forward for filmmakers everywhere. With Chris at the helm, there’s no doubt this will be nothing short of state-of-the-art. Looking forward to seeing how this reshapes the industry and empowers storytellers to bring their visions to life. The future of filmmaking is here, and it’s bright with possibility! #Filmmaking #Innovation #Lumalogic #ChrisLeDoux #Storytelling #VisionaryLeadership #moonshinepost

What if you never have to guess if your screenplay is going to look good on screen? What if you can share the movie you've been imagining on the big TV instead of trying to explain it? Just by having a detailed blueprint that quickly let others see and understand your vision, you minimizes risks for both you and financiers. Less risks mean studios/financiers can feel more confident in supporting filmmakers, which then empowers them to be more bold and innovative. And what if we tell you, you can already do all of that? Because we do that here, at LumaLogic.

You have a vision for a film. But how do you protect it? Create a blueprint. Our founder Chris LeDoux believes that the best way to make a movie is by seeing it first. By pre-visualizing a movie: - Writers can make changes to fit the production - Producers can be more prepared - Directors can communicate their vision better - Studios can be more confident about where the money is going - The entire production can work more in-sync and efficiently And that's what LumaLogic is here to do. We give you the blueprint to your vision.

How do we keep the cost down while still making good #movies? Fix it in pre! #Producers spend the most time on pre-production doing a million things at once, like working with writers to finalize the screenplay, budgeting, and scheduling. This process is often manual and requires a lot of attention. A small overlook in pre-production can cause massive ripple effects all the way down to post-production, costing money and more importantly, time. This takes the focus away from what should be the most important: crafting a good story. To overcome this challenge, we came up with a new approach: 1. Fitness Check We start by building a data-driven script evaluation system that can give us a quantitative analysis of a screenplay's structure, highlighting its narrative balance, emotional engagement, complexity, and pacing. While this doesn't directly determine if a script is "good" or "bad", it allows us to understand the material better and make an informed decision on whether if a script is fit for production. 2. Script Processing We then extract critical data from the script using "ScreenKit" - it's a suite of tools we've developed, leveraging high-end computing tech. With this data, we can generate a #Previs of the screenplay, create a script breakdown that details the complexity in every scene, estimate setup & filming time, and more. This allows not only producers but also writers and directors to communicate their ideas and visions much better, which results in a better outcome. While we let the machine do the "manual labour", human supervision is always required to make sure we don't compromise our creativity. It’s important to note that the results we get are only estimates and can be wrong -- -- BUT they allow us to be wrong fast. By identifying problems quickly, we can learn, find a better solution, and move on. This let us maximizes efficiencies, cut cost, and save time. Work smarter. Not harder. How do you incorporate tech into your workflow?
