INT.·YOUR BRAIN·NOW
FADE IN:
You've discovered SetOS, a prop operating system for film and TV that simplifies the use of devices on set.
Real iPhones running custom-built apps that look like the real thing. A console operator stands off-camera and fires per-scene cues exactly when the script calls for them: the incoming text, the dating-app match, the email push, the missed-call popup.
Live device mirroring means the operator and video village sees what the actor sees in real time. No more post-production screen comps. No more "do another take, we'll add the message later." The screen exists in the take.
Your actors hold a phone that does what a phone does. They tap, they scroll, they get replies to texts and DMs in real time, free to stay immersed in the performance and the world of the story. No greenscreen phones, no guessing at timing or emotion that VFX has to fix four months later. Just the real world in their hand, and a more genuine take in the can. The freedom of practical effects, applied to the most ubiquitous prop in modern storytelling.
[FADE IN: your production.]
SCENE 01
Live operator cues
The operator watches the actor's actions live, and fires off cued message replies, notifications, calls when the scene needs them, all from an intuitive, easy-to-use operator interface.
SCENE 02
Live mirroring to video village
Director, DP, script supervisor: everyone sees the screen, in frame, in real time. Mirrored over the local network, no recording delay.
SCENE 03
Bespoke UIs, cued to the take
Whether real-world apps or fictional ones, every UI is built bespoke for what the script calls for and cued up at exactly the moment the actor begins interacting. No friction, no extra steps.
SCENE 04
Hot-swappable assets
Production designers stage real or fictional content per scene without rebuilding the prop. Assets, logos, profile pictures, and other key details can be hot-swapped in real time on the operator console.
