Implement feature to write the Script and Storyboard.
• To draw a story board and to write a script we must use two different software. Therefore, in this we are going to merge this two, and create one component.
• There are different styles to write and draw story boards for different production. Examples for different productions are tv commercials, movies, TV programs, games etc. Therefore, we will research and gather information about these things and create a component.
• By this user can customize the workspace according to their production and do their work.
• And these works will be link through the production process when they are needed. Examples script can be used to draw the story bord, story bord can be used in editing process.

Track the workflow and the budget.
• To do a production we need huge crowd. And it is very difficult to manage. Therefore, we are creating a workspace to organize and plan the production process and the to plan the budget.
• And when the production is started and to track the progress of the production, we are building production tracking system. From this we can track the work that people are doing. This tracking system will include chat box that have video chatting and calling.
• And In here it will provide an account to each and every member so that they can upload the things that they have done, and others can access it.
• And it will show the schedule of every person. And it will provide the new trends so that they can be updated, and clients can review the things and get the feedback.

Implement the Plugin.
• In the postproduction all the lighting and texturing work will begin. To do this we have to use different software.
• And it is difficult to share the data among this software. Therefore, from this we are creating a plugin that have capability to interact with software like 3dmax, Maya, Photoshop, Illustrator, Blender etc.
• From this it will give the facility to exchange files among this software.
• The existing program Prism only work with VFX and 3D software. From this we will focus on 2D software as well.

Implement a new method to Render.
• This rendering method will manage the scene files from creating assets, Sequences and shots and also manage file location and file name and let you identify scenes. And this will let you exchange data with other scenes and simple down complex export settings.
• Automating rendering workflow to handle rendering settings, file names, etc.
• You can compare and convert media and also work different and multiple projects at the same time.
