What is Spark Story?

Spark Story is a collaborative pre-production tool for virtual production. It lets teams write scripts, build 3D scenes, plan shots, and export everything to set — all from a web browser.

​
Where Spark Story fits in the ecosystem

Spark Story is the starting point of the Lightcraft virtual production pipeline:
  1. Spark Story — Write, design scenes, and plan shots in pre-production.
  2. Jetset — Capture camera tracking and composites on set using an iPhone or iPad.
  3. Autoshot — Bring tracked data into Blender, Unreal, After Effects, or Nuke for post-production.
Scenes built in Spark Story export directly to Jetset, carrying over assets, camera positions, and locators.

​
High-level workflow

A typical Spark Story workflow follows these steps:
  1. Write — Create or import a Fountain or Final Draft formatted screenplay.
  2. Build scenes — Arrange 3D assets, set up lighting, and position cameras for each scene heading.
  3. Plan shots — Record camera moves, organize shot lists, and share previews with your team.
  4. Export to set — Generate USDZ files and QR codes so Jetset can load your scene on an iPhone or iPad.
