Surprisingly, a wide variety of people using it in ways that I would have never thought.

The reason I built it is because I actually own a motion graphics studio.

And in the early days, I knew we had the storyboard and there wasn't a tool that existed.

So we were using Apple Pages templates and then eventually moving to Google Docs just because there was some crude form of collaboration there.

And it was just so tedious to make changes to that.

And I was always studying entrepreneurship and I just kind of wanted to try something.

I never thought it would be a storyboarding tool, but actually the funny thing was I had that idea and I actually saw a competitor launch and it gave me the inspiration to kind of, you know, validated that idea.

And I thought, well, if this, if this then, and ironically enough, they were also a motion graphic studio.

So I thought, well, if they're solving the same problem that they have,

then my idea is actually valid.

And I went ahead and started mine at the same time.

So I use that as a way to encourage me rather than discourage me.

So that's kind of the... I forgot the first question you asked.

I feel like I went on a tangent there.

Exactly.

So Frame.io solved that problem for reviewing finished videos.

But there wasn't really an application to solve it for the storyboarding part.

So in my background, I used to be a freelance animator.

And I got so upset being spun in circles by people that could afford to waste my time, essentially.

Yeah.
