How to prepare a studio plan that stays simple, readable and genuinely useful for the crew.

1. Start with the stage

Place the backdrop, the subject and the camera axis first.

Define the backdrop color, the subject position and the camera direction before adding sources. That gives you a clear base for every other element.

• Pick a backdrop that matches the intent
• Keep a readable axis between subject and camera

2. Place the key light

Add the main source and the camera before the accessories.

One well placed large source already covers many cases. Then place the camera so the real point of view stays clear for the crew.

• Soft portrait: large source at 45 degrees
• Interview: clear camera axis and simple key panel

3. Enable Measure

Verify the distances that matter at the right moment.

Measure mode quickly shows subject, camera, backdrop and light distances. That helps you validate a setup before building it and talk with numbers instead of impressions.

• Compare camera to subject and subject to backdrop
• Check the main light distance

4. Zoom to inspect

Use zoom to review circulation without losing the overall frame.

The mouse wheel on desktop and pinch on mobile help you inspect stand collisions, furniture placement and the overall readability of the stage.

5. Save a variant

Turn a preset into your own working version.

Load a base, adapt it to your studio, then save your own preset in the browser for future shoots or recurring clients.

6. Export and share

PNG, PDF or print depending on the need.

Once the setup is validated, export the image, the PDF or the printed view for the brief, the call sheet or pre production notes.
