About PIX
PIX has worked closely with David Fincher and his No. 13 production company since Panic Room in 2001, developing tools and services that have fundamentally changed how feature films and television shows are made. One of the first directors to embrace digital cameras with his use of the Thomson Viper on Zodiac, Fincher and his team are constantly redefining technology as they seek to blur the line between production and post production and strive to automate the mundane and more clearly communicate their creative vision. On Netflix’s Mindhunter, Fincher again used the latest digital capture technology – custom RED Xenomorph cameras designed to his specifications, integrating all the usual camera components (wireless video transmitters, focus controls etc.) into the camera for a much more ergonomic design. But Fincher’s desire for innovation extended far beyond the camera, so he again turned to PIX.

Back-to-One
Back-to-One is a blocking and shot list tool for film and television directors and cinematographers, for iPad and Mac.
You place actors, cameras, lights and walls on a top-down canvas. From that same setup the app generates the shot list, an animated playback of the blocking, and a viewfinder preview computed from real sensor sizes and focal lengths across six formats including anamorphic. Canvas and shot list stay synchronised both ways.
The shot list is grouped by camera setup rather than by scene, so it reads in the order you actually shoot. Every shot carries a time estimate with totals per setup and per day. Shots are ticked off live on set, and dim and red-light modes keep the app readable on a darkened stage.
Import a screenplay as FDX or PDF and the project is built for you, every scene and character. Export set PDFs per camera position, call sheets, lighting plots and the shot list as PDF, Excel or CSV.
