DirectorShot · x402

A real-time previz engine where every directorial decision is a micro-transaction. Pay 0.01 USDC to unlock a professional camera move, trigger a lighting state change, or export a frame to the production hub. No subscriptions—just high-fidelity pre-production metered by creative output.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the previsualization engine is metered with x402: 0.01 HBAR or 0.01 HTS USDC per call, paid from the embedded wallet, so videographers — or the agents working for them — pay per query and get a HashScan receipt every time.

Why this primitiveMoving from 'storing data' to 'paying for studio-grade tools' turns the tool into a professional utility. x402 eliminates the friction of pro-tier subscriptions for independent cinematographers, allowing them to pay only for the shots they actually draft.
