About Backlot
Backlot is the collaborative 3D design tool for filmmakers.
We enable filmmakers to visualize, iterate, and plan their films with ease- all before getting to set. Virtually shoot films in our 3D platform and then share photo-real exports and blueprints with the entire team. With accurate cameras & lights, animatable characters, detailed sets, and a massive library of over 25,000 digital props, Backlot is the go-to software for filmmakers to digitally create their visions and win pitches.
About us
We're a tight team of filmmakers, product managers & engineers hailing from Google, Microsoft, and the MIT Media Lab, with short films that have premiered at Tribeca and the LA Film Festival. We're backed by investors like Y Combinator and titans from some of the largest film studios in Hollywood.
Backlot was featured a top startup in the YC S20 batch by TechCrunch and has a customer base that has been growing faster than we can handle since our launch. We've built a product that customers love and look forward to expanding our team!
Backlot has been used by large production companies and high profile creators like Wiz Khalifa .
