Producers – Last minute changes? No problem. Control budget and simplify operations.
Actors – Realistic flows make phone acting a breeze. Type anything, only the scripted text will appear.
Directors – Think a call or text would improve a scene? Get it added in seconds.
Production Designers – use Film Phones to eliminate the back-and-forth between crew and third-party companies.
Graphic Designers – use Film Phones to free up time and budget for bigger scene-building projects.
Prop Standbys – Make realistic graphics in minutes and amends in a few clicks (and avoid getting shouted at when something goes wrong. just us?).
In our 15+ years as Standbys, we noticed most film and TV productions using prop phones have a common challenge:
Phone graphics go wrong, a lot.
Usually, it’s due to something trivial like a typo or continuity error caused by a change to the script.
But that’s all it takes to hold up filming while new graphics are created, animated, sent and uploaded (fingers crossed you have signal). All at extra cost to art department and production budgets. And added stress to everyone involved. Especially standbys, whose job it is to make sure prop phones work as they should.
We developed Film Phones to give on-set teams (ourselves included) the tools to create realistic prop phone graphics and flows they can amend instantly—fully offline.
It helps make filming more efficient. So your talent’s thumbs spend more time scrolling and tapping and less time twiddling.
We’d love for you to give it a try.

Film Phones is available on the Apple Store and Google Play Store.
We’ll send you links to both stores when you sign up for a free trial or paid package on this website. Or, you can find it by searching for ‘Film Phones’ in either place. Just know, you’ll need to sign up first to access all features.
Yep – your package covers every prop phone on set, with unlimited graphics on all devices. Go wild and give every character a smartphone, if you like.
Film Phones works on iPhone devices running iOS 13.0 or later and Android devices running Android 6.0 or above.
We do recommend using more modern, faster processing phones as apposed to cheap old ones but we understand budgets can be tight. Best thing to do is download the free trial and give the app a spin on your old phones to double check.
