Applications
One surface, three ways of working.
Animation & Film
Where CinemaBoards started: whole sequences printed, pinned in order and rearranged in front of the team.
- Sequence and beat boards
- Story and edit reviews
- Character and colour reference
Creative Teams
Campaign routes, concept art and development sketches compared side by side rather than clicked through.
- Campaign and pitch walls
- Concept art and level reference
- Product development sketches
The board
Four things that decide how long it lasts.
Borderless fabric face
The fabric wraps the face and the edges, so there is no frame or trim on the front. Boards sit edge to edge and read as one continuous surface.
Commercial-grade fabric
A high-durability fabric made for commercial and severe-duty use, water, soil and mildew resistant. Work goes up with pins — no tape, no adhesive, nothing left on the wall behind.
Gatorboard core on a wood frame
A 1/2 in high-density foam core keeps a full 4 × 8 ft panel flat and stiff at about 15 lb, with a solid wood internal frame and hardboard back carrying it from behind. 1 1/4 in overall.
French cleat mounting
Two cleats on the back of the board and one wall rail come with every panel. The rail goes up once; the board lifts off and re-spaces along it.
Configurations
Start with one board.

Board dimensions are the panels. Surface dimensions are those panels butted together. If you want a reveal between panels, add it to the overall surface width and height. Sheet counts are calculated from paper dimensions, allowing 1 in between sheets and 2 in clear at each board edge. They are planning figures for laying out a wall.

FAQ
Practical questions.
What exactly is a CinemaBoard?
A large-format, borderless pin-up panel. A rigid gatorboard core sits on a solid wood internal frame with a hardboard back, and the fabric wraps the face and the edges, so nothing frames the front. It is 1 1/4 in thick overall and about 15 lb for a 4 × 8 ft board, and it hangs on a French cleat. Combine boards to build a review surface the size your room allows.
What sizes are available?
Standard boards are 4 × 4 ft and 4 × 8 ft. A 4 × 8 ft board hangs with its long edge horizontal or vertical. Custom sizes are available on request — describe your wall in the quote request.
How do the boards attach to the wall?
On a French cleat. Two cleats and one rail come with every board. The rail goes up once, level, and the board drops onto it. Afterwards the board lifts off and re-spaces along the rail.
How is work attached to the board?
With pins pushed into the fabric face — no tape and no adhesive. Boards are made for paper. Heavy material samples — stone, tile, thick timber or metal — should not hang from a pin on any fabric board; those need a shelf or a tray.
What does it cost, and how long does it take?
Every wall is quoted as a configuration: boards, mounting components, packing, freight and taxes, itemised, with exclusions shown. Lead time is typically 2–6 weeks depending on board size and order size, and your date is confirmed in writing with the quote.
