The text message.
On cue. Every take.
MoMBIE is the fake text message app for film and TV — a remote-controlled, clearance-safe messaging prop. Land texts, typing bubbles, read receipts and calls exactly when you call action, from a tablet at the monitor. No on-screen text replacement, no VFX in post, no reshoots.
Messaging shots quietly become the most expensive scene in the schedule.
Green-screen the phone, then pay a VFX artist per shot to comp the conversation back in.
The real conversation plays live, in camera. Nothing to fix in post.
Real iMessage or WhatsApp UI on camera means legal review — or a reshoot.
Seven original, clearance-safe interface skins built for broadcast delivery.
A rewritten line means re-shooting stills or waiting on a graphics vendor.
Retype the line on the tablet and fire it on the next take.
Two modes. One session code.
Pair a control tablet to the prop phone, then drive every pixel in real time — scripted lines, live messages, typing bubbles, brightness, colour and haptics.
Write the dialogue, set per-line delays, attach photos or video, and pick the platform skin. Or let the AI script reader import a page of screenplay.
Open Actor Mode on the hero phone and enter the session code. The device locks to the prop screen — nothing the actor taps can break the take.
Play the scene on a timer or step line by line. Fire ad-hoc messages, hold to show a typing bubble, trigger read receipts, calls and silent whisper cues.
Export a timecoded dialogue log as .txt or .json for continuity, editorial and the post-production handover.
Everything the screen has to do, in one control surface.
Play a written scene on timed beats, or fire any message instantly as either character. Hold to show a live typing bubble.
Trigger incoming voice or video calls, missed calls and lock-screen notifications on cue.
Flip the prop screen to green or grey with tracking markers in one tap, so post can replace it if the plan changes.
Match the phone to your LUT — exposure, contrast, temperature, vignette and grain — then lock the grade so it never drifts.
Brightness pinned to 100% with anti-flicker, so the screen reads cleanly at any shutter angle.
Silent haptic and visual cues — tap, buzz, flash, action, cut, hold — to the actor’s hand without a word on set.
Turn a script page into a full conversation with believable timing, or generate matching app icons and wallpapers.
Draw blocking notes straight over the monitor feed with adjustable brush and eraser.
Timecoded dialogue logs exported as .txt or .json for continuity and editorial.
The monitor, and what the camera sees.
Scene library, transport, live cues and quick actions — on the tablet at the monitor.
Notifications land on cue.
Typing bubbles and read receipts.
One prop, six departments happier.
Add a text or a call to a scene between takes, and shape its timing like a performance.
Take screen replacement out of the post budget and off the schedule.
A screen that holds exposure and never flickers on camera, at any shutter angle.
A phone that behaves. The scripted line lands on cue, whatever they tap.
Build and amend graphics on the floor in minutes, without a third-party vendor.
A timecoded log of every line that played, on every take.
Questions from the floor.
Yes. Every skin is an original design built for clearance — no trademarked logos, icons or wordmarks appear on camera, so the shot ships without a legal note.
Take control of the screen.
Pair your tablet, lock the phone, and send your first cue in under a minute.
