EchoSim turns a spare phone or tablet into a controllable prop screen for film, television, and commercial production. An operator controls, in real time, exactly what appears on the actor's on-camera device — incoming messages, phone calls, notifications, lock screens, social feeds, banking interfaces, maps, media players, and more — ensuring every screen looks authentic in-camera with no post-production tracking or compositing required. KEY FEATURES: • Live Operator Control: Trigger calls, drop incoming texts, or switch modules instantly between takes. • Instant QR Pairing: Connect the operator console and the prop device in seconds. • 60+ Screen Modules: Messaging, incoming/outgoing calls, social feeds, lock screens, navigation, vitals, finance, and camera props. • Fully Customizable: Adapt caller names, timestamps, chat threads, notification banners, and UI themes to fit your scene. • 100% Fictional & Safe: All brand names, logos, and services are purely fictional props and do not infringe on real trademarks. • Set-Reliable: Scene assets are cached locally so screens stay active even if on-set Wi-Fi drops mid-take. BUILT FOR: - Feature Films & Television Dramas - Commercials & Branded Content - Music Videos & Theatre Productions - Film School & Independent Filmmakers Try EchoSim for free and upgrade when you are ready to shoot your scene.
