Not only it can pinpoint the position of the sun, the moon, and stars, the Augmented Reality and light simulation allows you to visualize exactly what shots will look like at any location, at any time of the year or day. You can see precisely how light will illuminate and the shadows fall.

  • Multiple tools to explore sun, moon, and star data.

  • Light simulation on a range of virtual stand-ins.

  • Scarily accurate alchemy and celestial mechanics.

Shot Designer promises to make it “ridiculously easy” to block complex scenes. Shot Designer strives to be the ultimate film app for directors by combining camera diagrams, shot lists, storyboards, and animation all in one place. And, everything you create is inter-connected. Any changes you make in the diagram update the shot list, and any changes you make in the shot list change the diagram, and so on.

  • CAMERA DIAGRAM - Shot Designer dramatically speeds up the Director's process of making camera diagrams.

  • •ANIMATION - Animate your characters and cameras to move around your diagram in real-time.

  • SHOT LIST - The integrated Shot List is tied into the diagram and writes itself while you work.

  • DIRECTOR'S VIEWFINDER / STORYBOARDS - Bring in lens-accurate camera angles via the integrated Director's Viewfinder or Storyboard Import.


Clean Slate – Clapperboard & Log

Clean Slate is a tool to help you synchronize recording devices such as cameras and sound recorders in post-production by displaying a flash-frame and simultaneously playing a synchronization tone. Clean Slate allows you to enter notes and ratings for each take and save it on your device. In post-production (i.e. your editing software), line up the video at the first frame the device running Clean Slate flashes with the start of the sync-tone on the audio track(s).



Kodak cinema tools

An app for shooting on film seems a little bit contradictory, but Kodak created this free app to take the guess work out of working with celluloid film. The app features a film calculator and a depth of field calculator designed to simplify ongoing arithmetic.

If shooting in a 16 mm film at 24 fps with 58 feet of film left, how much running time do you have? No need to scratch your head, the Kodak Cinema Tools app does the work for you. Similarly, the depth of field calculator can help you determine the settings you need to get the focus you want.
