Shot Designer Reviews

I’ve given this a good run and am actually quite disappointed (especially now that I spent $20). Here are few of the biggest issues. 1: It would be nice to be able to duplicate an entire scene. If multiple scenes take place in the same location, then every time you want to make a separate scene you also have to build the “set” from scratch. I would like to be able to copy the entire set and drop/paste it into a new scene. 2: The idea of “pages” seems great on the surface but when you only have 5 pages available to you, it becomes a dud very quickly. I can keep adding to this list. You are so limited by functionality.

Excellent shot design tool

Stardust Particles

This is an excellent camera movement design tool for short films. It will be interesting to see how well it scales for larger projects.

Best Tool for setting Scenes and Shots

Tsetsoh

I've been using this app for several weeks now, and I have been very impressed with every feature. Setting up a shot (or several) is very easy and intuitive. All the built-in cameras, lights, characters, and props make this a quick solution. The integrated shot list keeps us organized. I have synced across two iPads and an iMac. As a novice film maker this app was an excellent teaching tool for me. Its integration with all facets of building shots, and the shot list helped me understand and build in the right way. I'm not certain what a previous reviewer was complaining about but it has done every thing it claims to do. Another plus is the outstanding support from Hollywood Camera Works. When I needed assistance a post on their forum got a very rapid response, and all the follow-up I needed.

The app is not working

One of my Dp Friend offer me to download this app ,I downloaded when I opened it ,I did not work ,it shows white screen that's all . I erased and re installed but still have that problem ,so if the app is not working properly so why do I have to keep it and what is the benefit for having this app...

Simply Awesome!

An indispensable tool that increases efficiency on set and makes sharing the details of any shoot easy. Wonderfully simple to use yet powerful for Professionals.

Cut!

The free version is worthless. The home page has a link to 6 different tutorials that are marketing videos that highlight features and are all identical. You can not animate your cameras or characters or save scenes unless you buy the app. What's the point?

Not supported any more?

Ecmproject

This is a wonderful app if you are using iPhones and cameras from 5 years ago. As far as I can tell now the app isn't really getting support outside of software updates and glitches. The field of views on the camera are basic and don't include a way to switch between sensor sizes on any modern camera, the aspect ratios are limited, and the last version of the phone in their list to match field of view is the iPhone 5S. Other than that it's a great diagraming app.

Incredibly useful

Sam Graf

I hope the developer did not abandon this app. It's an incredibly portable and powerful way for a filmmaker or director of photography to work out scene ideas. It helps amateur filmmakers take their craft to the next level. Sometimes spontaneity is the right way to go, sometimes careful planning, especially of something more complex than "selfie" videos, is the right way to go. Shot Designer is an invaluable tool for the latter. Thumbs up all the way. (BTW, the tutorial videos are all there, lower down on the page.)

does not work :/
