Shot Designer App for iPad

(by HollywoodCameraWork)

“Shot Designer makes it ridiculously easy to block complex scenes, complete with Camera Diagram, Animation, Shot List, Storyboards, Director’s Viewfinder, and Sync & Team Sharing via Dropbox. Neither Camera Diagrams, Shot Lists, Storyboards, or Animation by themselves give you a satisfying understanding of camera-blocking — you have to use them together. Shot Designer gives you a superior understanding of your scene, and is the ultimate Director’s creativity tool.”
