Shot Designer was developed by Per Holmes, the creator of the renowned Hollywood Camera Work training, and has been developed in conjunction with major TV and Film productions. Shot Designer is based on the realization that neither Camera Diagrams, Shot Lists, or Storyboards by themselves give you a satisfying understanding of camera-blocking. The latest version of Shot Designer is 1.42 on Mac Informer. It is a perfect match for Viewers & Editors in the Design & Photo category. The app is developed by Hollywood Camera Work.

Fairly standard stuff I'm sure directors do, so this little app could make that process faster and provide better looking results for sure.For directors with no or low skilled crew there's a huge gap between seeing what you want and then having to translate that into the technically feasible for those who can't get inside your head. On a tiny budget this kind of pre-prep is absolutely invaluable.

There are so many useful little apps though, we could do with a suit of apps all linked in together.October 19, 2012 at 2:52PM, Edited September 4, 7:54AM.
