## Shot Designer Description
WHAT IS SHOT DESIGNER?

• CAMERA DIAGRAM - Shot Designer dramatically speeds up the Director's process of making camera diagrams. Create full-blown diagrams in seconds. The software does most of the work.
• ANIMATION - Animate your characters and cameras to move around your diagram in real-time. Previsualize the rhythm of a scene by seeing it play out.
• SHOT LIST - The integrated Shot List is tied into the diagram and writes itself while you work. Edit shots intuitively in the diagram, not in a confusing spreadsheet.
• DIRECTOR'S VIEWFINDER / STORYBOARDS - Bring in lens-accurate camera angles via the integrated Director's Viewfinder or Storyboard Import.
• MAC/PC DESKTOP VERSION - An identical Mac/PC Desktop Version is included with the Pro Version (in-app upgrade).
• SYNC & TEAM SHARING - Sync your scenes across all your devices. Share scene folders with teams. Control who owns which scene. (Pro Feature)

CAMERA-BLOCKING ON STEROIDS

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 -- you have to use them *together*.

Shot Designer is FAST. The app knows how Directing works and automatically does most of the work for you. Cameras rearrange themselves when you move characters. Animate characters and cameras with simple Walk To and Track To commands. Create sophisticated tracking shots with multiple marks. Shot Designer is fast enough that you can rearrange the diagram with actors waiting.

OTHER FEATURES

• Integrated Set Designer for building floor plans.
• Integrated Lighting Designer for DPs, with lighting symbols provided by Ari Golan of Atomic Imaging Studios Chicago.
• Import production drawings as backgrounds and block on top of them.
• Factory Templates of pre-made camera setups for any situation.
• Make your own templates as starting points for new scenes.
• Large and growing prop/furniture library. Email us requests, we'll build them.
• Scene Freeze: Experiment easily by taking snapshots you can return to (Pro).
• PDF/JPG/Excel export and emailing of Camera Diagrams and Shot Lists (Pro).
• Unlimited Folder Structure for organizing scenes (Pro).

The Free Version of Shot Designer is full-featured except for Save, Export and Sync/Team. Your current scene is always saved, and you can be fully productive working on one scene at a time. The Pro Version (in-app upgrade) adds File Management, identical Mac/PC Desktop Version, Sync and Team Sharing, PDF/JPG/Excel Export and more.

## Shot Designer Reviews in United States

### **--- "Bring in your own design"
If only there was a way to bring in your own designs as too many of the same things can be overwhelming and confusing at times so maybe a way to quickly be able to create your own elements will be a nice addition to it.
-- Master Dorkman, 2025-01-03

### ***-- "Great App that Now Feels Outdated"
This app has been an essential to my workflow as a 2nd 2nd AD but it has been the same for years. It needs Apple Pencil integration that will turn it to a monster of shot designing BG Charting App for me and there should be more props and set tools. Exporting PDFs would be another key element. Hope it doesn’t get abandoned and I would be happy to rate it higher and pay for the premium!
-- RealSorak, 2024-11-12

### ****- "One of the best apps for a Film Director"
This app is great for designing character and camera movement, but it is definitely in need of an update. One ability I would like to have it the ability to import a background Image from the Files app not just the photo library.
-- MattMacedo, 2024-04-24

### ***** "Pre-production king"
So helpful for visualizing shots and layouts for myself or the team I’m working with. I love the simple tools for quickly building out sets and props.
-- Loose Socks, 2023-12-20

### *---- "The login is not working on iPhone"
An excellent handy app, but it needs an update. Also, user login does not work on iPhone devices for mounts.
-- Mike MicSar, 2022-11-26

### *---- "Is this dead?"
It’s been more than a year since the last update, it still has the framing of an iPhone 7 and the graphics of an iPhone 5S. Is this dead or is there going to be a updated version with up-to-date UI, graphics, and additional assets?
-- Zavafilms, 2022-11-22

### **--- "Badly in need of an update"
While there are many undeniably useful and clever features, this app is in desperate need of an update. For one or two scenes it works great, but when prepping a longer film there are a few things that would save huge amounts of time:

- assignable character names: writing every character in every scene is a huge time sink
- moveable background images
- Scene metadata for automatic camera labeling
- ability to import custom elements! This would be HUGE and fix the problem of missing lighting units, etc

The UI also feels ancient, which isn’t really an issue but a refresh would make using the app much more pleasant.
-- Gabe cc, 2022-07-22

### *---- "What Happened?"
Great tool I always use but recently there has been a glitch in the app where it doesn’t fill up the whole screen! Please fix!
-- El_mit, 2021-10-07

### ***** "The Best"
This app is an essential filmmaking tool. I’ve used it on everything from commercials and short films to TV drama and it’s fantastic. Stable, intuitive, easy to use, easy to read for Crew to understand what you’re trying to achieve. Currently shooting a high end tv drama and sending out my floor plans to all the crew weeks in advance so when we rock up to set everyone already knows what we’re doing - saving me so much time and energy to be creative. I create a Dropbox with pdfs of the plans and constantly update it so the crew always have the latest versions. Also the response from customer service etc is fantastic.  Honestly, couldn’t work without it now.
-- BENGUTTERIDGE, 2021-07-22

### ***** "Tip Top for preps"
I have been using this email since many years now, after it has been highly been recommended by our camera teacher who works with haneke. After getting a new computer I had to manage my account - the customer service was excellent. I'll be using Shotdesigner many more years.
-- Elofai, 2020-07-17
