The 3D layer will render your blocking in 3D in real-time. After that, Shot Designer will get new development resources, and we’ll implement our dream features - remember that we use Shot Designer ourselves, and we’re just as eager to get the features as you are.
A 3D layer for Shot Designer is in development, but Directing Actors is our #1 priority until it’s out. There are many small things we’re not mentioning, and some major things are also not mentioned because they’re quite simply really good ideas. Here are a few of the things we’re planning. It is in active development, and since we’re actually building this tool because we’re sick and tired of not having it, you can be sure that Shot Designer will have a long life. We have lots of things planned for Shot Designer.

Integrated Set Designer for building floor plans.The Director’s Viewfinder supports all major camera formats, so you get a perfect record of the exact lens used for a shot. Build your scene blocking and try out scenes while you’re on location!
Use the integrated Professional Director’s Viewfinder as both a storyboard replacement, and the ultimate location-scouting tool for Directors. Tip: Instead of drawing whole storyboard-sequences, just draw the keyframes that tell the story, then put it all together in the diagram. With Shot Designer, you can bring one of the main benefits of storyboards back into your camera diagram, which is seeing what camera-angles look like. Storyboards are great for action-sequences, but blocking drama is about coverage, and that’s easier to do in a diagram. Pre-visualize the rhythm of a scene by seeing it play out.Īnimating takes literally seconds, and your scene stays flexible, so you can keep changing it.
Any changes you make in the diagram update the shot list, and any changes you make in the shot list change the diagram.Īnimate your characters and cameras to move around your diagram in real-time. Edit shots intuitively in the diagram, not in a spreadsheet.Įverything in the app is connected. The integrated Shot List is tied into the diagram and writes itself while you work. Shot Designer gives you a superior understanding of your scene, and is the ultimate Director’s creativity tool. 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 makes it ridiculously easy to block complex scenes, complete with Camera Diagram, Animation, Shot List, Storyboards, Director’s Viewfinder, and Sync & Team Sharing.
