Best Tool for setting Scenes and Shots
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.

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

Kickass
As a film student, id like to say thank you for keeping the basic package free as well as the directors viewfinder. Great tool for anyone on set!
Perfect.
Most film apps fail to do the iPad justice. Not Shot Designer-one of only three excellent apps for Directors- this app is intuitive, productive, and indispensable. Only $20? A miracle. Keep up the great work Hollywood Camera Work.
Pretty good, but not perfect
Title says it all. It is a very useful director's finder and worth it for just that feature.
Fast and helpful
Works well for planning and for noting down blocking and camera moves on the fly. A real joy - and quick enough it doesn't get in the way. Like being able to import maps and floor plans, wish it didn't misunderstand what I'm clicking occasionally, but otherwise very useful! Love it.
Amazing app, really useful!
Easy to use and get to grips with and the results are perfect for directing lighting set ups to other crew members. Sometimes it can be hard to click on certain objects when they are close by each other and can be frustrating but apart from that, no complaints!!
