Great on set framing app

My framing app of choice for set work. Intuitive, easy to use and very reliable.

Helped me visualize my film!

Excellent app, and especially appreciated it accommodated 16mm film/lenses! Was able to capture photo and video references during my tech scout. Posting a reel on IG about it now! @femmeregard

Field of view is not accurate AT ALL

The entire premise of ANY directors viewfinder is you get an accurate preview without hauling a camera around. The field of view on this is not accurate at all.

I prepped with the app, then on shoot day, we had to entirely change a shot because the camera couldn’t be on the process trailer. It had to be 3 feet further back to get the shot we wanted, which put us on the trailer hitch. Complete waste of money. Go with one that is industry standard if you actually have a film with budget.

Fantastic

Loved the app

Response from developer

Thank you for your kind review!

Awesome App

The app is exactly as described, full featured, and replaces more expensive directors view finders. From what I’ve seen so far, it has been completely accurate. The only thing that I did notice is that it does not have the 7Artisans Spectrum cinema lenses included in the list so I am unable to get an accurate representation of the equipment I own. with a plethora of independent filmmakers out there it seems like a no-brainer than more of the budget line cinema equipment would be available in the app. Because many of them, like myself, can’t afford the $40,000 lenses.
