Above & beyond

A cinematographer’s dream tool. Everything you could ever want in an app for on set work. Highly recommend!

Changed the way I look at the iPhone as a creative tool.

This app has made using the iPhone’s camera fun again. The way it renders images is like nothing else I’ve seen coming out of a phone. I zoom in on the photos and the grain looks just like my film scans. The different film looks are great, and I like that I can add my own looks instead of it being limited to what the app provides.
