Shot Designer: The Future of Production Planning

Shot Designer by Hollywood Camerawork is a relatively new app for all platforms (iOS, Android, Mac, & Windows) that is revolutionizing Hollywood productions by putting set design, camera movement, light placement, and much more at your fingertips—literally. The beauty of this application is its ease of designing complete setups, whether simple or complex, in a matter of minutes. Not only can you design your entire shot, but you can animate almost everything in it; anything from cameras, to actors, even cars can be animated. For even more use, the Shot Designer application has built in sharing via Dropbox, allowing easy sharing and group editing of shot setups to your entire cast and crew, no matter what operating platform they use.
