For instance, when I'm walking around a location lining up shots with a viewfinder app like Artemis Director's Viewfinder, I prefer to use my iPhone because it's small, light, and easy to handle. Likewise, when I'm blocking cameras and actors with something like Shot Designer, I prefer working with my iPad's larger screen. Taz: I use both every day! Each device excels at certain filmmaking tasks. Peachpit: Do you prefer to use your iPhone or iPad for filmmaking? The book is designed to bring aspiring filmmakers up to speed while encouraging pros to rethink their out-of-date workflows. I wrote this book for that kid, and her older brother who's studying film production in college, and for their father who's been making films the same way for years. iPhones and iPads have totally democratized the filmmaking process. A twelve-year-old girl with an iPhone might already be writing, shooting, and editing next year's Sundance winner. Taz: I wrote the book for any and all iDevice-owning filmmakers, regardless of age or experience, who love telling stories and are eager to discover ways to do it better.

After using the app for a few minutes, I was hit with a powerful realization: with the right apps and accessories, the iPhone would soon become the most versatile filmmaking tool ever created! That's when I launched.

This was the first professional app designed specifically for filmmakers. Using my iPhone in this way was handy, and it absolutely appealed to my film nerd sensibilities, but at that point, I don't think understood the significance of what I was doing.Ī couple years later, after Apple opened the iOS platform to outside developers, Hitchcock was released (and later renamed Storyboard Composer).
I integrated my first generation iPhone the day after it was released. I was using the Notes app to compose and store shot lists and scene notes while I was hanging out at the craft service table.
