Artemis Director's Viewfinder App Reviews

Love this app! It will be a big help for my short film I am shooting. I would live to see thirds as an option to turn on and off, and the ability to shoot video! Great app. Thank you!

Keeps crashing with iOS 7 GM.

This is functions poorly with iOS 7 and the new 5s. Please send out a fix ASAP.

I use this all of the time! Just got the 5s and it doesnt seem to be recognizing the camera. I cant get an image at all.

I cant use it with my iPhone 5s and ios 7. I paid $30 for this piece of junk and it doesnt even work.

Both on my iPhone 4 AND now my new iPhone 5S has an accessory screen come up (to buy pro-type photo lens adapter) and it wont let me close it... meaning I cant use the app.

This is a genius and intuitive app. Between this, Helios, and pCam any DoP is set. It basically allows you to match the FOV of any camera/lens combination, and pays for itself in convenience on your first scout. The ability to take photos and record current metadata for storyboarding is invaluable. I only wish they had the option to make short vine style videos to replicate camera movements. Or to have the ability to add overlays like arrows and text boxes to the storyboard snap shots. Still, its a constantly updated and growing app and these guys know what they are doing.

1) Please fix the "all" button. Id like to select all and put them in a folder. 2) please find a way to reduce the file size of the PDF files so I can share more of my scout pics in one email. There are a few other things that should be fixed also.

I’m too lazy/forgetful to schlep around a viewfinder, so this is a great tool. I’m also prone to fill out blank storyboard sheets with chicken-scratch pictures. My stock has risen now with that I can export images from the app and create storyboards. Very useful stuff.

This app makes prep sooo much easier. Now you can easily save photos with all tech specs including camera type, lens, angle and height. Simplifies communication between director and DP. Can use as prelim storyboards. And on set makes picking a lens much faster. Love it!!!!

I bought this app from my iPhone and also wanted to use ok my iPad just like other apps. Unfortunately they created two different apps. Artemis is for iPhone and Artemis HD is for iPad. Think before where you want it. For now I downloaded iPhone version ok my iPad which doesnt look good. I am new to film making so I dont want to comment much about app.

I use this app a fair bit on major motion pictures. Taking a snapshot can be REALLY frustrating because there is strong likelihood of hitting the + lens button or the full frame button that are to either side of the snapshot button. Great app but cmon. Really? Especially when holding an awkward frame hi up or low down. A real pain to hit snapshot on touchscreen. Make it also the volume buttons just like Apple did!!

This is an excellent took to have on set. Directors marvel at how easy it becomes to approve frames, and how much easier communication about what were actually shooting has become.

When is full support coming for Red Dragon?

I can’t imaging going to a scout without it. Especially when combined with the iPro lenses.

I love this app. Ive shot my las three feature films using it. I recently update my device to iPhone 6. Im not sure if the angle of view stills correspond in this iPhone. Hope you realese an update soon. Best.

Adding Metabones Speedbooster support for all us micro 4/3 third users out there would be awesome. It would add value to our Boosters and allow us to see the field of view through those specific adaptors.

This was great for a year. Now it seriously needs updating. Does not have the latest sensors in there like the Epic Dragon. Currently disappointed considering this is $30.

We should be able to add the time and date when we take a picture. No update since last year!

It’s been couple weeks since I wrote an email to ask about when the update will be released. So it’s today. I like the polished new icon design as well as the UI. The idea of operation remains what I familiar with the older version, which did a good job on my passed iPhone 5. Hope you will improve this great app even better with functions such as…. 1. adding auto-rotation (otherwise my left hand fingers always shade the camera lens) 2. volume-button shutter release for image capture. 3. exposure adjustment while capturing image (just as what built-in iPhone camera app does.)
