The suncan be switched on or off, and its position changed to go with the story. Spotlightscan be adjusted for tilt, height, size and rotation. Floodlightsbecome very simple – move them up or down, adjust for brightness and use tuneable colour temperature presets from 3K to 6K. You can also add atmospheric effectsincluding snow, rain or smoke, and swap skies from clear to cloudy to night, before adjusting the lighting to match.
You begin designing your lights with ambient presets like daylight, overcast, red skies, night time, fluorescent and other interior lights - all of which can be fine-tuned with sliders. The lighting toolsare especially useful in ShotPro. The camera viewis shown as you work as a picture-in-picture display in the corner of your screen. You can set up a different, multiple-camera shoot, per scene. The camerasin particular are quite controllable for elevation, rotation, zoom, position and depth of field, and lenses are adjustable from 20mm to 350mm. The set space is a grid system, and as you add props, lights and characters, you use multitouch controls to move them about, fine tune the cameras and precisely block the action. To do this, you first nominate the length of the shot to keyframe, and then individually select the props, characters and cameras to animate and place keyframes along the timeline for each one.īlockinga scene, the start point of a project, is straightforward. From there, the movements of characters, as well cameras and props can be animated further with keyframing. These are more detailed, for example, their facial expressions can be customised to match script.Ĭharacters are manipulated and customised initially with pre-set moves, facial expressions and typical full-body actions like walks, runs and swimming. When you choose your characters, you see that some are marked ‘HD’. Characterscover all age groups in many different professions, dressed in diverse clothing styles. The propsare organised into categories such as plants, water features, effects, streets and vehicles, buildings and furniture, and lots of others, all of which can be keyframed and positioned.

While the Unity game engine is at the foundation of this tool, it has required quite a lot of coding on top of that to achieve the level of functionality, control and ease of use the team was looking for. Having these tools on a tablet or phone also meant that these tools could be taken out to a location or on a set, and used to work through and edit a filmmaker’s ideas, on the fly. We wanted to develop a tool that filmmakers, including people not confident with drawing, could use to plan projects creatively, experiment with moves, animation and sound track ideas, and to show clients a basic outline of their concepts.” Moving Storyboardsĭan and his team also said that, since they were already finding tablets and phones extremely useful on set, they decided that essential previs tools - including set and shot design, character animation, lighting, sound track and comprehensive camera control - would be great to add to the devices’ existing ability to share files over the internet. It has been developed by Dan Fearing and two colleagues in the US who between them share experience in short form video production, app development and programming, and puts genuine pre-visualization tools onto the iPad and iPhone.ĭan said, “The inspiration for ShotPro came when we were trying to use one of the off-the-shelf storyboarding packages and found it fairly awkward to use. ShotProis an iOS application made for directors, DPs, producers and other people who need to plan productions, communicate their ideas and work together on set.
