Top 3 Apps To Help You On Your Next Production

At Big Media Creative, we care a lot about efficiency, and that’s why we rely on a few key tools that keep us organized. These are some of our top filmmaking apps. We use them on almost every production we take on.

1. Sun Seeker – Planning Around the Sun

Sun Seeker is one of our top filmmaking apps when scouting a location. As a result, it has become a go-to tool in pre-production.
It lets us visualize the exact path of the sun. In addition, we can plan framing and decide what lighting tools we may need.

2. Cadrage – Accurate Field of View

Next is Cadrage, an app that gives an accurate field of view for any sensor size and lens package. Because of this, we can quickly review setups on set with the director and other department heads. Moreover, it helps everyone stay aligned before we roll camera.

3. Shot Designer – Overhead Shot Planning

Then comes Shot Designer, another app we turn to first for video production. It lets us plan shots from an overhead perspective, which is extremely helpful. For example, we can drop in cameras, lighting, and even architecture. As a bonus, the app also creates a clear shot list for scheduling the run of day.

Bonus App: Polycam

Finally, we have one more bonus tool we really like. That spot goes to Polycam. It uses a phone’s LiDAR scanner to create accurate 3D models of a space. Overall, these apps help us work faster and smarter on every production.
