Oh, please, come up with a version of this app for Android! Not all of us have an iPad or iPhone, but still work in the business. Thanks!

I used it over the weekend for a narrative part of a music video. My ONLY gripe is you cannot use the iPad created shotlist on iPhone or vice versa. Strange.

[...] far, overall response has been extremely positive, here’s what nofilmschool.com said about it: “The live mode is truly what separates this app from anything else [...]

I think it needs cloud-based sync, not just email. There should be a single document of truth and not a single iPad of truth. And ideally integration with other parts of the workflow. But it’s a very nice app for $10.

Really nice looking app! A steal at $10 or $20. Lots of very useful features. I agree with the suggestions above for improvements. I hope they expand to Android as well. But I understand why they started with iOS based on Apple prevalence in the film industry.

Told you this would be an upcoming post.

Yeah that would be really cool. I’m sure we will see stuff like that in the future with this app – as well as similar apps from competitors.

Looks great. Definitely something I have been looking for some time now…one additional killer feature would be the option to import photos into the shotlister…that is the only thing I am missing…you come on set…you take a couple of shots with your ipad and you import them into the list to get the visual feel of the scene…that feature would be awesome…

I invested early in shot lister as I agree with what you said about $10 being a steal. Just a headsup for those considering: this is not movie magic yet. It’s missing a couple critical things that will take it to the next level. For example, a one line schedule should always have a box for which cast members are in a given scene. It’s critical to know which actors are in the scene for pretty obvious reasons. I’m working on a baseball movie with 100+ cast members, so shot lister wouldn’t really do it for us.

I’m confident the company can work these fixes into subsequent upgrades so I spent the $10 without thinking twice. Also $10 is a steal compared to the industry standard Movie Magic which costs around $600. I’m told students can get MM scheduling for $185 but that’s still a lot of money you might want to spend renting a couple lenses or other special equipment with.

I’m excited to use shot lister on the next project I direct or AD, and hopefully there will be an upgrade by the end of summer.
