Nowadays, it’s no surprise that the iPhone for filmmakers is like a golf club for golfers. The advent of the iPhone, and consequently the App Store, has created a whole new world for us. Look at the App Store and see how many have created crucial apps to make our lives easier.
Here is a list of my top 5 essential Apps that I use most of the time during my scouting and shooting.
1. Sun Scout ($9.99)
The screenshots show how Sun Scout turns your phone in to the most powerful and natural interface possible: a magic lens. Point it at the sky to understand where the sun will be, and when.

2. DSLR Slate ($9.99)
DSLR Slate is the perfect companion for the DSLR Filmmaker. As a Universal App, DSLR Slate runs natively on iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Designed for all needs from student to hollywood, DSLR Slate will be just as useful as the traditional film slate, if not more. “Slating” shots has become standard practice on set and helps streamline shot logging and post production.
