Shot Lister 1.0 App Release:
Reel Apps announces the release of Shot Lister 1.0 on the App Store, the first truly professional shot listing app for filmmakers. Filmmakers can take that crumbled piece of paper out of their back pockets and touch the digital future of shot listing. Now, instead of scribbling over printed out spreadsheets from a week ago, filmmakers can get back on track with a flick of a finger.
Shot Lister is designed for the iPad and iPhone by indie filmmaker, Zach Lipovsky, star director from Spielberg’s On The Lot and his experiences as a director guided the design, look and feel of the app: it’s the only app to digitally build, organize, schedule and share shot lists from pre-production right through to the minute-by-minute decisions on set.
And for its launch it’s on sale for $9.99 for one week.
Shot Lister’s Unique Features:
UNIVERSAL – share Shot Lister files on any iOS device, as well as full Retina Display Support.
INDUSTRY GRADE – Easily organize and store hundreds of scenes and thousands of shots with the flick of a finger
SCHEDULING – The only software available to easily create a shooting schedule on a shot by shot and minute by minute basis.
LIVE MODE – Experience the ground breaking “Live” production mode to see exactly how you are doing to the minute, and re-organize the day in a matter of seconds.
FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE – customize and order every category to your taste and needs. Also features a 24HR time preference.
DESKTOP IMPORT – Build shot lists in Excel or Numbers using our website templates then import them directly into Shot Lister
SHARING – Export PDFs of your shot list with or without estimated times, or share the entire Shot Lister project file via email with other crew members.
MULTI-CAM SUPPORT – Assign shots to different cameras and group them together to shoot simultaneously. Supports up to 11 cameras
CALENDAR VIEW – On iPad, display your entire shooting schedule as a calendar, just like the production board in the office.
COMPATIBILITY: Universal iOS 5.0+
About Reel Apps & Zach:
Reel Apps is about filmmakers creating apps for the industry – apps that save time, decrease paperwork, increase efficiency and look good doing it.
Zach Lipovsky, the designer of Shot Lister 1.0, is an indie filmmaker who shot to fame as the youngest filmmaker and only Canadian on Mark Burnett and Steven Spielberg’s search for the best new director on the TV series, On The Lot. Then, while directing his first movie, a horror flick for SyFy, he created a temp version of the app to use on set and with rave reviews from crew, decided to create the full iOS version.

Why not treat your audience to a quick movie?
Is 15-30 seconds quick enough?
Seriously. The Fhilly Fifteen[sec]Film Festival is searching for the greatest 15-30 second movies ever made and we think your readers will get a jolt out of what we are turning up.
The early response has been great and we hope your readers will find this project as interesting and fun as the few thousand folks who have already discovered our website in our first 2 weeks.

Hello,
Recently we visited your blog (http://www.filmdailies.com/) and found it very relevant. We would like to do a guest post on your blog. This would offer a very informative content to the visitors of your blog and will have one link pointing to our website. The guest blog will be written by one of our faculty members.
About our school, we are one of nation’s top film schools and offer various film related courses from our NY and LA locations.
We look forward to your reply and the opportunity to work with you.
Thank you,

How are you doing,
My name is Xavier Burgin. I am contacting you about possibly featuring a post using the film I have in the Lenovo Seize The Night Alternate Ending Competition
Here is the link to review it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSTFdk4GqBU&feature=youtu.be
Just some extra info. Lenovo, the world’s 2nd largest PC vendor, teamed up with Campus Moviefest to allow 15 filmmakers to make alternate ending videos for an earlier film they made (Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoXr6sQlaRk).
Now each of the films are in a competition where whoever gets the most views wins $15,000. This has been especially big for me since I just graduated from The University of Alabama, so I was working as an alumni along with current undergrads as I made my transition from the South to California to start working as a freelance videographer.
Here is a behind the scenes video for it as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDTuQf4JJrg
Thank you for your time,
Hi Kraz,
We at Zooppa thought you would like to know that Challenge Butter is hosting a video competition open to all filmmakers on creative ways to make people think good things about Challenge Butter.
I know you have a community comprised of creative people, full of big ideas and talent, and am confident that this great opportunity would encourage them to create unique and compelling pieces, as well as a good opportunity for emerging filmmakers/producers/actors/directors to break into the film industry and gain recognition with large corporations. There is $15,000 in cash prizes to be won.
The challenge is:
“What creative ways can you come up with to make people think good thoughts about Challenge Butter? How does Real Challenge make a Real Difference? How does Real Challenge provide Real Flavor?
Do you have a “quick” idea? Fit that into a 15 second video. 30 second videos are ideal. Need more time? You can run all the way up to 90 seconds.”
For more information about the contest requirements and how to enter, please view the brief . We hope you spread the word of the contest to all the aspiring filmmakers out there!
Please email me if you have any further questions.
Thanks,
Zooppa
