New single-user version of industry-grade
scouting app designed for film and television production, available
as public Beta
Fuzzy Door Tech, the innovative technology division of Seth
MacFarlane’s acclaimed production company Fuzzy Door, today
announced a public Beta of ViewScreenTM Scout, its real-time
scouting app for the iPhone.
In conjunction with today’s announcement, the company is
rebranding its production-grade scouting app, previously known as
ViewScreen Scout, to ViewScreen Scout Pro.
ViewScreen Scout provides individual users with the powerful
production visualization tools needed to scout a scene or shot –
from blocking and adjusting lighting and lenses to animating
characters – before filming begins. The Beta app is a single-user
version of ViewScreen Scout Pro and is available to try now. You
can request access to the Beta from viewscreen.com (here).
“ViewScreen Scout is an innovative scouting tool that puts the
power of production visualization into people’s hands to help them
achieve their creative vision. The app runs on an iPhone and is
easy to use wherever your project takes you – on location or a
small space that might be hard to navigate with bulky gear,” said
Faith Sedlin, president of Fuzzy Door Tech.
“Our new scouting app lets the entire production crew envision
how digital assets will blend into real-world environments before
the cameras start rolling,” Sedlin continued. “It’s the perfect
introduction to ViewScreen. It lets filmmakers scout a project
using their own assets to get a feel for how the suite of tools
works.”
ViewScreen Scout
ViewScreen Scout records how digital assets will look on
location or a soundstage – before filming begins. The app lets you
pre-visualize scenes, virtually walk through sets, block movement,
visualize lighting and more. With the ability to visualize and
animate digital assets and VFX in situ, reacting directly to what
you see on your iPhone means capturing the right shots in fewer
takes.
How it Works
ViewScreen Scout scans an environment, analyzes the space and
then places and animates digital objects in a scene – in real time
and at real-world scale. Users can download their own custom 3D
assets from Box or from the Files app on their iPhone to plan and
block a scene to decide if a location works, figure out the best
angles for coverage, or even build new blocking and animation on
the fly.
The Difference Between ViewScreen Scout & ViewScreen
Scout Pro
ViewScreen Scout is designed for individual users who want to
explore real-time scouting. ViewScreen Scout Pro is a
production-ready scouting app designed for collaboration that works
seamlessly with ViewScreen Studio, our suite of tools designed for
television and film production.
ViewScreen Scout Pro includes shared AR rooms where the entire
crew can collaborate, whether the team is together in the same
location or working remotely across multiple locations. It also has
more advanced features including live markerless motion capture and
motion capture suit integration, the ability to export all VFX data
(OBJs, EXRs, etc.) to accelerate post-production as well as
customized software, support and services that can be tailored for
a specific project.
Compatibility
ViewScreen Scout and ViewScreen Scout Pro run on iOS devices
including any iPhone 13 Pro/Pro Max and higher or any iPad Pro M1
and higher.
Availability & Pricing
ViewScreen Scout is free during the Beta for users in North
America (US and Canada), Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and
South Korea. To request access to the Beta, visit
viewscreen.com/beta.
ViewScreen Scout Pro integrates with ViewScreen Studio and is
available for use on film and TV productions in North America (US
and Canada). Pricing for ViewScreen Studio and ViewScreen Scout Pro
varies based on the requirements and complexity of the
production.
