“Not only do I frame every shot with Artemis, I use it to record blocking, rehearsals and as part of my process when debating lens and format choices. Artemis has become the premier communication tool.”

“Artemis is the best cinematic tool of modern times. I started using Artemis in 2010 and have loved it ever since. It is so accurate with up to date lenses, cameras and formats. It is always with us on scouts and during shoots. Artemis allows the director and I to share how we see things with each other and with the rest of the crew.”

“Artemis allows multiple people to view the exact angle I want, and I can even record camera moves, with the specific lens I want to use, and share the shot with second unit. It saves us hours a day, and pleases the grips too. It is an industry changing tool.”

“Artemis Pro has become an essential tool for scouting locations and communicating my artistic vision. It allows me to be more efficient in prep, so I can be more creative on set. The Artemis Prime PL viewfinder has taken this a step further, allowing the director and I to collaborate with the storyboard artist in a new way. It's beautifully simple and effective.”

“Artemis is part of my essential kit. I can show up to set with my light meter and my cell phone and be ready to do my job. Whether it's scouting or setting up a shot, it has helped me be more accurate and to communicate better.”

“For a director, being able to record the blocking of action as well as set up the shot, lens etc. with Artemis Pro is very useful. It means I can get a sense of the timing of the shot as well as the framing and move. Especially helpful when filming adverts where every second of action counts. A great tool.”

“All the shots on the Netflix show Sex Education were worked out with Artemis, so massive thanks for creating the most useful piece of technology in our industry since the clapper board.”

“On my last feature, even though we were carrying a conventional director's viewfinder, my team used Artemis Pro. Quicker and ever handy, it allowed us to instantly set up shots and compare varying focal lengths. It is now a permanent part of my kit.”

“Thanks to the almost daily advancements in sensor sizes, conventional optical viewfinders are becoming increasingly obsolete. Artemis Pro functions in every camera format, and gives you so much more than just framing. It's also much easier to make sure you and the director are looking at the same thing. I've done virtual storyboards with it. And best of all, it's always in your pocket.”

“Artemis is a great viewfinder. I use it a lot when scouting. And since it's very accurate you can show a frame to whoever needs to see what the shot will be, or could be, and discuss it.”

“I use Artemis Pro as my on set viewfinder every single day, every single setup. The ability to take accurate shots and communicate them to my director so easily has really sped up the camera blocking process. The new features, such as the virtual wide angle tool, movie recording and virtual stand-ins, really add to an already indispensable tool.”

“I've been using Artemis from the very beginning. I love that it's a shared tool. First between the director and myself. Then once we approve shots, the images from Artemis get shared with the crew.”

“I use Artemis on a daily basis. Both on set where it saves so much time, but also to help plan for a shoot, as accurate photo storyboards have become so useful. I can't imagine filming without it these days. I always have my phone, so I always have a viewfinder.”

“I know my generation is spoiled with all the tools we have to prep, and Artemis is one of them. It's made me a much better DP, helping me think through my framing and communicate my vision effectively.”

“Both Artemis Pro and Helios Pro have become indispensable tools for me. Artemis is the most effective way to find common compositional ground with directors and camera operators, and is especially great for large format cameras like the Alexa 65 and the LF. Helios Pro is invaluable for scouting and scheduling the day to chase the light and capture it. I can't imagine working without these tools.”

“I've used Artemis for seven years, since its inception. From scouting to shooting, it's indispensable to me. From riffing out ideas with directors and crew, to making solid decisions in shot design. For me, it's an essential tool on set.”

“Artemis is an essential tool. I can no longer imagine doing my job without it. I use it in all stages of prep and production. It allows me to play and explore angles and options, design shots and sequences, and then communicate effectively with all departments. The teamsters love knowing exactly where the trucks will be out of frame.”

“I try to scout with as little clutter as possible. But when precision is really important in prep and I need to know the exact focal length, or express what I'm thinking to collaborators, Artemis is my tool of choice.”

“Communication is the most important aspect of any collaboration. Ever since I started using Artemis I can show my clients and team exactly what a shot will look like and get their input. Artemis is a timesaver. On scouts I can shoot storyboard frames with stand-ins and store the lens and camera information for future reference.”

“Artemis Pro is an extremely effective communication tool both for scouting and on set. Having this powerful app on my phone makes it easy to line up a shot and share it with other departments quickly, taking the guesswork out of a wide variety of questions. With its accurate lens choices it gives the director and me a shorthand to our framing and helps keep me organized.”

“I use Artemis on almost every setup. It's hands down the quickest way to accurately convey the shot, so the whole film set can move forward quickly and efficiently. It really is a great tool.”

“There are some things that you get so used to having on set that you literally can't imagine shooting without them. Artemis is undoubtedly in this category.”

“Artemis offers an exacting frame to pre-vis a shot, no matter what camera and lens combo you are using. It's a viewfinder in your pocket that can record not only a desired shot, but save all the lens and angle info needed to quickly access on the spot or at a later date. It's become an invaluable tool that I use on all my projects.”

“I use both Artemis and Helios when scouting and find them both invaluable tools for prep. When shooting, Artemis is incredibly useful and can save a ton of time if used to set the next shot before the actors are cleared from the set. The grips, camera and ADs can see what the frame will be quickly and immediately. It is a wonderful communications tool.”

“I have had the pleasure of using Artemis on five feature films and countless commercials. Artemis is an efficient director's viewfinder with an amazing inventory of cameras, aspect ratios, shooting resolutions and lenses. Even for those who enjoy a traditional director's finder, I recommend Artemis as a guide to the many tools available to cinematographers.”

“Whether scouting or shooting, Artemis is the tool for quickly blocking and agreeing shots with the director. I couldn't be as swift and precise without it. Directors love it too.”

“I have used Artemis over the last few years, especially since shooting Rush with Ron Howard where our backgrounds in 2D and 3D were excruciatingly tough on a film with a meagre budget but enormous ambitions. Artemis was an essential daily requisite, helping me to share and comfort all departments, even across so many different formats.”

“I used the new Artemis Pro director's viewfinder on Umbrella Academy, which was shot on Alexa 65. For the director and myself it's the first piece of kit we go to after blocking out a scene. To accurately set Artemis Pro to whatever format and aspect ratio you want is invaluable for our team to previsualize and communicate what we want to do.”

“Artemis has streamlined my communication with cinematographers, VFX supervisors and other heads of department. Now we all know that we are talking about the exact same frame. What I love most of all is watching my DP bring a scene to life while I'm still rehearsing. They often run around with Artemis grabbing all the frames we've discussed, making it easier to finesse the coverage before we start setting cameras.”

“I've used Artemis for years now. It's the perfect on set tool for DoPs and camera operators. It streamlines the whole blocking and coverage process, creating shot sequences and storyboards in real time, with the real actors, in the real location. A fantastic way to share information and collaborate with your crew.”

“Artemis Pro is an amazing tool for scouting or rehearsing. And now with the ability to record video, it's a game changer. Finally, a way to precisely communicate ideas without dragging a lot of equipment around. It's incredibly accurate and intuitive to use. I can't imagine working without it.”

“Artemis Pro is so well thought out. You can precisely choose the camera package and lenses you have to hand, or will have on the shoot, to obtain exact ideas of shot angles and sizes on the location survey. It's a cinematographer's dream in your pocket. Slick and intuitive, I can imagine using it on every single job from now on.”

“The innovation of the Artemis director's viewfinder, especially now in the digital age, is my most indispensable tool. It helps me find fresh camera angles, plot camera moves and then share these with my DP and camera operators. I cannot work without Artemis and cannot understand how any other director could.”

“Artemis is always in my pocket. No more need for a PA carrying a large case of lenses up a mountain on a scout. It's changed the way we do things.”

“Artemis has made communication between DoP, director, producer and locations during scouts and principal photography more efficient and cost effective. The fact that it is up to date with cameras, lenses, sensor size and resolution options makes it a solid and reliable tool, always in our pockets.”

“Artemis is a crucial tool for me on tech scouts. I have to pin down just how big that matte painting needs to be. Often I need to shoot plates that match up with the principal photography and sometimes have to change cameras to do so. The lens matching part of the app saves my life time and time again.”

“I use Artemis on every job regardless of the genre or budget. The huge range of cameras and lenses on its database make it just as useful a tool whether you're on a drama, commercial, or music video. It's a great way to communicate with the director and other departments.”

“Artemis is the best invention for film people since the espresso machine.”

“I haven't found a more useful tool for location scouting than Artemis. It instantly clarifies to both the director and production designer the parameters of the shot, what the camera will actually see.”

“Artemis makes me feel smarter than I was without it. It's the sharpest tool on my iPhone.”

“I use Artemis daily. It's an invaluable tool both for shooting and prep. I'm lost without it.”

“Artemis is something I've waited a long time for. It helps me plan the shots faster and share them with the director who may be right next to me or on the other side of the world just as easily.”

“I gave up trying to carry around a heavy viewfinder years ago. Artemis is fantastic when scouting because you can make decisions that affect camera, art department and transportation right on the spot. When we're shooting, Artemis quickly gives everyone an accurate idea of what I'm thinking so that they can start to build the shot I want. I love it.”

“I never leave home without Artemis. It is the one app I can guarantee will be used every day on the job.”

“You tell Artemis what camera and what lens you are on, and it shows you what the frame will look like. It's handy when you are scouting. Artemis opens up the conversation between departments and lets me instantly show the director a frame. It couldn't be easier to use.”

“I agree with what every other DP on the planet says about Artemis. They are all correct. Nothing comes close to Artemis for a convenient pocket size viewfinder, even on my iPad mini which fits in my cargo pants pockets.”

“Artemis has been a handy and invaluable tool. I've started using it on my mini iPad to rehearse Steadicam shots, using AirPlay to record the scene on the video assist playback system. We can then review, discuss and make adjustments without having to lug the Steadicam around. My last film was shot on anamorphic lenses, and Artemis proved to be very accurate.”

“Artemis has become such an indispensable tool, it's hard to imagine working without it. The fact that it lives on my phone means that it's never far from hand. Its extensive camera formats and lens information enables me to accurately see and share the exact frame with the director and other collaborators much more easily than a traditional lens finder.”

“Artemis has made my life much easier. Instead of carrying a traditional viewfinder with lenses and a monitor, I can use Artemis for accurate scouts and rehearsals anytime, anywhere. With Artemis, I can set marks during rehearsals and be confident that when I have my Steadicam on, ready to shoot, the frame will be exactly as I planned.”

“Since I discovered Artemis, there is never a day at work that I don't use it. Whether in prep, making storyboards or lining up shots with the director, Artemis is a workhorse tool.”

“I find it a much more precise way of communicating with my director than the optical viewfinder. With the old viewfinder you had no definite understanding that you were both looking at the same framing.”

“I would be lost without Artemis. For scouting it replaced my GPS and DSLR in one fell swoop. The saved images contain all the metadata I need in an easy to use interface, plus it's fully customizable. It is the single most important app on my phone for production.”

“Artemis is an amazing tool I use constantly, for scouting, making storyboards, positioning car mounts, finding camera positions in multi camera setups and being able to find comparative lenses in different camera formats. It's like carrying a huge box of cameras and lenses in your pocket. I can't imagine working without it.”

“My assistant cameraman introduced me to Artemis a couple of years ago. It was shockingly easy and accurate. I have used it on commercials and on feature films ever since, both on the phone and on my iPad. During pre-production and in the thick of shooting. Directors love it.”

“On set, every second counts. That's one of the reasons I've been using Artemis for years now. It's also great in pre-production and scouts, so I can share what I'm thinking with the director and other departments. The Lens Matcher function is invaluable, since so many of my projects these days seem to involve multiple formats. Artemis is my secret weapon.”

“Artemis takes all the guesswork out of planning and makes for very specific conversations with your collaborators. With the GPS coordinates and headings on the images, everyone knows exactly where the camera will be looking. Gone are the days of walking through a forest or desert trying to find that spot you scouted weeks ago. It's a game-changer.”

“Artemis is an essential tool when composing in that tricky world of anamorphic 16:9 extraction. When shooting on Alexa Minis in HD Anamorphic there is no other tool which shows the extraction accurately. There is no comparison to the elegant, pre-cropped, shareable image from the Artemis app.”

“Artemis is a great filmmaking tool I use both scouting and on set. It makes it easy to share exactly what the lens sees with the director and designer. Now I have all my lenses and all my cameras, everywhere I go, right in my pocket.”

“Artemis has been an incredible resource for me in creating storyboards. It provides me with a great point of discussion with my DP. The framing I want is accurately communicated, and I always get the shots I want. I also love using it with Apple TV when presenting shots to clients.”

“As a still photographer using film, I need to be able to previsualize my photographs. Using a Hasselblad H6X camera with a 100mm lens, I can replicate this exact aspect ratio and focal length in the Custom Camera option in the Artemis app. This unparalleled opportunity to previsualize my photographs is a tool Ansel Adams would have loved.”

“I use Artemis all the time. It's invaluable when in conversation with the DP and director. It's elegant and efficient, and you can't ask for more than that.”

“With Artemis I have every lens in my pocket. I love how I can share images with their metadata so easily with other departments. The clarity and precision of the app enhances communication between everyone on set, and ultimately this helps me shoot a better film.”

“Artemis is an invaluable tool for both setup and scouting: accurate, fast and simple. My AFI students find it particularly valuable when learning the fields of view of different lens focal lengths in different camera formats.”

“With Artemis on the iPad, the director can look over my shoulder and see what I'm thinking. A great tool for sharing ideas and inspiration. Load it up on the designer and choreographer's phone, and let the collaboration take off.”

“Artemis is an accurate, compact professional viewfinder that in my opinion can't be beaten. I used it on Ruth and Alex with Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton, where it dramatically shortened the time it took to get our setups. I have used every viewfinder available over the last 40 years but none of them compare to Artemis.”

“I have been using Artemis now for several years and I can safely say it is accurate, fast and reliable. With the old style director's finder only one person could view the shot. With Artemis on the iPad or iPhone, my collaborators can all see what I'm aiming for immediately, saving me valuable setup time.”

“Artemis is an invaluable asset in the production designer's quiver. It allows us to very easily examine and, more importantly, continuously re-examine both sets and locations as they will likely be seen when shooting. It's an extraordinary collaborative tool.”

“When in prep, it's hard to be in the same country with your heads of department, let alone the same state, let alone the same room. Artemis makes it feel like you are.”

“Artemis viewfinder is a great piece of kit. It brings clarity and speed, helps to communicate ideas and share information. I've been using it for three years and it's proved to be a real asset on every project.”

“I have retired my old Mark V director's finder, which is so 20th century. Artemis is definitely a 21st century tool, with the app living on the first screen of my iPad and iPhone. It's perfectly precise, fast to use, and so easy for sharing information and photographs. I can't imagine doing any production without Artemis by my side.”

“After years of holding a traditional finder with lens attached, I was admittedly a little reticent to give up what I perceived as the precision of setting a shot up, so I came to the Artemis game a little late. I am a complete convert now that it resides always in my pocket, always at the ready, with very precise results.”

“Artemis has changed the way I communicate with not only my DPs but heads from all of my other departments as well. It is an indispensable tool that I use in all stages of production and I can't wait to see how it continues to evolve.”

“I use Artemis every day on set shooting stop frame animation. Being able to plan ahead with the director allows me more creative choices. The Custom Camera setting enables me to match Artemis to the specific camera sensor area we will be using, and preview framing in the miniature environments we use in stop motion before we pull apart sets or build elaborate rigs.”

“I have yet to see a traditional director's viewfinder as accurate as Artemis. DPs can see where to put up lights, art department know where to dress, the location manager knows where to position the unit, and the AD knows where to place the artists. Everyone is forewarned and production saves the cost of a box of lenses and a lens finder.”

“The Artemis iPro Kit is a serious tool that has improved on a concept that's been around since directors of photography figured out how to use their hands to frame a shot. We finally have a tool to previsualize shots and scenes that does everything I've been looking for. We can frame up shots, record them, and share them with the director and the whole crew. And all you have to do is carry an iPhone in your pocket.”

“I'm a producer of wildlife programmes for the BBC and have just arrived back from Borneo where I've been using Artemis for the first time to help us film flying snakes. It's been a revelation.”

“I have Artemis and the iPro super wide angle lens on my iPad mini, and as we rehearse prior to shooting The Great Wall, I am using it to put real frames and lens choices to the director's shot list. Love it.”

“What a brilliant idea. Combine two necessities in one component? Less is very much more. Thank you Chemical Wedding for Artemis and also for Helios, which is amazingly useful in setting out sets. You have made my life both lighter and easier.”

“Using Artemis on scouts is just normal for me now. I can share exact frames or illustrate fresh ideas for scenes with directors, designers and key crew members. It's become the oil in my cinematography machine.”

“Artemis Prime was an invaluable tool for us on Rampage. On the creative side, it gave the director and me the ability to look back at framing options and discuss them together objectively. And on the technical side, once we had finalized the design of a shot, the dissemination of information to the relevant crew members was simple and precise.”

“Artemis is an essential tool when scouting locations, allowing information to pass from the director and DP to the crew. The new Artemis Prime is an amazing progression of the app. We used the XL version for Alexa 65 to scout Mulan in China. It allowed us to capture the unique characteristics of our proposed lenses and create exact frames for storyboarding.”

“Artemis Prime is the future of filmmaking. It's hard to imagine ever lensing up a shot again without it. The ease of setting up a shot with the exact anamorphic lens you are using is, quite simply, genius.”

“Artemis Prime is a game changer. It gave me the accurate full sensor framing I needed while shooting with the Sony Venice, taking all the guessing out of crop factor. On my location scouts I could record not only the framing but the camera moves and play them back for all the department heads. A super accurate way to preview depth of field, since you are framing up with your actual lenses at the stop you want to shoot.”

“Artemis Prime allows me to set up a shot with the actual lens, with everyone seeing the framing at the same time. We can record a rehearsal and play it back for reference, which is incredibly useful when setting up elaborate moving camera shots.”

“Artemis Prime made it possible for us to view and adjust multiple, custom frame lines on the show Dummy. We shot Sony Venice full frame, but were framing for 16:9 and 9:16 all within a 1:1 square. Artemis Prime let me communicate these unique frames to everybody who needed to understand them. It is a flexible, invaluable and creative tool.”

“Artemis Prime allows the cinematographer to truly collaborate with the director and crew, both when shooting and scouting. It truly helps sell the shot to collaborators, especially those who find it hard to visualize and really need to see the frame. With my work on Sons of the Neon Night in China, I let Artemis Prime tell the story I imagine when my basic Mandarin does not.”

“I used Artemis Prime during scouting for Ophelia with a full set of Hawk anamorphic lenses. This allowed us to be very specific with planning our shot construction and coverage, which meant we could work faster and focus more creative energy on set into other things.”

“I used Artemis Prime on my show Gotham, when in one episode the director wanted to shoot the entire teaser as a oner, all executed as one shot without any edits. Artemis is no longer a DP's secret weapon, but a solid tool in the modern day motion picture industry as a whole.”

“Artemis Prime was an invaluable tool in helping us block, choreograph and rehearse some of our single take scenes on Collateral, which were sometimes 8 minutes long. I don't know how else we could have done it without wearing out our Steadicam operator.”

“Helios Pro and Artemis Pro have become indispensable tools in my work. It's not just that they have replaced traditional tools such as the analogue inclinometer, it's more that they provide a higher level of communication. Directors, operators, production designers and assistant directors all love having screenshots with metadata from my iPhone. With today's budgets and schedules this level of information accuracy is invaluable.”

“I didn't think Helios could get any better, but Helios Pro just blows you away. To have the ability to overlay 3D models of people, buildings or vehicles to see just how the light falls on them throughout the day is incredible. I highly recommend Helios Pro alongside Artemis Pro. These are my go-to apps for scouts.”
