Skopos: Cine Scout

Skopos is a director's viewfinder and location scouting tool that gives filmmakers the fastest way to find their shot, anywhere and anytime. Choose from hundreds of cameras and lenses to simulate the view of any kit. Track the sun's arc across the sky with real-time AR. Preview true depth of field -- spherical or anamorphic -- and grade your scout photos with film looks, all on-device. Build a scout report as you walk a location, and export the whole package as a print-ready PDF for your collaborators. CINEMA VIEWFINDER Simulate the full range of focal lengths your iPhone's lenses can cover. Aspect ratio mattes for scope, widescreen, and broadcast formats, plus an optional second "protect" matte for framing two deliverables at once. Roll/tilt level gauge and framing guides. Depth-of-field calculator, spot meter, and white balance meter with grey-card read and Kelvin presets. Shoot verticals? Skopos has you covered for any camera orientation. DEPTH OF FIELD & LOOKS Preview true depth of field through real glass: on-device depth estimation and thin-lens optics turn a T-stop and a focus tap into physically accurate falloff -- oval anamorphic bokeh included -- with focus distance, depth of field, and hyperfocal readouts. Then grade every capture: six built-in film looks with grain and halation, white balance, full tonal color controls, as well as your own imported .cube LUTs. Grades follow your photos into reports and play back on your videos, including Apple Log footage. SUN TRACKER 3D AR sun overlay locked to your camera's heading and tilt. Sunrise, sunset, and golden/blue hour times. Hour-by-hour sun position projections for any future date. Solar calculations based on NOAA models. Recorded sun paths draw live over your location videos. LOCATIONS, PROJECTS, SHOT LISTS Organize scouts by project. Attach photos and videos to locations, or import them from your Photos library. Build shot lists with scene grouping. Geotag everything. Sort captures by shoot order, filing order, last edit, or distance from where you stand. Pull weather, drive times, and nearby emergency facilities for each location. Film commission and permit contacts for your location (349 offices in 144 countries), plus the local emergency number in 173 countries. PDF SCOUT REPORTS Professional layout suitable for production books. Large graded photos with sun-arc overlays, sun studies, location overviews, contacts, film commission and permit info, and POI lookup. Print-ready output. Share through the standard iOS share sheet.
