filmmaker interface

Get your scene pacing on the spot. The magic is in the moment. Once you go Gonzo you'll never want to roll back.

-~*~-

Never film another take just in case. See it mise-in-scene in-camera or on a big screen connected to Gonzo Pi. Confirm it and move on. You can insert shots, move them around, copy them and so on.
