Skopos: Cine Scout

Skopos is a cinema location scouting tool built for filmmakers: the cinematographer pre-visualizing coverage, the director checking sightlines, the AD planning a day's light, and the producer who needs to know what time the sun hits the east wall.

Point your camera at a location and preview it through the field of view of any cinema lens. Track the sun's arc across the sky in real-time AR. Pull live weather. Build a scout report as you walk, and export the whole package as a print-ready PDF for your DP, your director, or your production company.

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 and spot meter. A reference library of hundreds of camera bodies and cinema lenses, from Super 8 to IMAX.

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.

LOCATIONS, PROJECTS, SHOT LISTS Organize scouts by project. Attach photos and videos to locations. Build shot lists with scene grouping. Geotag everything. Pull weather, drive times, and nearby emergency facilities for each location. Film commission and permit contacts for your location (161 offices across 20 countries), plus the local emergency dispatch number wherever you're scouting.

PDF SCOUT REPORTS Professional layout suitable for production books. Photo galleries 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.

ICLOUD Your locations, projects, photos, and exports save to your iCloud Drive. No third-party servers. No accounts to create.

PRIVACY Skopos has no analytics, no ads, no tracking, and no account system. Your scouts stay on your device and in your iCloud Drive.
