[Frameworks] Seattle area only--a director's viewfinder?

[John Woods]

Well there are certainly advantages/disadvantage between using that app over a traditional viewfinder. I've not used the app myself so I can't speak to the critics but it is being used by some professionals that don't want to fiddle with a viewfinder.

The other affordable option is to buy one of those mini-viewfinders that are on ebay for $150. NW Film Forum might be worth approaching to see if they or a member has one to rent.

If you think you're going to use the app or viewfinder more than once then it'd be worth paying for. The phone one might be the best value, since you could pull out your phone anywhere you go if you see a location you like or an interesting viewpoint. 

John

Thanks, John.  I did see the app, and wondered whether anyone would recommend it (the online reviews were mixed).  Although I do not have a smart phone, several people on the crew do, so perhaps this would be the best solution.

There is a good one that is available on smartphones, I think its called Artisan Directors Viewfinder and was about $30. You can program different formats and is getting popular amongst some professional filmmakers. Might be cheaper/easier than renting something.
