IPHONE APP FOR FILMMAKERS: HELIOS SUN CALCULATOR

One of several views available with Helios

Chemical Wedding, the same company that offers the Artemis digital director's viewfinder, also offers Helios, another useful Iphone/Itouch app for filmmakers. Helios "graphically predicts the path of the sun from dusk to dawn, on any given day, in any given place."

For filmmakers and photographers who work in natural light (as opposed to artificial lighting), this can be a great pre-production tool. Knowing where the sun will be at any given time of day can make the difference between a dimly lit (or backlit) shot and a good, professional image. Additionally, you can email the information, so that you have a hard copy of the results for your planning needs.

Helios is also just $29.99 in the Iphone App Store, and has an average of 4.5 stars out of 5, although there are only five votes so far.
