Pros and cons of Storyboard Composer app for iPhone and iPad
Storyboard Composer app good for
In my point of view, one of the most interesting app I dowloaded on the store.
The single most useful app for any filmmaker for the iPhone. No application on the desktop comes close and I would have gladly paid $300 bucks for this. Its made my companys storyboard creation workflow about 50x faster than before, the ability to watch an animated movie of your storyboard is mindblowing and the app creates beautiful PDF files that look gorgeous printed and on screen. This app might just about revolutionize storyboard creation!
Feature requests: Export of animated storyboard to Quicktime, desktop companion software to edit storyboard and brand with own company logo, pdf upload to own server or mobile me, storyboard version support
Big value for money, nothing to complain about. Since pdf handling with iPhone could be critical you did well offering handling through your server!

This is an amazing app for filmmakers. It is the storyboard app that Ive been dreaming of for many years. Now I will be able to prep for shooting from any where. This is very usefull. Thanks
After having heard @alba tweet about this app it was almost guaranteed ID buy it impulse or not. The 19.99$ pricetag *did* make me pause for a second to ponder what exactly I would get out of such a pricey app, but its all there... Pan, Track,Tilt you can pretty much do all youd expect in a desktop storyboarding app and more... Only complaints are the lack of 3Gs video recording and no way to export without using their server. If I could save a camera mov as a QuickTime to my cmera roll and then mms or email the file directly this app would have gotten it right on the first try!
Like everyone, I have dreams of making a movie. And lots of excuses why it hasnt happened yet. But after getting Hitchcock I feel a huge step closer to my directing dream. I took a couple photos in my kitchen and 5 minutes later had a little video complete with cast members (thanks to the human silhouettes in the app), and I show it to everyone because Im so amazed at this app. Its a tool that helps put my thoughts into a vision. Its a toy that is fun and easy to use. Its my new favorite.
Some bad moments
I dont believed that I paid 20 dollars for that amateur program. This should be more than 2 dollars. I dont know how all those people gave 5 stars.
i loved this app until i updated the software on my iphone. now the app crashes ALL THE TIME!!! PLEASE FIX. do yourself a favour - dont purchase until this is fixed.
It crashes after the update!!!!!!!!
The developer promised an update 2 months ago and still nothing is happening... Please improve "edit content" for the slides. It is very inconvenient to edit text if you want to include more than a sentence...right now you are limited to 4 words or so
No, iTunes does NOT remember that youve purchased this app before. I will change my rating when you fix this rather costly glitch.
The PDF export would work. It says when I try to email the link no Internet connection. Is just weird that I exported the QuickTime movie successfully iver the same Internet connection.
Then tried to send it a an attachment and after I hit the send button the app crashes. Now I cant provide my clients with PDFs.
$20 and its a crappy iphone app! Not optimized for ipad as claimed! Not only that, you have to use pics instead of drawing, or a virtual set. So you have to go to the set and photo EVERYTHING you need from the exact angle you need it or youre stuck. The video on the site made it seem like you could use virtual stand-ins, but you cant unless you already have photos. For $20 this is a complete RIP OFF! STAY AWAY!!!!
