Hitchcock

Posted by Jason on August 15th, 2009


Hitchcock [iTunes, $19.99] is an iPhone app for creating storyboards.

What’s most interesting to me about Hitchcock is how it’s meant to be used. I can’t think of any other iPhone app whose purpose is to get serious work done. It’s not something you use to jot down a few notes or use to browse incoming information. It’s a workstation, and it requires thought, planning and — most importantly — time to use effectively. That’s not something you see too much of on the iPhone.

Cinemek have put together a fifteen minute demonstration of Hitchcock’s functions. It’s clear that this was designed as a software solution, not just part of one. I believe that’s a major shift in intent for iPhone application programming — especially for the currently anemic filmmaking market.
