A director’s viewfinder is a compact yet powerful tool that helps filmmakers plan their shots before the camera rolls. Whether it’s the classic optical kind, a lens finder using actual lenses, or a digital app like Artemis Pro, the purpose remains the same: to preview framing, composition, and lens choices on the go.
By letting directors and DPs pre-visualize scenes, block actors, and test angles, viewfinders streamline production and enhance creative control—without moving heavy camera setups. A simple tool that can make a big difference.
