"AMAZING! sunPATH is easy to use, clear, concise, quick, well designed...it blows everything I've seen clean out of the water Who needs more expensive gadgets to weigh you down on the set? I put my sunPATH printout in my notebook and I'm good for the entire shoot. The fact that the magnetic declination is already accounted for makes life a lot easier."
- Larry Fong, Director of Photography USA (Macintosh)
"user friendly, no nonsense"
- Paul Booth, Gaffer AUSTRALIA (Windows)
"sunPATH ended a five year quest I've had to find a great sun positioning program. Yours is the fourth program I've owned. It is by far the best program for tracking the sun. Every aspect of it is extremely well thought out and easy to use by my assistants who usually have no experience with such programs."
- John Madere, Photographer USA (Macintosh)
"The Program is terrific. Since I got it I've solved so many problems related to sun position and scheduling that I can't understand how I got along without it. Production companies and clients are always impressed with the information and the presentation."
- Steven Poster ASC, Director of Photography USA (Macintosh)
"...I'm switching to SunPATH today! The PC version was very easy to use, location data was incredibly comprehensive and the reports are second to none."
- Rob Hull, Photographer USA (Windows)
"What a great tool for a Cinematographer working around the world. My GPS is in the trash can already."
- Nino Martinetti ACS, Cinematographer AUSTRALIA (Macintosh)
ÒHaving first been introduced to sunPATH on location in Almeria Spain by a Spanish A.D., I was my usual sceptical self. It's ability to accurately predict the suns position however proved an invaluable aide on the recce, as we had to prepare a very rigid shooting schedule without the luxury of scouting locations at the correct times of day (whats new). sunPath enabled us to achieve all of our objectives over two very busy days. I have awaited the PC version of sunPATH eagerly, feeling disadvantaged when travelling without it. A 'must have' for every serious photographer.Ó
- Tony Brown, Director of Photography UK (Windows)
"I have been using sunPATH for about a week and its great! Finally someone has written a great sun position program for the Mac that is useful to cinematographers! The extensive worldwide city database is impressive. Thanks again for a -very- useful piece of software."
- Bill Bennett, Director/Cinematographer USA (Macintosh)
ÒI love the program and your database of locations is very extensive. It is very easy to operate.Ó
- Nathan Wilson, Director of Photography USA (Windows)
"I'm writing to offer you yet another glowing appraisal of your database and simple-to-use system. I recently gaffed a feature film in Costa Rica and was elated over how accurately I was able plot the sun. The First Assistant Director, the Director of Photography and I sat down and really managed to put together a shooting schedule that fit a low budget film snugly and securely. We even based call times on SunPath computations as we were often in locations with high mountain and forest profiles."
- Peter Walts, Gaffer USA (Macintosh)
ÒIt was a pleasure finding a program that was easy for a "computer illiterate" person such as myself, to use. It was simple to operate, with very accurate results.Ó
- Rick Tucker, Key Grip USA (Windows)
"I've got to tell you, you have revolutionized our business."
- Mark Vuille -Gaffer USA (Macintosh)
ÒThanks again for bringing sunPATH out in a Windows usable form. For any person in the Film or Still business who needs to plan with the sun in mind, this is an inexpensive and indispensable program. It gives the necessary information in an easy to use format. Its worth every penny.Ó
- John Harvey USA (Windows)
"Got the software today, loaded it up and was printing reports in just over five minutes. The question now is, "Why didn't I get this sooner?" It is fantastic ... and it's easy to use."
- Robin Lawless, SOC, Cinematographer CANADA (Macintosh)
ÒThe software was up and running quickly, and I particularly like the fact that I could build my own location using specific coordinates. It all is very straightforward and easy to use. Frankly, I don't know how I ever did location photography without this! It is a Godsend! It eliminates extra trips to see the light at the specific times; we scouted three locations one afternoon, and that was all it took; we did the three shots based upon our initial scouting, and things were just as we had predicted.Ó
- Michael Hart, Photographer USA (Windows)
"Just thought I'd drop you a note to say how great your Sunpath software is. We use in on every location job we have. I purchased the software about 6 months ago and it has been one of the best investments the company has made. It has made our job so much simpler and allowed us to plan with more detail. I would recommend it to anyone working in the film or photographic trade. I think it is as important as owning a light meter."
- Greg Choat, Producer NEW ZEALAND (Macintosh)
ÒWhile shooting a commercial in downtown Boston, I used a beta PC version of sunPATH to calculate where and when the early morning shafts of sunlight would come between the buildings. It helped me get some rather striking shots. It truly is a good resource.Ó
- Robert Leacock, Photographer USA (Windows)
"The Program is great. I went on a scout over the weekend with our 1st AD and Director and basically scheduled the majority of this week around my predictions with Sunpath......today went like a dream...the sun was exactly where it was supposed to be and when it was due to be there" "The last Producer I worked with called me MERLIN because I was so accurate predicting where the sun would be and when."
- Rob Draper ASC, Director of Photography USA (Macintosh)
ÒAll in all an A+ for the sunPATH.Ó
- Ninrath Athakravi, Director of Photography THAILAND (Windows)
"We've been using your software for 4 years and am ever so happy and thankful. ... (sunPATH can) tell us what would be the best time for us to shoot even if we're on the other side of the country."
- N. Timmons, Photographer USA (Macintosh)
"I just received it about an hour ago and find it to be very well laid out and extremely easy to use. Haven't even cracked the manual yet. Great work, thanks!"
- Glen MacPherson, Cinematographer USA (Windows)
" I've been using "SUNDIAL" for about five years and I'm on my third Trimble GPS. I think the (sunPATH) program & reports are GREAT." "I keep blowing my clients away with the printout from your program & I believe its starting to be a regular enclosure in our production books down here in FLA."
- Ed McNamara, Producer USA (Macintosh & Windows)
"Thanks for an invaluable tool. I know you've probably heard it a million times, even read it in American Cinematographer, but Sunpath is incredible. And so easy to install! Again, thank you."
- Mark Castelaz, Gaffer USA (Windows)
"I have used this software north and south of the equator, all around the globe and its rewarded me with great success. I've recommended it to everyone I can. Thanks again, it's brilliant."
- Jack Donnelly, Director of Photography USA (Macintosh)
"This software is the most important tool I carry. It just blows D.o.P'S away who have never seen it before."
- Gary Varney, Gaffer UK (Windows)
"Your program is great. A good addition to my Trimble. Could have used it in Morocco. Now off to shoot Reebok on the Great Wall of China." "Just returned from the Great Wall I like the fact that I can print it out (sunPATH report). The director and I camped out on the great wall north of Beijing 150 miles and HE was very impressed."
- Peter Collister, Director of Photography USA (Macintosh & Windows)
"I have built sets in New Zealand from my base in Toronto giving coordinates in May and shooting in August and was very pleased with my window placement for sunlight. I also worked in Almeria, Spain all of last year and was also very pleased with the accuracy of sunPath. I have also used it in South Africa, Mauritius and of course in Canada."
- Alwyn J Kumst CSC, Cinematographer CANADA (Windows)
"I was recently on a job in Bermuda for two weeks. We were all over the Island on a very tight schedule. I was able to map out optimal light conditions for each location with shadow positions gauged to the minute. I compared information to the director's Trimble Scoutmaster several times. It was the same. The program is more immediately accessible, more informative and understandable than GPS systems."
- Doug Armstrong, Director of Photography USA (Macintosh)
"I want to say that your program works very, very good. I am a DOP and make advertising and dokumentaries all over the world. Your tool is beneath the exposure meter the most important equipment I use. Thank you for your brilliant idea."
- Hannes Drapal AAC, Cinematographer/Producer AUSTRIA (Windows)
"I love the program Truly a creative piece of coding." You do not "need an expensive GPS to do what a comprehensive database will do."
- Bruce Johnson, Director of Photography USA (Macintosh)
"Eight months into my "computer life", the PC version of sunPATH is the most useful and most-used software I own. The library of locations (ie. Kiln, MS: I'm shooting a job there Fri.) is incredible. Thank you, thank you, thank you."
- Chris McGuire, Gaffer USA (Windows)
"I am still in awe of your expertise in assembling a very complex program with a very simple interface."
- Bruce Olinder, Gaffer USA (Macintosh)
