PRINCIPLE / 01
The ten seconds before the take.
Most camera apps want to be the camera. Artovan doesn't. The camera is good enough. What's missing on set is the moment before the take — watching what the shot is meant to be, slating it, getting on with it. Artovan exists for that ten seconds. Everything else flows from getting that part right.
FEATURES / SIX SURFACES
Built for the operator who names take folders by hand.
One-handed. Watch-first. Honest about state. The whole thing fits in the ten seconds between cuts.
FEATURE_02
One-tap take capture.
Hit record, hit stop. The file is named correctly and on its way to Drive.

SEQUENCE · HOW A SESSION GOES
Six frames. One take.
From the moment you pick the shot to the moment the file lands in Drive — the whole loop, no detours.
FRAME01 / 06
Pick a shot.
The filmstrip remembers where you left off. The next shot is already highlighted in gold.
FRAME02 / 06
Watch the reference.
The pre-vis clip auto-plays full-frame. You see the shot before you shoot it.
FRAME03 / 06
Hit record.
Slate, timer, minimum-duration hint. One-handed. The slate is the same one your AD would draw.
FRAME04 / 06
Review on the spot.
The take loops back instantly. Tap to dismiss, tap the star to mark best. Move on.
FRAME05 / 06
Drive picks it up.
Resumable upload. Even if you open YouTube halfway through — it continues where it stopped.
FRAME06 / 06
Library remembers.
Every take across every shot, sorted by recency. Tap to replay. Nothing is lost in the cloud.

QUESTIONS / 06
Short answers.
I shoot Android. The hardware lineup matters less than the OS-level access — CameraX gives the precise control I want over the recording pipeline. iOS is Phase 2.
No. Recordings transit your phone → your Google Drive. Nothing about your project lives on my infrastructure. The privacy policy says it plainly.
No. The "AI reference" is a pre-rendered clip generated before the shoot in the planning tool. On set, Artovan only plays it. Recording is conventional camera capture.
Yes — anything Android 12+ with a working camera and microphone. Tested daily on Pixel 7 and Pixel 8.
Yes. Your recordings and sidecars are already in your Drive. The story-structure JSON is editable. Take it elsewhere any time.
Phase 2. Building one platform well first.
