We are all used to the term "autofocus" when we think of photography. But for professional needs of the videomakers/filmmakers and the grade level of the tech used it does not do the job. Razorfocus is the first human-driven, yet fully automated follow-focus system. Use it to create powerful artistic videos with undisputed focus quality. Adopted by professional cinematographers in TV and Cinema industry, Razorfocus saves the time and effort needed to constantly measure distance to objects on the set. Razorfocus can be integrated to any type of professional camera and is much easier to operate than the manual follow focus systems. You lock and track target by simply clicking the object you need to be on focus. Razorfocus will smoothly change industry standard held for 120 years. angel.co/razorfocus...

The Razorfocus team is working on a product that has the potential to disrupt multibillion dollar business. The guys are dedicated, have technical know how, get the movie and tv business and are willing to change it for good. Not only I would recommend them, but I would also help them with everything I can.

As TV operator /cinematographer/ and also video editor and director I often look for various options to speed up the entire process, any effectivization is welcomed, especially in early stage of filming. I have worked successfully with applicant’s company SMARTBOMB and I am keen on seeing their idea through, as I will be glad to test and use the proposed product. In my opinion it shall lower the time of filming at minimum with 20% saved time and financial resources and the product will gain both market strength and the interest of our professional community. Good luck.

I was asked to input my comments on the idea of Razor Focus. It is amazing how much can be done with a simple solution- that will for sure save tons of work and money to any moviemaking team.

I am acquainted with SMARTBOMB team – Nikola and Nikolay. They could make an impactful and positive addition to any establishment, dependable, detail-oriented and also fearless adventurers who would thrive in the fast-paced environment of business. For me as an investment counselor, the idea of Razorfocus opens possibilities for growth and sales that hold my interest for future incorporations.

The idea is brilliant, might have big impact in a billion dollars industry and most importantly the team can deliver (they already proved themselves with their producing company). I highly recommend as well as fully support them.

Razorfocus is a very good idea and can revolutionize the way we make movies and the way we operate technical equipment using advanced software features.
