THE tool for people wishing to create good screens is an artist's eye and some creativity.
Off course, Hype, the best more sophisticated tool is useless in the hand of someone who has not a previous idea what to do with it...
But the greatest inspiration need a tool to communicate the result to the others. Could be F1 View or ... A Steinway, paintbrush and canvas or... an aircraft : Most of the pilots you can see in airshows are true artists

On our case let's keep simple and realistic. Our creativity and artist's eye get a STRONG support from the creativity and know how of load off people like aircraft conceptors and builders, software engeeners, individuals making the models and give us the result often for free...
The developpers of F1 View and Active Cam are ammong them.
My preference goes today for F1 because it give me a very simple way to do what I want. But I admit that Active Cam is more powerfull in the hand of someone who make the effort to learn it (and off course has an image in mind...)
