The First Movie Shot on the iPhone4?

Friday, July 2nd, 2010

A USC cinema graduate student from Sacramento, has shot the first movie on the iPhone4 and has got some buzz with some help from Twitter.  Good Idea.  When the iPad gets a camera, I am shooting the first movie with it.  Probably not, but it will be worth some buzz.

A week after the iPhone4 was released, a USC cinema graduate student from Sacramento is making news online and with Mac World movers and shakers.

Zacuto Releases Consumer Grade Handgrip for Iphone 3Gs

Friday, August 7th, 2009

[vodpod id=ExternalVideo.858110&w=425&h=350&fv=]  

A handgrip that helps you shoot stable video with your Iphone 3Gs.  Novelty or really good idea?  Unfortunately, I bought my Iphone and a month later, it was obsolete, so it will be some time before I know the joy of shooting video with an Iphone, but I vote for good idea.  A good story is a good story whether you shoot it with the world’s most expensive camera or a camera phone. 

The video above is for their “pro” version, Zgrip Iphone Pro.  Their new ”consumer version” has a cheaper price ($69), Zgrip Iphone Jr. has many of the features of the “pro” version, minus some of the adjustability.  If you pre-order before August 15, it is $59.

Face and Speech Recognition Technology and Video Production

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Interesting article from Videomaker on Face Recognition Technology for Video Cameras

And somewhat related, I recently saw a demo of the new Adobe CS4, and Premiere Pro now has speech recognition technology which allows you to search footage by keyword:

Turn spoken dialogue into text-based, timecode-accurate, searchable metadata. Jump to a specific area of a shot by searching for keywords within the dialogue, and then use keywords to quickly locate and display what you’re looking for.

Hey Steve Jobs! Where’s my speech recognition technology for Final Cut Pro???
