Also, yesterday the homie Seitu showed me a pretty cool app for Filmmakers.  Movie Slate. A handy feature is that you can use it to import Final Cut XML.

Movie Slate is a digital slate, clapper board, shot log, and shot notepad— designed for use with film, television, documentaries, interviews, and home movies.

He calls himself a hip hop Charlie Rose, host 180 interviews Sacramento singers and rappers.  He’s got it down, and like he says, “It needs to be done.”

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.

For the price, they seem like a steal.  I am curious to see if anybody else tried them out, and how they are working for you.
