A Short Movie Shot And Edited On An iPhone 4…

Share

While I gave you a quick look last Friday at the quality of video produced by the iPhone 4, that was done without any attention to lighting and with the iPhone propped-up against a monitor. The movie I’ve embedded here, while also shot using the iPhone 4, was produced professionally, and leveraged an array of techniques and equipment to produce a clean stable image.

This short movie is called “Apple of My Eye” – an iPhone 4 film from Michael Koerbel. At the end of the movie, a small ‘making of’ segment is included that shows exactly how the various shots were composed, blocked, and shot.

Over all, this is an interesting look at how short films are made, and the best example to date of the true quality of the video that can be produced on the iPhone 4.

Not only that, but it was edited entirely on iMovie for iPhone. Without any of the post production tools offered with Final Cut or Avid, I consider this an impressive feat on it’s own.

Enjoy.

A Quick Look: The iPhone 4's Video Camera Quality…

As I mentioned earlier, one of the features of the new iPhone 4 that I’ve been looking forward to using is the built-in 720p HD video camera. Here is a short video I recorded on the iPhone 4 that I hope will give you a feel for the image quality you can get with it:

This video was recorded with just the ambient light in the studio, and was compressed into h.264 and uploaded on to YouTube.

I would love your feed back.

I received the following email from Apple Store early this morning:

Now that’s the kind of email I like to get. :-)

My iPhone 4 Is On It's Way…

After repeated attempts throughout the day last Tuesday, I finally lucked out around 6:30PM and was able to squeeze in an order for the new iPhone 4. The reward for that bit of luck was the email I received this morning telling me that my order has now shipped.

There’s a lot to like in this new generation of the iPhone, but I’m most excited about the sharper display (any help I can get for my fading eyesight) and the new HD video capabilities.

I’ll let you know what I think as soon as it arrives.
