I've added a great new tool to my arsenal... A StickyPod Director Kit.
This kit is great for any type of vehicle based shooting. It will hold cameras as large as the Sony F900 and can hold on to a vehicle at incredible speeds. So far I've only tested it with a FlipHD and a Canon EOS 7D. Hit the jump to learn more about this rig, and to see more pics.
I've read a lot about this lately, but for those of you that haven't: It's closer than you think. There have been multiple magazines that have expiremented with video inserts and advertising. They have all been special edition releases to a select set of readers. However, if when this takes off and becomes affordable, it's going to give a new delivery medium to videographers...
It doesn't stop there though:
As this technology evolves, it can be joined with touch technology which would allow for interactive video + user response enabled media. For those of you that are developing true multimedia content like this, just imagine the possibilities...
Final thought...
Imagine you're walking into a church for a wedding, you are handed a program, in that program is a video page w/ a video of the bride and groom thanking you for attending. -just one of a million uses...
Ever wish you could Shoot, Edit, and Share all in one app on your iPhone? I have. And now, thanks to Chase Jarvis and Ubermind, it's here. BestCamera not only enables the iPhone to shoot and apply various filters to images, but also to share the images directly to facebook, twitter, and the new Best Camera Website, BestC.am. Watch chase explain the app and then buy it! It's well worth 3 duckets. See my BestCamera Pics here.
Last night while trying to have a meeting w/ Kevin for Grön Concepts, I dropped my iPhone. It was about a 3 foot drop from my hands to the blacktop and when it landed (directly on the screen), it sounded bad....
Sure enough it shattered.
For those of you wondering about iPhone abuse and the replacement there-of, Apple has a flat fee for fixing these phones. I have an 8Gb 3G model and it will be $199 to fix (no matter what's wrong w/ it). On the other hand, replacing a phone will cost you double what you paid for it. The price on Apples website is just for new contracts! Having sold phones for several years, I understand this policy and expected as much... I am actually pretty happy about only having to pay $199 to get it fixed.
