AppTV, By Kyle Pearce: Making a short documentary film has never been easier thanks to recent advances in smartphone technology. With the iPhone 4 you have a full HD video camera that fits in your pocket, greatly simplifying the process of recording, editing and publishing a film. While I filmed this on my iPhone 4, you could easily make a similar video on other smartphones with HD video capabilities. filmed this short documentary on a roadtrip with friends from Vancouver to Whistler. I wanted to show how easy it is to film on the iPhone, without the burden of setting up a tripod and operating bulky camera equipment. I like convenience and the portability of the iPhone, which allowed me to film some awesome footage without cutting into my time spent skiing, relaxing and enjoying the
beautiful scenery. How I Filmed This Documentary "Sea To Sky" on my iPhone: This is how easy it is film a short documentary on your iPhone: 1 To film the different scenes, I mainly used the regular video camera recording on the iPhone. 2 For the skiing sequences, I used the app Steady Lens. As you can see in the first skiing segment on Whistler's Peak, the footage is very choppy, this is because as soon as I tried saving the second video in Steady Lens, the app crashed so I had to use my original footage without image stabilization. 3. For the segment on the Peak To Peak Gondola, I took a risk and used Steady Lens again and this time there was no problem saving the video. I also used it for the short skiing scene on Blackcomb with no problems. 4. Since the iPhone video camera doesn't let you zoom in, I used the app Video Zoom 2 for the video of Black Tusk from the Whistler valley. 5. I did all the editing right on the iPhone with the app iMovie. Making edits was easy with iMovie and it was no problem inserting music from my iPod collection. The one feature I found missing in iMovie was the ability to speed up or slow down a segment. I did some searching on the App Store and found the appSplice which allows you to do this. I tried doubling the speed of skiing footage but when I tried to save the videos, the app crashed each time. So, instead I just edited the videos in iMovie which worked flawlessly. 6.Uploading the video to Youtube was as easy using the built-in Youtube uploader in iMovie. So there you have it, filming a short documentary on your iPhone is easy Source: AppTV
