iPhone 4 HD - Shooting Revolution

Filed Under Featured Posts | posted by Ricardo Fonseca | 12/07/2010 15:48
DSLRs brought a small revolution to filmmaking in bringing great HD video shooting capabilities for very reasonable prices to anyone wanting to make videos.

Now, a new "toy" in the hands of millions of people could make it go further: the iPhone 4.

Capable of shooting HD video (720p) and also of editing it in the device, there are already people out there using it in very creative ways.

One of the best examples and also one of the most shared videos this past week is a short by Michael Koerbel.



Just look at the picture quality, the dolly shots... amazing!

It had 486.000 views in one week, and got everyone talking about it.

But it's not the only this one that is making the rounds. Gizmodo had a post out today with several music videos also shot with the iPhone 4 (and both claiming to be the world's first).

This one, by band "flakjakt" also looks amazing.



Anothe one noteworthy and also claming to the be the world's first music video shot on an iPhone 4 is by The Anix.



Granted an iPhone 4 is not exactly what you'd call cheap and there are much more inexpensive HD capable cameras out there, but it's probably smaller and more ubiquitous than most gadgest, and it sold 1.7 million units in a few days, imagine if even a small percentage of those people would unleash some creativity!

It's certainly one more tool that people can use to make great videos. Can't wait to see more of these. Do you know any other? If so, let us know.
