Glenoaks Historic Bridge

Built in 1936 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Everything looks cool at magic hour.

(Tech notes: Still have not found a way to successfully post to the blog entirely from the iPhone 4. The video is uploaded to Youtube from the phone, but when I go to Youtube (via Safari, not the Youtube App) and email the embed link to Blogger, it HTML-izes all the code marks and makes it useless - the embed code gets garbled. So I still have to get to a computer to re-paste the clean embed link.... any ideas would be welcome)

Ninja At Dusk

Just seeing how the iphone handles low light... My faithful stand-in is always ready to be my test subject. Still messing with the 'titles' in iMovie mobile, which is very limited.

iMovie mobile will change the face of the Earth

(just a note about this first piece: shot this in less than 3 minutes, slapped it together in imovie and uploaded it from the iPhone4 to see what kind of quality it would yield. Obviously, there is a huge amount of compression taking place when the phone sends it to Youtube. That's a bummer. Also, I have concluded that the '720' characteristic of this video is not actual. I believe that the video is captured as 480p (720x405) and then just blown up to 720p. When I opened the video in QT player, it looks great in 480 (720x405) but is pretty compressed and lossy in 720p. Either way, the video I can extract from the phone via iPhoto is much better than what the phone sends to Youtube, so I will be working on a slicker way to get a better quality video hosted to the blog ASAP.)

But I digress:
The ability to actually shoot edit and upload all from a 2x4 inch computer that fits in my pocket, running Apple's system and software - this is just about the coolest thing ever. Who's taking bets on when the first feature film entirely produced on an iPhone will be announced? I say before the end of the year...
