02. Iphone video recording

IPHONE

If necessary, you can now record and upload video clips,or just sequences, with your Iphone, when you have one...

FAQ :

Will AFP provide Iphones for Everyone ?

Not to my knowledge. Decision has been taken a year ago to provide BlackBerrys.

Is Iphone's image quality good enough ?

The iphone video quality is good, but it is not a Lumix or Nikon substitute.

What kind of subject can I record with an Iphone ?

Unpredictable or very urgent subjects.

if you work on a real webclip subject, usual recording rules do not change.

I Have an Iphone 4, not a 4s, can I use it ?

Yes. Both 720 and 1080 are appropriates.

How will I edit my footages ?

Usual editing rules do not change. You will use Imovie to edit: Just follow the tutorial.

Of course if it is a "lonesome" sequence, it may not be useful to edit it. You can use Uploader straight.

What do I do for the emails & the captionning ?

Remember that when you send a clip shot with an Iphone, you leave the captionning work for the editors.

So don't forget to write the maximum informations in your email. (shotlist, etc...)

What about Shooting approval ?

You should not have to follow the usual procedure, because your subject should be unexpected.

Of course your movie has more chance to be declined

If ever it is expected then write the usual shooting approval emails.

What about communication costs ?

If you transmit from your country, the cost should be negligible.

If you go to a foreign country, check with a technician that your phone subscription has an international option.

Also, you can buy a local SIM card.

What about Androïd ?

will come soon.

What about Blackberrys ?

I don't know... we may need a good test. I need a volunteer
