iPhone Shorts

  iPhone Shorts

Every few weeks I like to show you guys some of the newer iPhone short films being made. We will still focus mostly on the iphone 4s as a digital film making tool, but we will when they present themselves look at iphone 5 short films as well.  
Never Trust a Gypsy from kelly fancher on Vimeo.
The following footage is from an award winning film maker. He has not only shot a great iphone short film, but has also shot a behind the scenes video. It is not in English, but many of the world’s best digital film makers are from other countries. This is where I should include films shot with the iphone 5, but there is not a great deal of footage out there yet. It is a great device, but with the exception of the apps that are available for film makers we are still catching up in the other areas. The needed attachments are just hitting the market. With the design of the iphone 5 being different from the iphone 4s it has meant that most of the lenses and supports used by film makers do not translate to the iPhone 5. There is also the fact that the iphone 4s is a great little device and why put it away as a film making tool unless you have to. I am going to do a post of nothing, but iPhone 5 short films. If you have one that you believe should be included, drop me a message by leaving a comment here or you could add me to your google plus and send me a message that way. Thank you for visiting.

The Newest iPhone Filmmaing App

               The Newest Iphone Filmmaking App

Neal Edelstein, the producer of the films Mulholland Drive and the Ring has advanced the iPhone film making world by introducing a new IOS App. With this App a film is delivered in chunks. The first movie that he has made available through this App is his own production, Haunting Melissa. A straight horror film that would probably do well on any platform, but will help to advance the use of this game changing app.   Haunting Melissa does not have an exact length. I understand that they shot thousands of hours of video. This video is offered in chapters on a timeline that can be tweaked on the back end. This means that the content constantly changes. Like different options on a video game. You could go back to a previously viewed chapter and find that it has changed slightly. The possibilities are awesome and for the creator the profits could be as well. Each chapter will be offered at .99 cents in the iTunes store, but you could buy a season pass for as low as 6.99. I believe that the first chapter is free to view. This could advance the world of iphone film making by providing another attractive platform for the iphone film maker to market his or her material. If you want to be a film maker all you have to do is go out and shoot something everyday. You learn by doing the day to day work. Shooting your films, editing your short films. Posting them online and sharing them with friends. Thank you for visiting. Please take a moment to share this post with a friend. Apple iTunes Sony Creative Software Inc.
