Apps and Accessories from our SuperMeet Presentation

BIG thanks to everyone who came to last Friday's SuperMeet! It was an amazing day. We met all sorts of great people coming to the HHH Showcase table. And, I had a TOTAL BLAST on stage during the main event. If you were a part of that audience, thanks for making it easy. You were awesome!

If you tried watching the live feed, then you know that they were having some technical issues during my presentation. I was the victim of bad timing. There was no video for most of it, and the end got clipped off. LAME. But, I believe there was another crew shooting the entire event. As soon as that video gets posted online, I'll let you know where to find it.

Since the show, I've been getting a lot of requests for additional info on the apps and accessories I presented. So, here's a list of everything I talked about.

Apple Releases the iPad! I release a squeal!

If an iPhone, a PSP, a netbook, and your TV all fell into a Cuisinart, you'd be left with Apple's new iPad.

Essentially, the iPad is a large-screen iPhone with lots of computing mojo...which is fine by us!  We've often said, "this app is great, but the screen is just too small."  That limitation may have just disappeared.

pCam on sale during Sundance Fest

Bummed you can't make it to the Sundance Film Festival? Yeah... us, too.

Well, it's time to wipe those tears away, crawl out from the shadows, and put on some clothes because I've got good news:

David Eubank, our newest sponsor, has just announced that pCam will be on sale during the Sundance Fest. He's cut $10 off the price (from $39.99 to $29.99).

If you're not familiar with pCam, it's a very powerful on-set calculator for anybody who works behind the camera.

Want to know more?  Click here to read our interview with Mark Doering-Powell, a Cinematographer who's been relying pCam for years.

Apple invites media to view its 'latest creation'

Start saving your pennies, boys and girls! It looks like we might be hearing about Apple's long rumored Tablet in less than 10 days. According to Engadget, Apple is holding a press event on January 27th (at 10am) to show off their 'latest creation.'  Has a very Willy Wonka feel, doesn't it?

If the rumors are true, and Apple unveils a tablet with 10" screen, that will mean BIG things for film and video makers. All the brilliant apps and ideas that were hampered by a tiny screen will suddenly be entirely viable. Screenwriting apps will become more natural. Editing apps will take on shades of iMovie. Scoring apps will feature an octave's worth of actual-size piano keys.

It would be a game changer.

And, as long as it's small and light enough to be considered Hand-Held, HHH will excitedly welcome it's newest obsession.

CES: Hypermac Nano Battery

If you plan on making extensive use of your iPhone during your production workflow, you'll need a backup battery.

Amidst the bazillions of iPhone and iPod batteries peppering the CES floor, I stumbled across the HyperMac Nano. Its small and sexy design seemed like a natural companion for an iPhone.

Many people (including myself) use iPhone cases with built-in external batteries... but sometimes, those cases cause as many problems as they solve. So, it may be worth having something like the HyperMac Nano on hand. 

Get all the details in the video.

CES: Bandshell improves your iPhone's Speaker

The Bandshell iPhone case aims to solve a long-standing problem -- poor speaker performance. If you've ever tried watching a video in a somewhat noisy environment, you know that the iPhone's odd speaker prevents good listening levels.

When I show producers my directing work, I often have to cup my hand over the speaker to manually re-direct the sound towards their ears.  ...and that's exactly what the Bandshell case does.  A built-in, slide-out door re-directs sound towards the viewer.  Simple and effective.
