OWLE Bubo
By OWLE. Worth $129.95
Getting the most out of the iPhones camera is important, but the main problem when shooting pictures or video with one is that it's still just a phone. The simplest and yet most effective feature of the OWLE is that it's built for you to hold like a camera. Taking photo's and video is as much about the device as it is the subject. The OWLE gives you the feeling that you can shoot any scene or cover any story with confidence. Each of the two grips are adorned with standard female tripod mounts on both the top and bottom. The OWLE Bubo's universal "Coldshoe" mount is great because it doesn't care what kind of light or microphone you attach to it. The OWLE Bubo comes Standard with 37mm lens threading, as well as a 0.45x Wide angle/macro combination lens. The ability to change filters and lenses will give you the freedom to choose what your audience sees. In Short the OWLE Bubo gives you the ability to film baseball games, graduations, skydiving, race car driving, tennis, lunch, croquet, walking, feature films, short films, internet videos, home videos, puppies, kittens, weddings, celebrations, children, birthdays, jetskiing, fighter jetting, walking your dog when you get home, and cooking, all on a phone that's no longer just a phone... Because now it's an OWLE Bubo.
NOTE: The guys from OWLE are confident the iPhone 4 will fit in the OWLE Bubo as is. However, if the new iPhone design is not compatible with the current Bubo, the OWLE guys have assured us that they will not rest until they have a Bubo that works with the new phone (which might result in a short delay of delivery).

ProPrompter Wing
By Bodelin Technologies. Worth $149.00
The ProPrompter Wing turns your iPhone into a teleprompter! Made of sturdy aircraft aluminum the ProPrompter Wing attaches to the tripod mount of any camera and the forward adjustable arm swings to the left or right of the lens. The mobile device clip holds your iPhone. iPod touch or Pocket PC. Slide the clip directly beside the lens. Now your eyeline to your iPhone is on the same level as the lens so you can use the old cue card trick: Stand back about 6 to 8 feet. Keep your eyes on the scrolling script and never glance over to the lens and it will appear as if you are looking into the lens. This is made easier because the width of the iPhone is not far enough away from the lens to draw your head or eyes further to one side. The Wing folds away into your backpack, camera bag or briefcase and is the lightest most affordable teleprompter in the world. (video camera not included)

Scripts Pro
By Stephen M. Levinson. Worth $5.99
Scripts Pro is an easy-to-use screen writing application for the iPhone, iPod Touch AND the first and last iPad screenwriting app you'll need! Using a "TAB" button, you can easily switch between each element of the script. When writing in desktop screenplay programs, you forget about the program all together and are focused entirely on writing your story. The same thing is true with Scripts Pro because there is no cluttered interface or complex solutions to writing. Apple didn’t include a TAB key in the iPhone keyboard so I took it upon myself to create it and include it in Scripts Pro. There’s simply no better way to write a script.

Toland ASC Digital Assistant
By Chemical Wedding. Worth $39.99
For more than 70 years, the American Cinematographer Manual has been the key technical resource for cinematographers around the world. Chemical Wedding is proud to be partners with the American Society of Cinematographers in bringing you Toland ASC Digital Assistant for the iPhone or iPod Touch. Cinematography is a strange and wonderful craft that combines cutting-edge technology, skill and the management of both time and personnel. Its practitioners “paint” with light whilst juggling some pretty challenging logistics. We think it fitting to dedicate this application to Gregg Toland, ASC, whose work on such classic films as Citizen Kane revolutionized the craft of cinematography. While not every aspect of the ASC Manual is included in Toland, it is designed to give solutions to most of cinematography’s technical challenges. This application is not meant to replace the ASC Manual, but rather serve as a companion to it. We strongly encourage you to refer to the manual for a rich and complete understanding of cinematography techniques.
NOTE: This app is so new, it's not even in the App Store yet! If you win the HHH Giveaway, you'll be one of the first people to get their hands on Toland!

In this race, second place is nothing to sneeze at!
One lucky runner-up will be winning a copy of EVERY APP from the Grand Prize package! How cool is that?! You'll need to supply the hardware with this one, but we'll be giving you a collection of incredible apps that will turn your iPhone into a mini-production powerhouse! You can read about the apps under the Grand Prize section above (just look for the stuff in the red boxes). Hooray!
You've got until 11:59pm (pacific) June 23 2010 to enter. Winners announced June 24th.
The HHH Filmmaker iPhone Giveaway is open to United States residents only. Entrants must be 13 years of age or older, with a valid U.S. mailing address. If you're not a U.S. resident, you're not eligible to win. Sorry 'bout that. We're working on making our next giveaway an international incident... I mean, event.
The winner of the Grand Prize will be receiving the iPhone in the form of an Apple Store iPhone Gift Card (in the amount of $199). The winner will be responsible for all other expenses associated with the iPhone, including applicable taxes, insurance, and service contracts. In case you missed that, we're not giving you the phone service. We would if we could... but, we can't. Moving on!
The winners will receive their Apps in the form of redemption codes that can be redeemed from within iTunes, or directly on the iPhone (in the App Store app). All codes WILL expire if not used within 2 weeks. Actually, it may be 3 weeks, but let's just say 2 to be safe. Yeah, 2. 2 weeks. So, if you win, no dilly-dallying. Got it?
There's one exception that previous rule. Since Rehearsal is a free app, you will not need a redemption code. Just download the app as you normally would (for free), setup your account inside the app, and then we'll supply your account name to Rehearsal's developer who will credit your account with a year's worth of free service. Sweeeeet!
One other thing to keep in mind about the apps. There's a chance a few of these apps will need to be updated before they're 100% compatible with Apple's new iPhone OS (now called iOS). Please be patient with the developers while they make the necessary changes.
You don't need to sign up for the HHH newsletter, and signing up doesn't help you in the least during this giveaway... but think of how awesome you'll feel knowing that you made the little number climb higher on our newsletter mailing list. You can sign up in the upper right. No pressure. Really.
There's a bunch more legal stuff you should probably know before entering the giveaway. The Official Rules can be found right here.
Good luck!
