HHH is headed to the San Francisco SuperMeet!

We got some great news today!  Hand Held Hollywood has been asked to give a presentation at this year’s San Francisco SuperMeet!

What’s a SuperMeet, you ask? It’s the reason you should hop in your car and get to the Mission Bay Conference Center on Friday, Feb 5th.  I suppose you’ll be wanting a few more details.  Alrighty then…

SuperMeets are gatherings of Final Cut Studio, Adobe and Avid editors, gurus and digital filmmakers from throughout the world who use, or want to learn to use Macintosh-based workflows.

There’s one held every year in San Francisco, as well as Las Vegas, Amsterdam, and London — with more on the way.  SuperMeets usually feature new product demos, digital video tips and tricks, and filmmaker show and tells. There’s also something called the Digital Showcase where developers can present their products in a mini-expo like environment.  HHH will have a table at the Showcase where I’ll be joined by several iPhone app developers including Jonathan Houser, the creator of Cinemek Storyboard Composer (aka Hitchcock).

Throw in a ridiculous raffle ($40,000 worth of stuff!), free classes from Canon, Adobe, & Red Giant, and hula dancing, and you’ve got one hell of an event!  (I made up the part about the hula dancing… but it wouldn’t surprise me).

I’ll be there, yapping about iPhone Apps for production, but there’s a whole line-up of great presenters.  I’ve pasted the current list below.

Tickets usually sell out for these things, so if you’re thinking of coming, consider grabbing your tickets early.  For more info, check out the SuperMeet website.

Hope to see you there!

Shang-Chi Director Directed From His iPhone

I enjoyed reading this brief ScreenRant story, so I thought I’d share it here. It describes how Destin Daniel Cretton, the director of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings, was forced to direct an important scene via his iPhone while in the hospital for the birth of his child! Sadly, it doesn’t divulge the details of that unusual workflow, but it’s an excellent reminder that we’re all toting the world’s most versatile piece of filmmaking gear in our pockets and purses!
