Updates a poppin'!

DateThursday, July 22, 2010 at 8:55AM

Greetings campers!  Here's a few recent app updates you might not be aware of.

Vintage Video Maker 1.5 - This great app for adding a old-time look to any video is now iPhone 4 friendly.

ProPrompter 1.5 - Some BIG imprvements here.  When using the app on your iPad, you can now feed live prompter video to any VGA monitor using the iPad VGA connector!  Also in this update comes the ability to edit your prompter scripts in a WYSIWYG editor mode.  This means you can edit your scripts while knowing exactly what it will look like for your talent.  That's awesome if you want to add very specific line breaks, etc. They've also addressed some bugs.  Here's a look at ProPrompter (and some related hardware) in action.

mRelease 1.0.3 - They've made it iPhone 4 friendly, and added an optional 'Witness field.  Useful, I suppose, but I'm really looking forward to editable releases.  You can read our review here.

Toland ASC Digital Assistant 1.1 - Yup, there's already update!  This new version adds high-res graphics for the iPhone Retina display.  It also squashes a few bugs and such.  You can watch an interview with the developers right here.

HHH Interviews the makers of TOLAND

DateWednesday, July 21, 2010 at 8:55AM

Calling all DP's! Chemical Wedding has just released Toland ASC Digital Assistant ($39.00), a new iPhone film calculator unlike any calculator you've seen before.  It's totally sick.  If the Cray XT5 Supercomputer, and an Arri Elexa had a love child, my guess it would grow up to be Toland.

Unlike many other film calculators, Toland takes your entire shooting system (camera, format, lens, film stock, filters, etc.) into account when crunching your numbers.  It's not just a "how much is in focus" gizmo. No way. This thing goes WAY deeper.  So deep, in fact, that I have no clue what these guys were talking about half the time.  But then again, I'm not a DP.  But if you're a DP, you need to check out our interview with the makers of Toland.  They give a little background, and a very deep tour of the app.

RunPee (One of our favorites) hits 2.0!

DateMonday, June 21, 2010 at 9:00AM

Sure, there are apps to help you carefully craft your latest masterpiece, but here's an app that helps you truly enjoy the efforts of others.

Of course I'm speaking of RunPee Mobile, the app that tells you when it's safe to go to the bathroom while at your local cineplex. No, I'm not kidding, and yes, it's awesome. Best of all, it's free (but I would have paid for this one).

Simply launch the app before the lights go down, pick the movie your about to watch from a list of current releases, and start the built-in timer when the film begins. Then, based on your settings, RunPee Mobile will notify you when you should head to the restroom. Naturally, these alerts come during the less important moments in the film.

mRelease keeps you legal...and covers your ass.

DateTuesday, June 15, 2010 at 9:01AM

Now here's an app that falls squarely into the "why the hell didn't I think of that?" category.

What happens when you're shooting on location, and you suddenly remember that you left all your blank release forms at home.  Don't fret.  Thanks to mRelease from being MEdia, you'll always have four of the most common production releases (appearance, property, location, and crew) right on your iPhone.  Here's how it works:

Developer Interview: Movie*Slate 2.0

DateFriday, June 11, 2010 at 9:00AM

One of our favorite iPhone apps just graduated to the iPad.  Not only is it bigger, and prettier, Movie*Slate 2.0 has added some very impressive, and professional features.  Rather than just list the new bells and whistles, I decided to contact the app's author, Cliff Joyce of Pureblend Software... and let him list all the bells and whistles.

Here's what Cliff had to say.

Will iMovie for iPhone kill ReelDirector and 1st Video?

DateTuesday, June 8, 2010 at 1:00PM

How's that for a provocative title? I was thinking of calling this posting, "Will iMovie for iPhone drag the other iPhone video editing apps, kicking and screaming into a dark ally and then shiv 'em?", but I didn't want to be gratuitous.

Let's cut to the chase. NO. iMovie will not kill 1st Video (consumer version) or ReelDirector, the two reigning champs of video editing on the iPhone, but it may put them on life support if they're not careful. Now that Apple will be pushing its own video editing app, 1st Video and ReelDirector will have to work harder to find an audience. But that's not necessarily a bad thing.
