Hand Held Hollywood will be joining in the fun at the 11th Annual San Francisco SuperMeet being held this Friday, Jan 27th, at the Mission Bay Conference Center.  Does that date sound familiar?  It should!  It’s taking place during this year’s MacWorld | iWorld!  So, if you’re already going to be in town for MacWorld | iWorld (or if you’re near the San Francisco area), you should defiantly come check out the SuperMeet! The doors to the vendor area open at 3pm, and the main event starts at 7pm.  This year, they’ve got some great presentations lined up from Adobe,

Hand Held Hollywood is teaming up with Moviola Digital to bring you a night of iDevice goodness. We’ll be showing off some of the most powerful iPhone and iPad apps and accessories for mobile media making. The night will include featured presentations from Cinemek (makers of Storyboard Composer), Chemical Wedding (makers of Toland, Helios, and Artemis Director’s Viewfinder), Teradek (makers of the CUBE), Gamma & Density (makers of Image Control for iPad), Arri, Moviola Studios, and Hand Held Hollywood. Two-hours of demos, conversations, and Q&A. Best of all? It’s totally free! (Space is limited. R.S.V.P. link below)

If you’d like to watch the three minute presentation, you can view it on my directing web site (www.TazGoldstein.com). It was a VERY short

Did it happen while you were sitting on a film set? Perhaps it was in the editing bay? Or maybe when you were finally sick of playing iFart Mobile. You had a sudden realization that the foul-sounding-distraction in your hand might possibly serve a greater purpose.   It can help you make your movie! For me, that moment came when I purchased a storyboarding app named Hitchcock. I won’t go into details about the app (you’ll get plenty of that in future postings), but I will say that it forced me to see my iPhone in a different way. At
