iPhone videoediting

ReelDirector is a new iPhone application that you can combine several clips with, a big change from the native Camera app. There are some transitions also, but what makes a difference is that you can make smaller chunks of filming and join them. I’ll get back with some edited material so stay tuned.

Augmented reality

Though I’ve not got my iPhone connected via 3G, I’ve used it already dowloading apps and trying them out using WLAN. Exploring iTunes Store is not making life easy, and finding apps through other channels is far more rewarding. Apps that I’ve installed are mostly productive ones, work-related ones, like TimeSheet. When I enter a meeting, start editing video or doing something else, I tap at an arrow correspondig to that particular project. In the end of the month I got a report and that I like. A lot!

Another app is called CalenGoo, and that views the Google Calendar. Synchronizing the iPhone calendar and Google is not yet implemented. I’m used to Google Calendar, and use it both professionally and personally, and doing it on my iPhone is one step further.

3186162884What makes iPhone extraordinary is definitly the first public and worldwide augmented reality-app called Cyclopedia. To make a long story short: when a certain spot (building, city etc) is mentioned in Wikipedia AND geotagged, the iPhone camera will show a link in the camera window. In other words, when I point my iPhone camera out trough the window, I see the camera image (like a digital camera) and orientation in degrees. If I point it to north, a small textbox will superimpose on the camera image and tellin me that the Replot bridge is in that direction 7 miles away. If I click at the box, the app will get the Wikipedia article about the Replot bridge.

I’ll be back with video material later.

Verdensrekord for modellfly

En gruppe studenter fra Stanford har satt ny verdensrekord i å fly høyt med modellfly. Resultatet har de valgt å dele med resten av verden gjennom filmen under:



Studentprosjekt kan gjerne deles og de utgjør en stor verdi for andre studenter (og lærere) som inspirasjonskilde og motivasjon. I tillegg er dette viktig for å markedsføre institusjonen.

iPhone

Första produktionen med iPhone är härmed gjord. Överraskande är hur enkelt förfarandet är, dvs filmningen görs med mobilen och man behöver inte oroa sig för att början eller slutet blir dåligt. I denna video har jag klippt bort början och slutet-där jag placerade kameran. Därefter följde uppladdningen till Youtube (ett alternativ) där jag hade ett konto från tidigare. Komprimeringen skedde i telefonen vilket gjorde uppladdningen kortvarig.

Vill man använda sig av andra sajter som inte har tidsbegränsning (Youtube max 10 minuter) så kan tex Pixelpipe användas. Då laddar man ner ett App med vilken man skickar videofilen till en sajt, och på den sajten väljer man till vilka tjänster videon forwardas.

Fora.tv

I stumbled upon a site that I could recommend any teacher seeking for some complement for their lecturs. It holds video clips, both short edits as well as full length and covers 1) economy, 2) environment, 3) politics, 4) science, 5) technology and 6) culture. Every video contains metainfo, and a possibility to download it for listening/watching on a mobile device. You are able to create an account in order to make a playlist.

It definitly is worth taking a look:  http://fora.tv/
