How has the iPhone made your life easier? If you have one, though your cell phone bill has probably increased and you may experience separation anxiety, chances are there are some apps you adore and the constant connectivity has become the new norm. But have you ever created something with your iPhone? A song? a video?
There are millions of videos that were shot on an iPhone, but when has the device also been the star? I applaud these musicians for their creativity, but also their patience in creating these videos staring their beloved devices (which I imagine they may have wanted to throw across the room a few times during the process.)
Jeremy Fisher "Shine a Little Light":
Aside from the gear, (iPhone, editing software, camera), Jeremy shot and cut this video for "Shine a Little Light" by himself for around $20, and a whole pile of time. His alleged biggest challenge, dealing with the talent.
Now onto the Elwins's "Forgetful Assistance":
This video took three months preparation and nineteen takes to complete! Scenes shot for the video are played off four iPhones and one iPad, and the devices are led through a choreographed "dance" around the screen as the video plays out.
Any other videos come to mind?
When it comes to your mobile phone, do you actually use it the most for phone calls?
