HHH is MacVideo’s Movie of the Week!

I just found out that that my San Francisco SuperMeet presentation was named MacVideo’s Movie of the Week! That’s freakin’ awesome! If you weren’t able to come to the show, or you tried watching the messed-up live feed, here’s the whole presentation.  Enjoy!

In other news… I just got back from MacWorld. Not a particularly great show, but there were a few items worth discussing. I’m putting the videos together now. I’ll have ’em posted shortly. Check back soon!

Dear iPhone fanatics and filmmaking friends, This will be the final post for Hand Held Hollywood. To loyal HHH readers, I’m sure this feels somewhat overdue. Probably because it is.

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!

  1. Congrats, and thanks for posting that link. Great presentation! I know folks who use one or more of all the apps you showed. 🙂

    My personal favorite being ReelDirector (Editor!!!) I’d been waiting for an editing app since the 3GS released and am still amazed Apple hasn’t offered their own "Mobile-iMovie" yet.
