HHH presentation at the DV Expo this Thursday!

The Digital Video Expo is back at the Pasadena Convention Center, and I’ve been asked to give an HHH presentation! I’ll be hitting the stage (a.k.a. slightly raised platform) on Thursday at 2pm, and will be leaving the stage 45 minutes later (or sooner if they get sick of my accidental swearing).

As you might expect, I’ll be yapping about the latest production apps & accessories for your iPhone and iPad. If you’re a mobile filmmaker, you’ll totally dig it.

But wait, there’s more!

I’m not the only one who’s gonna be presenting. The Expo has a room set aside for a whole day’s worth of mobile app presentations! I have no idea who else will be presenting throughout the day, but hopefully it will be a good group.

So, if you’re going to be in Pasadena, or you’re already planning on attending the DV Expo this Thursday, make sure to stop by Room C at 2pm and say hi! I’ll be the frantic guy on stage.

As always, make sure you check the Expo’s website for pricing info before you make the drive. If you’re flat broke, you should still come to the expo. You won’t be able to see the presentations, but the exhibit hall is totally free… and free don’t suck.

See you there!

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. Please does anyone know the actual attendance figures at DVExpo in Pasadena this year?
    (I’m covering the shows for Insync Publications and we’re trying to get a handle on the state of the industry; trade show attendance, and exhibitor enthusiasm (aka, sales) are good indicators.

    I’ve got a deadline of Tuesday early am, so if you know anything relevant, a reply any †ime †oday or tonight would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks! Robert
