Yahoo News recently ran a story about director DJ Caruso, and his extensive use of his iPad during the filming of his recent flick, I Am Number Four.
The story briefly discusses Caruso’s use of the iPad to mark-up storyboards, as well as how the iPad’s was used to aid a few special effects shots.
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.
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!
Xiaomi has just launched Xiaomi Studios. The new “Studio” will highlight an expanding selection of smartphone films in an effort to promote

Interesting. A bit thin, but still neat to see what his move into using the iPad was like.
On the other hand, there was one tidbit that made me think "potential HHH interview":
"also spoke of the bizarre experience of trading app recommendations with Stephen Spielberg"
Can’t wait to read that one…
