Slick New iPhone & iPad Animation Templates

This isn’t the sort of thing we typically cover on HHH, but it’s so darn cool, we couldn’t resist.

Ripple Training has just released Screenplay, a set of designer templates for use inside Apple’s Motion and Final Cut Pro for Mac

But these aren’t just any templates. No, sir. These awesome creations feature 3D iPhones and iPads that fly around screen in a wide variety of ways, perfect for title sequences and transitions. Just load up the templates, and select the videos you want to display on the animated screens.  Each 3D iPhone and iPad screen can display something different.

These templates are especially useful for anyone who produces videos about iPhones and iPads (like we do)!  Very neat stuff.

They run $39, and are available directly from RippleTraining.com.

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!
