“The term ‘multiplatform jounalism’ has been around for quite a while now, at The BBC we don’t go to events thinking about just collecting material for one medium. In the past people worked ‘just for TV”, ‘just for radio’ or ‘just wrote for online’- Nowadays individual reporters are encouraged to combine these roles and take maximum advantage of being on location where stories are breaking.
Primarily I work for radio, but since being introduced to the iOgrapher by a BBC colleague I’ve begun filing video shot on iOS which has been regularly used on BBC TV.
The key for me, is that iPads/iPhones/microphones and cables are kit that I will already be bringing to an event anyway. By adding a tripod, iOgrapher and lens – suddenly I‘ve got the capability of turning what originally was due to be a radio interview into a TV interview.
The BBC has been experimenting with iOS video for some time now; capturing content on the fly, man-on-the-street style with the idea that we’d push these videos through our social media channels to help promote our programming. We also thought this would be a creative addition to our coverage of the 2014 World Cup. It’s a great idea, but shooting video on an iPad or iPhone can be challenging. When we heard about the iOgrapher for iPhone 5s and iPad, we realized we could in fact incorporate our iOS videos into our larger production pipeline. With its mounts for lenses, sound and lighting, suddenly we had highly portable, fully functional camera rigs that enabled us to get right into the action and capture great footage for our programming.
Rather than simply providing video clips for social media or websites, the possibilities began to grow. PTC’s (Piece To Cameras) I shot outside the stadium before games using an iPad ended up being used regularly during the World Cup on BBC’s 24-hour rolling news channel. Back at the studio our producers would ‘paint’ other footage over my reports. What was originally just footage of me standing holding a camera with the backdrop of a stadium, now became a full package.
There is huge potential for growth in this area and TV producers are becoming more an more willing to embrace footage shot on mobile devices.
NAB 2014 is upon us; a couple more days, and I hope that flight to Vegas. So once we get there, what can we expect to see from GoPro? Take a look:

It's only a few days before we all head to Vegas for the annual gathering. The show we love to complain about, but admittedly, wouldn't miss for the world. Once a year, we all get together at the LVCC to see what unfolds; and to see old friends.
And there's one guy (actually, it's an entire team) who pours more heart and soul into NAB than anyone I know. Larry Jordan.
Larry's been prepping for this NAB....well, since last NAB. And he's put together another amazing show - even bigger and more ambitious than last year.
So if you're going to the show, stop by the booth and listen in and say hi. If you can't make it, you have to tune in!
See you in Vegas!

Creators of the First iPad Filmmaking Case with Steadicam Handles Expands into Burgeoning iPhone Filmmaking Market; Makes Macworld Debut
San Marino, CA (March 25, 2014) – iOgrapher® LLC (www.iographer.com) today announced it will debut prototypes of the brand new iOgrapher for Apple iPad Air and iPhone 5S in its booth #730 at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco later this week. This is also iOgrapher LLC’s debut appearance at the Macworld Expo since formally launching in November, 2013.
During the show, the iOgrapher team will provide demonstrations of its entire product offering, which spans support for all Apple iOS devices, including the iOgrapher for the iPad 2/3/4, the iPad Mini, the newly launched iPad Air and the widely popular iPhone 5s.
iOgrapher for the iPhone 5s will begin shipping in April 2014, while the iOgrapher for iPad Air is expected to ship in May 2014. The Company is accepting pre-orders from it web site (www.iographer.com) beginning immediately. The iOgrapher for the iPad Air is priced at $64.95 USD and the iOgrapher for the iPhone 5s is priced at $39.95 USD.
The iOgrapher’s unique design features two handles on each side of the case, making the iPad a hand-held ‘steadicam rig,’ greatly reducing shaky footage common when shooting video with mobile devices. The iOgrapher is also designed to enable users to easily add 37mm lenses to its lens mount area for wide angles, fisheye looks, or to capture macro or close up shots. Users can attach lighting and audio gear to its three accessory shoes on the top of the case. The bottom of the case is designed for mounting the iPad to any standard tripod, monopod, or portable dolly.
Created by high-school media arts teacher and filmmaker, Dave Basulto, the iOgrapher was inspired by young filmmakers, who he wanted to empower with the ability to shoot and edit video, take stills and stream video live - all from an inexpensive, accessible device.
About iOgrapher
The iOgrapher is an all purpose mobile filmmaking case for the Apple iPad and iPad Mini, and iPhone 5s, designed and manufactured in the United States. The iOgrapher is constructed from high quality, extremely tough polycarbonate/ABS, and its patent-pending design is for everyone from families with kids, to students, to Indies and professional filmmakers, videographers and mobile journalists.

It was just about a year ago that Dave Basulto and I had some of our first conversations about iOgrapher. This little idea he had. An idea that, maybe with a little Kickstarter backing, he could get off the ground and maybe even change the way a few people think about filmmaking with an iOS device.
Last year at NAB, Dave walked the show floor conducting interviews with vendors and exhibitors using only a 3D print prototype of his design. People were blown away. So much so, they were distracted from their own interviews to ask Dave about his invention. People flocked around him, taking pictures, asking questions. At that moment, we knew we had something.
Fast forward one year later. Dave's coming to NAB with a whole slew of his creations. iOgrapher for the iPad, iPad Mini, iPad Air, and the iPhone 5s. My how a year changes things. And, he has a booth in the South Hall Lower Level - arguably, the hot spot of NAB.

When iOgrapher's inventor/founder Dave Basulto first approached me last spring about his new invention, I knew he had something special. My gut told me that consumers would love it; and I knew the professional production crowd would love it too (the best camera is the one you have with you, right!?).
But what I wasn't expecting was the outpouring from the educational community - not only from filmschools, but from high schools and the university leve as well. So I was really excited - and proud - when the University of Arizona reached out and told us about the amazing things they're doing with special needs students.
And I was especially proud to be involved with this announcement:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
iOgrapher® LLC and the University of Arizona Project FOCUS to Help Students with Disabilities Learn Filmmaking Techniques on the iPad Mini
iOgrapher Filmmaking Case for the Apple iPad Mini Incorporates Design Ideal for Students with Disabilities; Handles Make it Easier to Hold, Shoot Video
San Marino, CA (October, 23 2013) – The creators of the patent-pending iOgrapher® filmmaking support case for the iPad Mini (www.iographer.com) today announced that it has been chosen by the University of Arizona’s Project FOCUS to help students with disabilities learn filmmaking and editing techniques using the Apple iPad Mini and the new iOgrapher filmmaking support case.
The University of Arizona’s Project FOCUS is dedicated to supporting students with intellectual and physical disabilities, and has designed innovative curricula for its students, built on technologies such as the Apple iPad, to help them overcome challenges and ultimately thrive. While Project FOCUS provides iPads to each of its students, many students struggle with grasping and balancing the iPad while shooting video. The iOgrapher, with its built-in handles and tripod mounts has been selected by the University’s Project FOCUS as the ideal solution to enhance the mobile filmmaking experience for their students.
Phyllis Brodsky is project coordinator for Project FOCUS, University of Arizona. While searching for tools and technologies to enhance the curriculum and overall university experience for her students with disabilities, she discovered iOgrapher.
“When I found the iOgrapher, my first thought was how this product could have an unexpected, yet significant impact on people with disabilities,” said Phyllis. “Project FOCUS’ primary aim is helping students with intellectual and physical disabilities better experience the University life, attend courses and just experience campus life at the University of Arizona to the fullest. A one-to-one iPad program is a big part of our program, and videography and photography are often a big part of what our students do. Some use photos or videos to communicate while others like making short video productions that they post on YouTube. We are excited to have the opportunity to use the iOgrapher with our group of students. I believe it will offer them greater physical stability, visual focus and fine motor dexterity then they've had in the past. It will also step it up a notch for them as they think about using it to record interviews and create more professional-style videos.”

Is Facebook finally collapsing under its own weight? It it time to say goodbye?
Lately, I've been feeling it's time. I'm done. Maybe I am getting bored with it - I'm not too sure.
Then there was this announcement: Facebook is now charging big dollars if you want your posts to actually reach your 'friends.'
I tolerated the Farmville onslaughts, survived the 2012 (and 2008) elections, and the friend requests from people from my distant past, who let's just say, are in the distant past for a reason (no offense to nobody!).
But this seems to have done it for me. I thought about it, wrestled with it for a long time - 'it's the biggest social media movement ever! I have to be a part of it! What about all those connections, interactions? Can I just walk away?'
The more I thought about it, how I actually use Facebook - and more importantly - how my 'friends' were using it, the decision become easier. For me, social media is about connecting and engaging with people - mostly people in the industry. I want to share with them what's going on with me, my clients and general happenings in the industry. While I enjoy the sneak peaks into peoples' daily lives, it is really just that - sneak peaks and passing glances. There is no interaction, no dialogue. There was plenty of dialogue about Mitt Romney, Barack Obama - with colorful details and insights into peoples' political expertise and their solutions for what's ailing this country. Sorry. Ain't interested. In fact, I found it disturbing. I had to look away.
And I've been doing that a lot more lately. Looking away.
But what about interacting and sharing useful, interesting information in social media circles?
In a word - Twitter.
I joined Twitter when it launched, not sure what to make of it. In fact, I thought it was kind of goofy. But I gave it a try. I waded into the waters. Not too committal, just....observing, listening and watching.
And over time, I observed something really interesting. I watched as the post production/production industry embraced it. They were talking to eachother! Actual dialogues between people who shared the same passions and visions, and who were willing to help solve problems. Hashtag groups started to emerge. And not just the #OMGicantbelieveiatethewholepizza kind of hashtags. Meaningful, useful ones. Groups that started 'meeting' once a week to talk about any given topic, or to host a special guest. It was great! It IS great! And it continues to get better.
To date, Twitter isn't packaged, marketed and overly contrived - at least not in these circles of filmmakers, cinematographers, editors and VFX artists.
Hanging out with Stu Maschwitz a few weeks ago, he described Twitter as like going to a cocktail party, filled with interesting groups of people talking about interesting things. "I can wander from group to group, topic to topic, and just pop in to a conversation for a bit to see what's going on. I love that about Twitter!"
That conversation really got me thinking.
I'm spending a lot more time on Twitter these days, and less on Facebook. In fact, I've even been experimenting with Google+ as a possible replacement to Facebook - but that's another conversation.
But what do you think? As filmmakers/editors/VFX artists/cinematographers - are you feeling the same way?
Tell me what you think...
Today's announcement from GoPro is a significant one for a few reasons; one, it's a signal of incredible collaboration and innovative vision from the development team at the company. It's also a welcome announcement to a broad swath of the marketplace. We've seen how users ranging from consumers, motocross, skydivers, surfers to general enthusiasts have pushed GoPro cameras to the limit - but now we're starting to see how professional production crews are integrating GoPro cameras into some pretty sophisticated production pipelines.
The GoPro HERO2 introduced a breadth of features the professional crowd cheered about. Now with the availability of GoPro CineForm Studio, GoPro CineForm Studio Professional, and GoPro CineForm Studio Premium, the company is introducing some very sophisticated post production technology that's intuitive enough for the consumer crowd, and highly valuable to the professional filmmaker cutting HD documentaries, or sophisticated 3D stereoscopic productions.
