Vimeo for iPhone

No, really this time. Many remember last August when Vimeo announced it finally had iPhone support. This was huge for the industry. For some time, Vimeo.com has been a leader in video hosting sites for professionals. Now the deal is sweeter because Vimeo has launched their official iTunes App!

Unlike standard [iphone] browser support, the app allows you to capture and edit video, save, manage and share and that's just to name a few key features.

The best part about it is your Vimeo.com account is free and so is the app. They even allow you to set up a "Vimeo Plus" account for a minimal membership fee. Vimeo is an all around great community, so while you're there feel free to check out the Staff Picks.

Quick Key Lights - iPhone 4 (Arri ALEXA and the iPhone 4)

Since the release of the original iPhone, Media Specialists and Gurus of all areas have flocked. With each update proving more and more capable, the potential uses grow. Apple always tends to hold back on the features, just because they can, but what they give you is truly a work of art. They make these choices for whatever reasons they have, and consumers complain...but they buy.

With the release of the iPhone 4, Apple now had the wide open attention of professionals. Not only can we shoot, edit and upload a questionably professional movie with a single device, but we also get facetime and retina display. The phone has also increased Skype's popularity, who last week added the ability to make calls over the 3G network.

Skype is only one of the many useful media related apps. Above is an image by Cinematographer Bill Bennett. Here he is using two iPhones with the Flashlight app to completely light the subject. The key light is set to 100% brightness and he dials in 50% for the hair light. The camera in use was the Arri ALEXA. Visit Bill on MobyPicture for a frame grab and other cool behind the scenes shots.
