  What is the best way to shoot a iPhone/iPad video demo?

  Posted by Ryan Brown on January 17, 2012 at 9:26 pm

  I want to achieve the quality of this: https://vimeo.com/29278485

  I just need to be able to see what’s on the screen of the iPad or iPhone. What is the lighting solution to this?

  Thanks!

  Well, this is just a common sense answer but I would say the iPad has a glossy screen so I think what you want is soft ambient lighting with no hot spots and to make sure that whatever does happen to be in the background area of your set (whatever might be reflected in the iPad’s screen in other words) is dark or muted in color so as to further combat annoying reflections

  Yeah bringing in some flags and silks with some outdoor lighting would do the trick- you just want to keep it in the shade and out of direct sunlight.

  Also, a circular polarizer is a must, in my opinion. It can cancel out out-of-phase reflections.
