That would be cool. 1080i on an iPhone that doesn’t lose so much of its color info in its h264 mov file would be a dream. Match that with an ability to natively ajdust iso and focus.. That would be an expensive phone.

@gary:
Nothing could fully replace a Real camera, be it an A cam or B cam. Unless one would wanna get that stock home docu look.

technically if you have a controlled situation then u can get some ALMOST good footage with the iPhone. Remember that there are apps like AlmostDSLR that helps to lock focus and all.

I could imagine that with technology ever changing, the iPhone being used in broadcast is quite a possibility in the future. Scary. Just imagine instead of using a proper camera, you have news reporters using iPhones for on site coverage.

“Hey Mr. Reporter. I need you to head on down to Site X to cover the Political Event right this instant”

“… But there aren’t any cameramen or soundmen free now”

“Just make it happen.”

*whips out an iPhone4 and drags an intern for a second cam. Goes on site, shoots it and heads back while scripting on the go as well as making a base edit. Brings back the footage, passes script to be vetted, hands the crap to the editor and does his VO recording.

*Editor suffers in silence and makes the edit. Part of his pride and soul just died while editing with iPhone Footages.

Remember that GoPro footage are being used in broadcast right now. I’ve weedled a few iPhone footage into some programs and behind-the-scenes footages on DVD before.

Please document her progress! Would make a slightly good docu.

of course it is still in practice! As long as there are budget constraints, there will always be one camera interview set ups!

Teaching single cam set ups is important as you are basically teaching continuity which will come in handy when you have to cut down a 45minute interview into a 1 minute interview (multi-cam or no multi-cam).

Single cam set ups can always be made to look like multi-cam set ups anyway. I could give you examples but basically, you just need to turn to any news channel that has interviews done Out-Of-Studio and it is most likely a one-camera set up.

Master Shot, Cutaways, MCU, CU and possible OS shots are all you need anyway.

Based on heirachy, which cat would top a lion?

Lynx and cougar isn’t higher up than a Lion. Mountain lion like Craig stated? Hahaha

I’d personally go for house cats since there is like a whole lot of them.

Maybe Sabertooth! Since they like to go backwards. *ahem*

Add:

I meant as in which cameras the problemetic audio comes from, is it always the 2nd clip after the 1st good one?

I had a similar problem before and mine was due to frame rates.

This might be a silly question but it might help:

Have you checked the frame rate? And specifically which camera did the audio come from?

Your audio problem isn’t of the jerky sort where there is audio and then suddenly no audio and then audio is back again right?
