Video editing on the iPad #videography #ipad

I am apparently the last person on earth who does not yet have an iPad. Anyway, those that have them are using them for video editing, as described here: Quick-edit Videography with iMovie for iPad « Moving at the Speed of Creativity.

Me, I still use my MacBook for portable work. Why? I like having over 100 Gigabytes of disk storage available, plus an external disk drive as well. I store stills and video on board while traveling.

For event videography, I sometimes record direct to disk, routing the Canon XH A1’s firewire output direct to the Macbook. This copies the HDV equivalent files to the disk, for captureless editing. At 12 to 13 GB per hours, this uses up considerable disk space rather quickly!

University of British Columbia students created a “LipDub” promotional video for UBC and have raised the ante in the genre of lipdub videos. How many lip dub videos have you seen that feature a unicorn, underwater and aerial scenes and had separate production units for the underwater and aerial scenes?

Watch the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dpp3quce1Vo&feature=player_embedded

Web site, news stories about the video … UBC LipDub – News.

Update: Not as well known, the UBC – Okanagan campus also released their own school spirit lip dub video. By coincidence it was video taped the same day as students at the larger UBC-Vancouver campus were shooting their video!
