A Music Video Shot and Edited on the iPhone 4 - R.Vaughn - Live in Your Light

No budget? No problem. We have an iPhone 4.

The first music video fully shot and edited on an iPhone 4 (in Hawaiʻi ... ha ... maybe).

R.Vaughn — "Live in Your Light" — Words and music by Ryan V. Gonzalez. http://www.rvaughnmusic.com. Engineer/Producer: Matthew Honda Video: Directed, Shot and Edited on an iPhone 4 by John Garcia - http://www.john-garcia.com. Grip: KAG Location: Makapuʻu Lighthouse Trail, Oʻahu. July 3rd, 2010.

We look forward to the day when iMovie for the iPhone can do slow/fast/reverse, black and white and other cool stuff. Until then, this will have to do. I'm not much to look at and I'm a shitty actor, but at least you can see how iPhone 4 footage can turn out when you shoot and edit on the mobile device. (Now all we need is the Steadicam Smoothee to hurry up and come out)

Pinch and pull on my friends.

hey when u recorded the video were u lip synching to the song playing from the phone? or from a lil cd player or somethin? and if so were u able to play the song from the iphone to lip synch to while shootin video at the same time?

[themusicofrvaughn]

@elementsk8er506 I was lip synching to a track that was playing on a different iPhone. John synched up the video to the track I was lip syncing too in post, when he was editing on the iPhone.

[themusicofrvaughn]

@KillerTofu808 Yes. Makapuu Lighthouse Trail.

@DaveWatts1337 $299 (plus the monthly bill) might be expensive for a cell phone but when you think of it within the context of what we used it for, it's barely a drop in the bucket.

He uses a tripod perhaps? Lol

[xpors]

man you have some serious talent sounds great.

[denverdanny]

how do you get the clips to line up? few questions...

does iMovie have a crop option (on the timeline not solo like splice)

does IMovie have the option to zoom into the timeline?

does iMovie have the option to move clips

i have splice and splice will let me move audio not video, which is retarded.

@themusicofrvaughn Was any of the post done on a 3rd party film editing program? Or, is there an app for that, too? :P

iPhone 5 is waiting for you: goo.gl\k55ge

The iPhone is not ACTUALLY a phone, but a microcomputer, which happens to have a cellular phone embedded in it. It came out in 2007. The major versions are the iPhone, iPhone 3, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 4. There is similar device without the phone feature called iPod Touch.

Next time you're in Walmart, check it out! Even they carry them. Surprised you didn't know!

"No budget? No problem. We have an iPhone 4."

little contradiction there :) you couldn't really have a more overpriced phone.
