Check out this cool video from Kyle Jones who stuck his iPhone 4 inside of his guitar. His experiment resulted in an interesting rolling shutter effect on the guitar strings as he played.

StoryBoard Artist Version 5 Adds Some Bling to Storyboarding
One of the things I enjoy the most about working with video is preproduction. While it is certainly a very creative process, it’s also very analytical, which fits with the way my brain is wired.
Specifically, I really get into the storyboarding and previsualization process. So when PowerProduction Software sent me an email about the release of its new StoryBoard Artist Version 5, I spent an hour or so digging around the company’s site and reading others’ reviews of the prior versions.

3 Great Timelapse Videos
These three videos from Jeff Chen Kuo Chih were captured over the period of several days in the Eastern Sierra. The foreground lighting in the third video adds an almost surreal effect to the night shots of the Milky Way.
It’s worth noting that these were shot using a combination of the Nikon D5100 and Nikon D3 cameras.
While the Canon 5D Mark II seems to get all the attention in time lapse videos, Nikon deserves a lot of credit for the time lapse capablities of its DSLRs. Most of the recent Nikon DSLRs (excluding the very base-level models) offer a built-in intervolometer, which means you can shoot time lapse sequences right out of the box without the need to by a $150 remote as is the case with Canon time lapse work.
