In fact, do it all on just the iPad 3.<\/p>\n<p>Even though I had my Nikon D4\u00a0with me &#8211; a camera which is far more suited to shooting video &#8211; I decided that it might be fun to shoot and edit on the same device. While I could&#8217;ve shot the video footage more easily on my iPhone 4s than the clumsily large iPad, I wanted to edit on the same device, and the iPad offers a lot more real estate when you edit the clips in iMovie.<\/p>\n<p>The iPad 3 was &#8230; interesting to use as a video camera. Even though it offers stabilization of the image, I think the shape of the iPad just means it will be more prone to camera shake than a D-SLR that you can cradle in your hand. There&#8217;s no easy way to brace the iPad.<\/p>\n<p>Then also, I think I looked a bit of a dork shooting the video on an iPad. Especially with the Nikon D4 dangling off my shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>The real limitations of the iPad came in that you can&#8217;t control exposure or focus. Also, you have a single focal length. Even with that, it was a fun challenge to work around these limitations to come up with a short clip that stands on its own. And for me, it is a wonderful reminder of the few days during which my daughter and I explored Amsterdam.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Related links<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/photography-workshop-amsterdam-netherlands-2012\/\">Workshop report-back: Amsterdam, July 22<\/a><\/li>\n<li>For more videos, follow me on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/neilvn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vimeo<\/a>\u00a0\/\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/NeilvanNiekerk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>edited to add:<br \/>\nDick Mulder from The Netherlands, emailed me this helpful comment about locking focus and exposure:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Just saw your articule about making a movie using your iPad. I discovered (i.e. Without reading the manual.) that focus and exposure c\u00e1n be controled (however a little\/limited). When the scene I like to photograph or film is pretty bright, the exposure is mostly too dark (as usual like using a camera at program mode.).Therefore I point the iPad to a darker area of the scene and press on the screen at something which is also at the distance as my subject is. The trick I found out is that you should keep your finger pressed on the display until it shows a blinking square. After releasing your finger you&#8217;ll see an autofocus and exposure-lock text at the bottom of the screen, YES!!! :-)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Don&#8217;t know if you&#8217;re allready known with this feature, but it did certainly helped me out with exposure-problems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Amsterdam &#8211; A\u00a0travelogue shot and edited on the iPad 3 While isiting Amsterdam for a few days with my daughter, I decided to see how well it would work to shoot and edit a video clip on the iPad 3.
