Reporter films story entirely with his iPad 2

By on March 16, 2011 in Devices

Mike McNeill, a reporter working for Fox channel Southeast Texas Live, used his iPad 2 to record a whole segment from his local liquor store.

He did a pretty good job of it too. I wonder if we’ll see more of these kind of self-filmed reports appearing on television soon — the production costs must be ridiculously cheap compared to taking a full crew.

    I’m really wondering about the impact iMovie will make on the iPad2. I’m guessing we’ll see an explosion of videos on Youtube that are more polished because of iMovie on the iPad.

    It looks like he’s filming with the front-facing camera, because he’s looking at the screen occasionally. I’d say the video quality is plenty good enough!

    I think you’re right Matthew — it’s going to be very interesting indeed!

    Oh dear. This sort of thing should be banned unless you use Nokia N8-grade equipment. i.e. the Nokia N8 ;-)
