$1.99 iPhone App Saved Oscars Film

$1.99 iPhone App Saved Oscars Film: "$1.99 iPhone App Saved Oscars Film"

"In this video report from CNN, documentary film director Malik Bendjelloul talks about how he used a $1.99 iPhone app to finish shooting his Oscar-nominated film, “Searching for Sugar Man.” The film tracks the rise to fame of the Detroit musician Rodriguez, who never made it big in the United States but became a legend in South Africa. Bendjelloul started shooting the movie on film, but with just a few shots remaining, he found his budget depleted. That’s when he turned to an iPhone app called 8mm by Nexvio, which gave his video a retro feel. “It looks like real film,” says Bendjelloul. “You can’t tell the difference.”"

The Nomadic Worker

Using a smartphone means that my 70minute train commute to and from work each day can actually be productive time.
I use a mobile broadband 3G to WiFi router for connecting my multiple devices, and average 70MB of data usage per trip. This includes checking email, Twitter, news feeds via Flipboard, some Web browsing, rebook reading, and the occasional Google Doc editing and Google Plus Hangout on the go!

Wikitude & Google Maps

Creating custom geotagged worlds for the Wikitude Augmented Reality browser is great - however you are limited to viewing content that is within a few kilometers of your current position - this makes sense as you usually only want information within the context you are currently located on mobile - however you can view your Wikitude world data in Google Maps anywhere using the custom URL linking to your KML file on your Wikitude.me ashboard. Here's a couple of examples:

  1. An interactive Google Map of some of my selected mlearning conference presentations: http://maps.google.com/maps/mapplets?moduleurl=http://wikitude.me/w4/wme/mapplet.jsp?kml=http://w4client.mobilizy.mobi/w4/search?action=mapplet%26providers=2f4f4513-49d0-4b4a-80df-4d5c26b8354f
  2. An interactive map of great cafes in Dunedin! http://maps.google.com/maps/mapplets?moduleurl=http://wikitude.me/w4/wme/mapplet.jsp?kml=http://w4client.mobilizy.mobi/w4/search?action=mapplet%26providers=255d3dcb-5ff9-4b42-944c-a97ce0ebc81e
  3. Of course using a URL shortener makes this rather long URL somewhat more manageable, e.g: http://bit.ly/IUDLC8
  4. And this URL can also be turned into a QRCode for mobile access. e.g.
    http://bit.ly/IUDLC8.qrcode
