My first iPad 2 video short

I finally tested  my iPad 2 video capabilities when I did behind the scenes footage for a video shoot at Community Praise Center Church.

Here are my findings:

• iPad 2 video works best outside on an overcast day (that way you can see what you are filming and footage will come out better)
• It pics up video articfacts you can see when it looks over exposed or when the video is “hot”
• The front facing camera is not good at all, its SD quality and mostly for FaceTime.
• You look a little akward holding that screen, but you can hold it fairly steady.
• iMovie software on the iPad 2 was very easy to use and intiuative.

I enjoyed shooting with the iPad 2, but I will use it for family and behind the scenes videos, there won’t be a need to give up my gear.
