We wrote yesterday about how easy it is to shoot video with an iPad 2 and then edit the film with iMovie on the tablet itself. Taking that as a challenge, the folks at indie film maker Majek Pictures created what they say is the first movie edited on iPad 2 with iMovie.
This movie, which is actually a short episode within a longer story, is professionally shot and edited by Michael Koerbel and Anna Elizabeth James -- entirely with iOS devices (iPhone 4 and the iPad 2). It is an episode from the ongoing Goldilocks mobile series films, which are meant to be viewed on mobile devices such as the iPhone 4, and now the iPad 2. Check out the film episode on Vimeo or YouTube. The Goldilocks series, about a former secret agent who is forced back into service when an international secret falls into the wrong hands, was started in the fall and is distributed via the Majek app.
This is one of the cool things about Apple's products that tends to make them into cultural phenomena. They inspire people to create cool works of art that grab attention. It's one reason Apple has such a strong foothold in creative production. This film and the enthusiasm with which it was created distinguishes Apple from all of the other tablet makers. And it's why Forrester and others are predicting Apple will hold on to 80 percent of the tablet market this year.
Koerbel and James got one of the first iPad 2 models in a store and then created this episode entirely on the tablet within the past 24 hours. Nice!
