Centriphone: an iPhone video experiment by Nicolas Vuignier

EmailWhen you come across a video of a guy skiing down a mountain you would expect the video to be shot on a GoPro. Nicolas Vulgnier, however, had a different idea. Swinging his iPhone 6 around his head on a string as he skiis, Vulgnier shot video like nothing else we've seen here.
Billed as 'an iPhone experiment', Vulgnier shows just the plethora of possibilities with small, portable, broadcast quality cameras in almost everyone's pockets.
In an interview with CNET Vulgnier explained that he used a custom-made 3-D printed rig. He had an Olloclip wide-angled lens and a 64GB iPhone 6 (space gray, if you're wondering). He used the Apple camera app at 240 fps and slowed it down by 10 percent.
He admitted he'd tried a GoPro first, but the 120 fps wasn't enough to create the right effect.
Don't worry though, he reassures on YouTube: "No iPhones were harmed during the making of this video (I still use it everyday)."

For most of human history, people lived in a world without news. The concept simply did not exist. The idea of news is really a 19th-century phenomenon, driven first by newspapers, and then by electronic media which brought us radio, then TV and now the web. Now, it seems, we are headed back to a world without news. Not because the technology is not there, but rather because, increasingly, people are no longer interested in news, at least in the way it is packaged now.
What TV News Could Be

When television was invented in the 1930s, no one knew what TV news was supposed to look like. The medium had never existed before, and so, like Gutenberg half a millennium, prior, the first creators of TV news had to fall back on a medium with which they were familiar, and that was radio.
