Apple announced the iPhone 7 yesterday at their event. The much anticipated phone is going to start shipping and will be in stores by the end of the month.

The iPhone 7 has a whole host of new features including a new operating software, higher resolution screen, and the much discussed loss of the headphone jack.  Headphones for the new phone wil now either have to connect via bluetooth or through the lightning power port. 

While many have focused on the loss of the headphone jack, the phone packs new camera features as well that should take your smartphone video production to new heights.  The standard camera on the phone has been improved for better footage in low light, and a new 12 MP sensor. The larger 7 Plus model will feature a dual lens on the back making the zoom on the camera slightly better. 

In addition to the new camera specs, one of the other new aspects of the phone is that it will be water resistant.  Now this doesn't mean you'll be able to take it scuba-diving as you may be able to do with your GoPro, but you can take you phone now to those more rugged shooting locations.

We can't wait here in the office to get our hands on one and show you the great footage it's going to get.

There is a great deal of concern, well placed, that few people under the age of 30 watch TV news. Viewership of TV news in general has fallen off, so naturally, TV executives across the boards are searching for a solution. How to appeal to a demographic that spends most of their time on social media?


Sometimes when you are searching for something, the answer is right before your eyes. For years, I have been looking for a new and powerful way to cover breaking news stories - and now, I think, I've got it.


When we run our video storytelling bootcamps for TV news organizations, our primary focus is on what we call ‘the viewer experience’. It is a given that the journalism is well researched and accurate, but if no one is watching; if there is no ‘audience engagement’ with the story, then you are in fact showing it to no one, which is tragic, and avoidable.
