iPhone Video: What effect is this, and where do I get it???

[giddyap]

Would somebody mind taking a look at this video and tell me how they believe it is made?
I am quite sure that it is made with an iPhone, tho perhaps I'm wrong, and I doubt that there is a second person in the room making the camera slooooooowly move up over the course of the song.


Thanks!

I was hoping some video person would have responded yesterday, and I don't do video, but if I had to guess I would guess two possibilities:

1. The tripod mount was slipping ever so slowly, and he didn't notice or tighten the mount.

2. He used some sort of clock drive to pan the camera upward.

BTW: Since you know his name, why not ask him?

They used a crane.

Can you please tell me about "clock drives," and how they would function within/on an iphone?

I don't know about what options are available on cranes. The i phone or whatever camera was used may not have that capability.

Cranes are like tripods.... they're not designed for a specific camera type. You can use a GoPro, iPhone, P&S, DSLR.....

Let Me Google That For You has long been a nice go-to passive-aggressive technique, but it came up quite short here...

Can you get one with a drive on it?

I've never seen one. But that doesn't mean they don't exist. I can't imagine Hollywood and Madison Avenue don't have them, albiet probably out of the budget of the average shooter.

O.K., I found one.

Price is good, specs are good, availability is good. Just mount whatever camera you are using (up to 11 pounds) and video away to your heart's content.

They even have one for phone use specifically, for only $65.

Yes, is the one I was referring to. For some reason this crappy Android phone does not want to work right when I try to copy URLs. It is a Samsung J2 Core, and I think it is a real piece of garbage.

You're still ahead of me. I basically use my smart phone as a telephone. My wife has to walk me through setting up special functions.
