Trying My Hand at Reviews

April 6, 2009 By Adam

A while ago, a friend of mine said to me “From now on, I’m just going to buy everything you buy.” He was referring to the fact that the last four or five things I’d shown him had soon ended up in his house as well, and that he’d been happy with every purchase.

He’s not the only one to tell me things like this, so I started to kick around the idea of using this languishing blog as a place to write reviews of products and services. I didn’t like the idea at first, as I felt like I’d just end up advertising for a bunch of things I liked, and I certainly didn’t want to give the impression that I was being influenced by any company. However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I didn’t only have to write reviews of products, but also free services, customer service experiences, and even a book review every once in a while.

I’m not sure I’ll end up doing all of these things, but I’d like to at least get my feet wet. So, I’ll be writing some reviews if things I have or use. Please give me feedback on the idea (and the reviews) — maybe together we can make something useful.

Demo Video for GV Mobile iPhone App

April 6, 2009 By Adam

Last week, I saw that the developer of GV Mobile was looking for someone to make a demo video before the app was availabel on the iTunes store. I was excited get my hands on the program, so I said I’d be happy to make the video for him. I wanted to experiment with shooting the screen of my iPhone in the “Apple/Google” style, so I did it that way.

I used no video lights at all for the filming — only room and window light. I was quite impressed with what I could get with only a piece of colored paper, an iPhone, and a tripod as my materials. It was an experiment for me, so I really do appreciate any and all critiques on the video.

The reason there is some yellowness to the shadow is that I did mix lighting colors. If I were doing this as a paid project rather than an experiment, I would definitely have done a few things differently — with lighting at the top of that list (first and foremost, actually using lights!).

Does anyone else have any comments on the video? I was thinking of offering to do these for other iPhone developers for pay, if this one serves Sean well. I’d love to hear what the app-buying public thinks of this kind of video.
