iPhone Dailies

[AaronPicot]

Anyone making iPhone dailies as a part of their current DIT/Data Management workflow? What program and specs do you like to use? What do you find is the fastest vs best quality? Specific programs used?

Thanks,
Picot

People must be very protective of this information.....

Considering it, h.264 encodes onto a locally hosted webserver (On set) piped out over on set wifi. Haven't got into any hard testing yet but works in theory.

On-set WiFi, right. This would be great, but I've heard a lot of productions say "Oh, we'll have WiFi on set" and then nothing.

Thinking of an air-card (like from Sprint maybe) to upload to a server right away. h.264 for sure.

Individuals and businesses are already doing this, and I am going to get some more people's opinions about this next week. Just trying to see if anyone out there is already doing this.

I've made a few of my own tests, and I have a theory of what I think will work, but it requires everyone to either have a Mac or an iPhone. And on a movie set, WHO OWNS ONE OF THOSE?? lol

No no no , production would never allow the dailies to go onto the net at all, all someone has to do is intercept your sprint card and they have everything, at least with a controlled wifi you can have the streams encrypted and never leave the on set network.
Provide onset wifi yourself, if your a DIT bundle it into your rates. Doesn't take a huge amount of work and a smallish investment. Although saying that I do come from an IT background.

Provide onset wiki yourself if your a DIT bundle it.

I'm sorry, I don't understand this at all. What does this mean? What's wiki?

Sorry typo, I meant WiFi. Bundle it as a service along with your DIT work.
