Last night I had dinner with Pablo Rodrigues from Chile. He’s the Tobii reseller in South America (not Brazil) and is also a film director.

I asked him for tips about taking videos of my son using my iPhone 4.

Here’s what he reckons:

1. Don’t move the phone, use a tripod and let Ben move.

2. Give Ben another point of view, not your own. Put your camera where you can’t be.

3. Get Ben to interact with the camera, hide it and let him find it.

4. Find something in the view to give the shot perspective.

I also watched Pablo edit a heap of video yesterday and realised it is really easy in Adobe Premier, Movavi or iMovie!

I played with Ben for an hour or so this arvo and this is what I came up with tonight!
