I had a borrowed iPhone 4 on the weekend to see if it was the right phone for me. One of the things I am interested about with this phone is the abilty to shoot and edit video right on the device. I have been looking for a streamlined workflow for captureing community stories, conference footage etc.

As a test I shot a movie while making dinner. The edit was done apres dinner, while I lounged on the couch. Total edit time was around 25 minutes. Raw footage shot was around 8 minutes or so with a handful of HDR still in the mix.

I can't speak to the upload time yet as I had to give the phone back and the owner (thanks Chris) had to do the off load / upload for me.

Jackson Browne gave us that advice. He would rather have you explore.

Exploring helps you figure out what you can do the next time you present or perform or interact. Rehearsing, on the hand, means figuring out exactly what you're going to do so you can protect against the downside, the unpredictable and the embarrassing.

I'm not dismissing study, learning, experimenting or getting great at what you do. In fact, I'm arguing in favor of this sort of hard work. No, I'm talking about the repetition of doing it before you do it, again and again. Just drilling it in so you can regurgitate later. Better, I think,as they say, "...let's do it live."

A well-rehearsed performance will go without a hitch. An explorer seeks the hitches, because hitches are the fissures and chasms that help us leap forward.
