iPhone video
As part of a new Pan European Project called EuroCreator.com which encourages teenagers and children of all ages to upload media content on to a safe video sharing platform. 15 Year old Ben from a local Community Digital Media Centre in Dublin Ireland, has achieved an amazing feat in one morning.
The new iPhone 3GS was launched in Ireland today and as a result Ben decided to put all the hype to the test. After getting his hands on one of the first units to be sold this morning, Ben decided to use the new features of the iphone which allows you to record live video, and turned the phone on himself.
Within 40 mins he had created a news report about the hype around the new launch of the iphone. The report was entirely filmed by himself and on the actual iPhone while on location at his local mobile phone store. Once the report was finished Ben emailed the report on his phone back to his Communty Digital Media Centre who uploaded it onto eurocreator on his behalf which broadcasted his piece to students all across Europe.
