Capture clean audio it’s probably more important than the video quality.Get as close to your subject as possible.Properly recording video with an iPad requires that the filmmaker knows just a few fundamentals about shooting video with a mobile device: Like most video techniques, though, shooting video with an iPad, or any other HD video-capable tablet or mobile phone, and getting professional results, requires more than the camera itself – no matter how powerful it might be. Of course, there are professional grade video editing iOS apps available as well, making the iPad a complete filmmaking system taking “in-camera editing” to a whole new level. These apps even make use of the iPad’s wifi and cellular connects to add features like real-time video streaming, video capture to wireless storage devices, monitoring and remote control. For the more advanced user, the Apple Store offers dozens of excellent video camera apps that make the built-in camera even more powerful through image enhancement, stabilization, filters, exposure meters, aspect ratio and other granular controls. The screen is large and bright and the iPad’s camera controls are simple, intuitive to use and rich with features. The iPad shoots gorgeous high definition video right out of the box. It’s such a shame, too, because the iPad has a tremendous amount of potential for shooting professional quality video, even in the hands of an amateur or inexperienced filmmaker. While everyone craned their necks to see around the iPad, I could only think about who was going to be held hostage and subjected to having to watch that mess in the future… and I shuddered. It was unstable, not entirely horizontal and the exposure was drifting due to the sunlight coming in and out of the stain glassed window behind the officiant. She couldn’t see the video she was getting… but the rest of us could. She was seated in the 2nd or 3rd row back from the bride and groom and had the iPad held up over her head.

I am reminded that, just a few weeks ago, an older lady was shooting video with an iPad at a wedding, and it was a large tablet, much to the consternation of me and everyone behind her.

I admit, I still chuckle and shake my head a bit when I see people carrying around their iPads and casually taking pictures of their vacation or shooting video with an iPad at their kids’ latest recital.
