When I recently opened the comments here, a reader brought up the fact that the videos were blurry. I was aware of this, and go on to explain that it was because of poor lighting that I had to use a setting on the camera called “automatic rightlight”. Which is a great feature if you’re just taking pictures. . .but when you’re filming motion it sort of messes things up.
So after reading that I went to the local Walmart to look for some bright bulbs. I changed the one I was using and then brought in another lamp(with another bright bulb).
This seems to have helped the videos. As you can tell, the two videos posted on Monday were using the new lights. Now the screen isn’t as bright. . .which I am sort of bummed about. But I will definitely continue tweaking this . . .so hopefully I can make the videos look better and better.
Do you see any difference in the videos posted on Monday and the videos posted last week?
Is it better, worse, or does it even matter(maybe you don’t watch the videos)?
In this update they just changed the repo source that they were on. Now hey are available via the RIP Dev source. It also costs 9 USD now as well. They do offer a free 3 day trial. . .and if you have donated to the developers in the past(no matter what the amount). . .then they give you your own license.
With the launch of the initial iPhone, user generated music videos sprang up one after another. It makes me wonder if the same will happen with the iPhone 3G. . .
This week we have an abstract theme. . .it seems to be missing a few of the basic icons but it looks like it could be great with future updates. It even uses a grey scale color to add to it’s style
Out of over 70+ games, you have all voted then down to 24 games. I will be putting all 24 games into a poll(below), and the 10 games with the most votes(by next week) will move onto Round 3.
Don’t remember one of the games below? Either install it on your iPhone or iPod Touch and check it out again. . .or just search for it here(the search box is in the sidebar of the website).
Casual games on the web are great. Casual games on your iPhone(anywhere you want) is that much better. Nintendo has done a great job at proving the ‘causal video game market’ is nothing to scoff at. Take a look at the online casual game market they’re able to bring in over $1 billion in annual sales.
It’s been just over a year since Apple released the 1st generation iPhone. . .and already casual games have made their mark. Below is a list of the top 25 games for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
I have plugged the RSS feed of my Revver videos into Feedburner. . .and let Feedburner set up the feed for iTunes. Now you can subscribe to our daily videos(normally 2 per day) right in your iTunes client.
I read that it might take a week until it shows up in the iTunes store(by searching). . .but until then you can just click the link above. . .or click the link in the sidebar(top right).
The more that subscribe the better it will ‘rank’ in iTunes. So please, everyone go subscribe(even if you have to unsubscribe later. . .it still helps).
Note - It will day a day or two until all 300+ videos are up in iTunes. . .right now it’s only showing the first 16, this will change soon though.
