The news about this app comes from the phine fotographic folk at iPhoneography.
Tilt shift photography is some of the most fun you can have on your iPhone (I use TiltShift Gen for this purpose), and so it stands to reason that Tilt Shift Videos should be the next step up, in a sort of Fun Plus kind of way. Please keep in mind that I haven’t tried the new TiltShift Video ($1.99) app for myself (and neither have the writerographers at iPhoneography), but it does look like an interesting idea.
You can use the app to apply blur and saturation filters to the video being recorded on the iPhone (or iPod Touch 4G), to create an effect that’s a little more cinematic than your average smartphone video.
Unfortunately, I don’t think I like what I’m seeing in the App Store reviews. One of the three current reviews complained of 15-20 minute export time for a one-minute video. That is quite a long time for a minute of footage. Then there’s the fact that the screenshots don’t really inspire confidence in the blur effects. What I see in the App Store looks a lot more like the blurring that news shows do to anonymizes faces and name tags, instead of the dramatic blurring the app description promises.
In the end, this is the kind of thing we’d really need to see in motion to judge, and so it’s just a little surprising that the official TiltShift Video website doesn’t feature any kind of video. Just text. Huh.
