TommyLog TECH – Lights, Camera, Emma! #VZWBuzz #ad

Hey Kids it’s Tommy and today I’m joined by my tech partner in crime Emma. Today we want, well mostly Emma since I can’t get a word in edgewise- to talk about how Emma uses Samsung Phones to film her own videos.

Emma has the most vivid imagination of any 8-year-old child I have ever met. She loves to create scenes with her Littlest Pet Shop characters or more commonly called LPS in the kid inner circle. Emma one day picked up my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S7 edge smart phones and the creativity just started flowing. So this kid with ZERO training starts filming 5, 10 even 15 minute videos all on her own; complete with script, dialog, hand painted characters and sets. I’m totally blown away at what she can accomplish! 1 video turned into 5 which turned into 20 – I think her total video count is somewhere close to 50 custom Emma videos uploaded to her own YouTube channel.

To help her with her filming, I got her a Joby GorillaPod tripod  (similar) as well as a tripod mount to hold smartphones.

 

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S7 edge is totally 100% Emma Approved!!

TommyLog TECH – Mobile Video Production Studio #VZWBuzz #ad

Hey kids it’s Tommy, and you know how much I love doing videos — for today’s TommyLog TECH, I set out to see if I could use my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 as a mobile video production studio.

There are so many video-editing apps for the android platform, there is really no way I could test and try each one. I wanted to see if I could find one that  closely mimicked the desktop editing experience.

I had a list of criteria I tried to keep to. I wanted to find an app that allowed for trimming clips, merging clips, adding titles, and had cloud storage capabilities so I could share via Google drive and dropbox.

Now certainly editing is one major component of the mobile video production studio, but taking nice steady shots is also important. Below is a listing of the tools I used to capture this video.

Joby Gorillapod Original

Joby GorillaPod (hybrid – similar)

Smartphone Tripod Mount
Is the mobile experience going to 100% mimic the desktop video editing experience? Probably not, but you can look pretty good, wherever you are, just you and your Note 5.

Using the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 as a mobile video production studio is totally Tommy Approved!
