The thick of it
Many of you probably know about the Life in a Day project, headed by Ridley Scott and Kevin Macdonald. The idea was for everyone in the world to film whatever happened on July 24. The editors are now sifting through the tens of thousands of submissions. I thought this was interesting:

Scroll down to the Kevin Macdonald video on the left. Behind him, all the editors are hard at work, and they're all using iMacs. In front of them, facing the camera, is a Macbook Pro.

I created an entry that was entirely shot on my iPhone 4. I had to break it up into 6 parts to upload it. The first part is here:

Notice that everything seems stretched. In order to tweak the audio, I took all the clips into FCE and then exported them as 720p HD (supposedly the same as the iPhone). But every export created that odd stretching.
