Here’s how we rang in the new year with a low-key session at MC’s bowl. It’s a short video shot, edited and produced entirely on an iPhone. An Olloclip fisheye lens attached to the phone along with the 8mm app and iMovie app was all that was required. So if your looking for an econo video editing suite, this just might fit the bill. EPM “no computers were harmed in the making of this video” Out!
