Respon Dari Video Toca Tea Party

Salah satu kegiatan akhir pekan kami adalah bikin 'video review' tentang aplikasi anak-anak untuk iPad (Teddy's Day & Teddy's Night) dengan Arwen, Leia & Neo jadi reviewernya. Kali ini, kami membuat review untuk aplikasi Toca Tea Party.



Dalam video ini, kami hanya memperlihatkan ekspresi natural dari krucil apa adanya saat bermain dengan aplikasi ini. Lucunya, suasana serunya justru saat malam jelang tidur, mereka tertawa-tawa bareng Mamin. DSLR belum siap, terpaksa syuting dadakan pakai iPhone 4 dalam suasana low-light (walau akhirnya sempat mengambil beberapa angle dng DSLR) tidak ada cahaya tambahan dari jendela.

Sesaat setelah kami upload & tweet videonya, kami mendapatkan respon tidak terduga dari tim developernya:

Our friends @tocaboca just got this amazing video made by a happy father who bought Teaparty. You have to watch! http://vimeo.com/21717251 (link)

@pinot your amazing video really lifted everyone's mood here at Toca Boca! So it's me who's bowing to you ;) (link)

@pinot We're all very happy in the office right now because of your video! (link)

@pinot Love your video! I'm proud to be part of @tocaboca :) Can we snailmail some presents to you? (link)

Kami benar-benar tidak menduga mendapatkan respon yang mengharukan ini. Bahkan mereka berjanji mengirimkan gift untuk Arwen, Leia & Neo ke alamat Jakarta.

Terlihat betapa tim developer aplikasi ini bekerja dengan segenap rasa, hati mereka tersentuh saat menyaksikan hasil karya mereka diapresiasi oleh anak-anak kami.

Giant Sand Storm!

Langit sore yang cerah tiba-tiba gelap seperti mendung. Saat menatap jendela, awan pasir hitam pekat sudah menutup langit. Creepy!

When The Kids Meet The Old PowerBook 170

Got this dead dusty PowerBook 170 in Kuwait flea market for $6. Interesting to see how our kids react when they see this 20 years old artefact. Arwen is asking "What's floppy disk?"

Recorded & edited on iPhone 4.

iMovie on The Original iPad

When I heard that Apple finally release iMovie for iPad I was so freakin excited.
Then officially they ditch the compatibility for the original iPad. I was like... "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" (doing Anakin's scream for Padme - btw our iPad name is iPadme Amidala.)

So why does Apple ditch the original iPad from iMovie's love?

Jason Snell (Macworld):

I was able to install my sample copy on an original iPad and it seemed to work fine, though as projects got more complex it got a little sluggish. This may be one of those cases where Apple decided that if the product didn't worth smoothly and flawlessly on the original iPad, it wasn't worth supporting at all. (article link)

Sluggish? Really?
Trying to download the iMovie app to the original iPad, this is what I got:

Front facing camera? Really?

iTunes & AppStores are refusing to install the iMovie to my original iPad. This is pure evil!
Then I got this trick. The iMovie finally installed in my original iPad.

After import some footages from iPhone 4, then I begin to edit a short video.
Is it sluggish? Is it good?
It. Is. Beautiful!

iPhone 4 > Camera Connection Kit > iMovie on original iPad



It's only 30 seconds project but at least everything works relatively fine. Not snappy quicky perfect but everything is there. The audio waveforms are there. The scrubbing footages are there. The smooth transitions are there.
And best of all - been doing finger-editing on iMovie for iPhone for months - now I'm doing finger-editing on 10 inch screen!
It. Is. Beautiful!

iMovie isn't built for a long duration/complex/multi layered video editing project. It's only for fun, family video, video-blogging, online video. I think the original iPad is sufficient enough for that kind of task.

So again, why do you ditch original iPad from iMovie's love, Apple?
