The Future: ‘Condition One’ May Revolutionize Photo/Video Journalism, Reporting, & the Documentary/Indie Film Trade

What is it: Condition One is an iPad app that will be newly launched by the time you read this post. What we’ve learned from the trailer(listed below) is that you turn your iPad into a portable video camera. When viewing what you have filmed, you can swipe to see different angles during playback. From what we can tell Condition One personalizes the viewing experience through portable film making. It’s as if you have become the intrepid reporter behind enemy lines seeking out the story within. It blends photo journalism and reporting in interesting ways. That’s how we see it anyway. One top of all that, it’s free!

This app has quickly become the second reason we’d spend money on an iPad.

This new thing has obvious uses in defense and security. Hell, pick any high technology dystopian future, evil genius base or shady multinational corporate entity in fiction and you’ll see a fleet of these suckers.

But a Google+ user pointed out what should have been obvious from the get go. This hover drone could revolutionize certain aspects of filmmaking. We’re embarrassed the creative idea didn’t come to us before the hard practical uses.

Another thing that struck us about this machine is that the 1980s movie REAL GENIUS prophesied it about 26 years prior.

Friday Night Movies: THE VIDEO WEBSITE, MYSPACE: THE MOVIE(Remember That One?), FACEBOOK: THE MOVIE(The Other One)

Official-ish Synopsis

this parody, courtesy of Sketch Comedy group Prussian Sunsets, takes all those elements and reimagines them as a film about YouTube founders Chad Hurley, Steve Chen and Jawed Karim (Karim is missing from the parody, for some reason).

What We Learned:
Keyboard Cat is a demanding artiste.

When’s it coming?
It’s already here. It’s a parody trailer. Doesn’t make us wish any less that Prussian Sunsets would make the thing a reality.

Official site:
Prussian Sunsets. They do comedy videos on the Internets. Watch some, won’t you?
