[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Check out this amazing video that was just featured on TUAW that was filmed from inside a guitar. The video was made by a guitarist (justkylevids on YouTube) who was wondering what it would be like to be inside a guitar while someone was playing it. Not being small enough to crawl inside his guitar and find out himself, the guitarist instead decided to drop his iPhone 4 into the guitar with the camera rolling, so that he could film what happened when he played. Watch and enjoy as the iPhone 4’s rolling shutter effect produces some fascinating results when the strings are plucked, making it look as though they are oscillating much more than they would do in reality. The video maker says that the iPhone 4’s front-facing camera was used to record the strings, but adds that the rear camera might be even better. Here are a couple of his pointers if you want to try this yourself at home: [/FONT]


  • "You must have the strings brightly backlit to get the camera to capture at such a high frame rate (pure conjecture). You can see how the effect fades when the buildings come into view.
  • Use a pencil"
