Collection of Video Interviews With Steve Jobs Available to Download via iTunes


All Things Digital has made all the Steve Jobs interviews from its previous conferences downloadable as video podcasts from iTunes.

There’s lots of video of the late Steve Jobs, primarily from his famous introductions of Apple products over the years, and his oft-quoted Stanford commencement address. But, by far, the largest trove of video of the legendary innovator candidly answering unrehearsed questions and explaining his views on technology and business comes from his six lengthy appearances at our D: All Things Digital Conference, from 2003 to 2010. As a memorial to a great man, and, in the spirit of sharing a priceless piece of history, we are making all six of these appearances available free, in high quality. We thank Apple for its cooperation in making these videos available for all.

You can get the video podcasts from this link.

New iPad Video Camera Tested With Prototype Padcaster Rig {Video}

Josh Apter & Peter Olsen from peteandjoshmakemovies have posted a video shot with the new iPad and a custom designed video rig called ‘The Padcaster’.

Completely by accident, I began shooting, cutting & distributing interviews with the iPad 2 at a convention I attended in Las Vegas last year. Since then, I’ve been working on a simplified video rig for the iPad. I figured even with the crappy camera in the iPad 2, it was still worth it as an all-in-one interview machine. I called the little movies “Padumantaries” and dubbed the rig, “The Padcaster.” Needless to say I am overjoyed at what Apple unveiled a little over a week ago.

And this is what Pete and I shot on the iPad 3 with the latest “Padcaster” prototype, a 35mm lens adapter and some other goodies too. A little test on the first day of Spring and some good news for people like us, who’ve been desperately trying to force video to look like film.

Check out the video to see the iPad 3 and the Padcaster in action. No further details on the video rig have been provided; however, you can check out the link for more information when it becomes available.
