Movie shot entirely with an iPhone gets US theatre release

The movie Tangerine, which was a hit at Sundance Film Festival, will be making its way to theatres in the US this July. What's unique about the film is how it was shot. It was made entirely with an iPhone 5s and Filmic Pro app. It received rave reviews after its debut in Sundance. A lot of other movies have already been shot using the Apple device but this was the first one to premiere at the festival. If things go well with its release, this could open the door for more iPhone-shot films.

Review: Papago's GoSafe 520 Dash Cam

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Dashboard cameras have become a popular accessory and security feature for drivers who want to have video proof in the event of an accident or help ward off would-be car thieves or vandals.

The variety of dash cams in the market range from cheap, low-resolution models that might simply be videocameras designed to be mounted on a windshield. While these serve to capture video, they lack clarity and have limited range.
