Curious about the benefits of using an iPad Pro 11 inch for directing a video?
We're always looking for tech (and the occasional life hack) that can lead to increased efficiency in the video production world. I mean, we're busy - so anything that can save time in pre-production, on set, and even ramp up productivity - we're game.
Pixel Planet launched a new YouTube series that highlights various facets of video production and post-production, some tips, maybe a few tricks, definitely some tech, and most likely dinosaurs. It's called - Pixel Bytes. Get pumped.
This first Pixel Byte episode highlights why Director Anthony Carabotta pretty much exclusively uses his Apple iPad Pro for directing these days.

If you're having a TL;DW kind-of-day, no judgement here.
The answer is - yes. There are benefits to using the Apple iPad Pro on production days instead of that clunky laptop. Anthony's top reasons:
the iPad Pro is lightweight & portable
it's a great reference guide (like carrying around a stack of encyclopedias)
all of your documents are ready for use (scripts, shot lists, emails, etc.)
apps & more apps
it's a super handy sales tool (show a gallery of recent work)
