i(Pad) of the Tiger

This is great! Photographer Jordan Hollender and musician Scott Harris put together this music video that covers Survivor's classic anthem and uses only iPad apps as instruments. The video itself was recorded with a couple of Canon HDSLR video cameras, but as you can see in the embedded version above, all of the music is created with iPad apps. Unfortunately, they don't identify the apps used, but that sounds like a great job for you TUAW commenters. I think I saw Pianolo HD being played on the floor there, and Pocket Drums is being used as percussion, but I couldn't find the guitar app or the DJ app that they are using.

Of course, what I really want to know is where he got that sweet lightning bolt iPad strap. The video's great, though. Apparently it was all lit in one day and shot in another. There's no word on how long it took to make the song, but with the iPad involved, it was probably both magical and revolutionary.

(Thanks, Rachel!)

It's "the thrill of the fight" not "the cream." And don't show me the first result in your Google search for the lyrics either because it's wrong. Try listening to the song!

It looked like the guitar app he was playing was Guitarist by moocowmusic.com.

It's a fun app, but a bit of a learning curve. The effect pedals make a mean sound.

Vimeo's own page is HTML5-friendly. But while MobileSafari recognizes YouTube Flash embeds and transforms them to work on the iPad, it doesn't do the same with Vimeo ones. Going to the page directly will work fine on the iPad

For all those insisting on complaining about the embed not working on iPad/iPhone. Vimeo has yet to to fix proper embedding. Why is everyone so quick to find fault with TUAW?

The video can be viewed on iPad from Vimeo's site just not as an embed.

Perhaps if they provided a link to the Vimeo page it would not be such a big deal.
