We all know that the camera inside most smartphones is capable of producing video content of almost professional quality. In all iPhones (and Android) the front facing camera (pointing away from you) is usually of significantly greater quality than the lens on the same side as the main screen.

There are a multitude of creative uses for this functionality, and I’ll leave that up to your imagination.
