@@SiHorrocks Thank you MM the film is only an idea in my head at the moment. I have the Samsung S10, the smooth 4 gimbal and a zoom H1n sound recorder with optional mikes, tripods and mono pole those are from my photography along with a little lighting and reflectors. It was the how to making a short film I was stuck on and now I've found your instructions giving me a little kick I needed. Subscribed, so thank you.

[@cruisingforone]

I’m definitely trying a 5 minute story.

[@SiHorrocks]

Yess

[@aperson4057]

Where could I find the films in this video?

[@SiHorrocks]

The Silent Eye series of short films shot on Samsung phones is on Amazon here: geni.us/LaeOy

[@breadpebbles2603]

can anyone recommend a tutorial where you replace something the person is holding with a gun

[@jordanselemani9860]

This video is the greatest encouragement for indie a filmmaker like me. I’m planing on shooting a short film with no budget. I managed to buy a gimbal and an anamorphic lenses but I have no money for the sound. I want to shoot using lavalier mic close to my actors for houseside shoot and use another iPhone mounted on a stick for indoor shoot What would you advise me ?

[@SiHorrocks]

Hi Jordan! sound is very important, especially if you have dialogue scenes. They say audiences will tolerate all kinds of visual quality, but if you have bad audio then no deal. Lav mics will be great, but they have to be clipped close to the mouth. I made 1 video about audio here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6XEZ3RoZcSpg8U

[@campbellfenegan]

incredible video

[@SiHorrocks]

thank you!

[@sravankumar7044]

Which smartphone was used?

[@dreamwevr]

Where can I find your short films to watch

[@SiHorrocks]

they're on amazon: geni.us/LaeOy

[@Amaris_flowers]

Do you have to have a certain copyrite or whatever it is called to protect your scripts and/or film to be plagiarized?

[@SiHorrocks]

depends on your country and that country's copyright laws. It's very difficult to stop ideas being copied, but you can fight in a court of law and see if your lawyers can prove that the copied version contains enough similarities to be classed a copy. As soon as you create something, in many countries the copyright is immediately yours. All you need to do is prove you created it before any potential plagiarist. You can spend money registering your script with various bodies online, but to be honest its very unlikely your work will get copied. Obviously, making a film of your script and placing it online is a good way to prove you wrote it

[@Amaris_flowers]

@@SiHorrocks Thank you so much. This whole video inspired me but I am so scared to start a film. This content was so helpful in many ways.

[@Rafi_Ibn_Islam]

[@SiHorrocks]

I use small portable external drives
