[@GenXMindset]

Great freebies! That lens kit would be a great early Christmas present for me!!

[@DISCOVERASIA360]

Simple and clear thank. What about filming underwater (diving)

[@StuartEvans]

I'm hard pressed to pick the most useful tip, they're all great. I've been watching a lot of gimbal videos and none of them seemed to focus on the camera settings. I think the depth and composition tips will give me the most immediate help. Thanks for the video, I'll be rewatching often.

[@JatinRaval-e2m]

Amazing Master Class in the shortest time possible. Thank you for the video and teaching everything in great detail.

[@nurse.reef.repeatandsomuch1758]

It’s Amazing to learn what FPS does to quality of the video… keep it up!

[@riharihuriwai9522]

I'm just beginning my content creation adventure, by watching this video I've learnt that by following and mastering the guidelines for creating content with my iPhone pro Max I have the potential to create high-quality professional type video. Much appreciated 😎

[@alyswilliams8060]

As a professional photographer, I rarely use the camera on my iPhone. The most important thing I learned from this super useful video is that my iPhone is far more powerful for video than I thought it would be!

[@forbabygrl1]

I am a mature woman trying to master technology lol. I can't even explain how many videos I have watched to learn to record and all of that stuff. You are a really good teacher and explain things so simply. These people keep making videos to teach but yet they sound like they're teaching a person that already knows the technology and the lingo and what to do. It makes no sense! Thank you for your video and I will subscribe and hopefully keep learning lol. Keep up the good work!

[@docaly5604]

as a beginner, the impact of how you manually set the camera settings and not relying on auto mode really does make a huge difference in the quality of videos we take. Thank you!

[@angelopahery716]

You explained the ISO and Shutter speed really well. I knew these before but i never fully understood shutter speed and how both balances and affect exposure. Now, I know everything.

[@dilushaeshan]

Wow, this is such an insightful video! Loved how it breaks down practical tips for shooting high-quality videos using just an iPhone or Android. Perfect for beginners and aspiring filmmakers. Thanks for sharing! 🎥📱

[@Daoland-Everywhere]

You made me appreciate moving away from auto settings and return to the hassle of hand settings, and relying more on extra lenses

[@chrisrussell1242]

One thing I've learned is, anyone can take a phone and record a video but if you want to stand out , attention to detail is key. Great video as always. Thank you

[@7jga777]

I’m a 14 day filmmaker student so I’ve learned all of this already I’m just here brushing up on everything. Best mentor ever 🙌.

[@JuanPerez-sh3fm]

How was the class?

[@7jga777]

@ dude his course is honestly the best there is. Not just because he covers everything but because he explains things in a way and at a pace that’s just makes it easy to understand.

[@angelopahery716]

Is it worth it? I mean, he teaches a lot for free on the channel ​@7jga777

[@violetevaja]

Completely agree. i'm doing the same,

[@LaFetelierLLC]

I have a small business and i'm trying to take product photos and videos for reels on social media. This video has helped me understand certain settings and terminologies (the basic foundations) which is super helpful in understanding why certain settings matter and why we tweak them. This is super helpful!

[@jeffnillenlawal8548]

The most important thing i learnt is to start with the gear i have now, which happens to be my smartphone, and with this video bookmarked, the journey begins.

[@naturalwitchery]

YAY! I’ve been wanting this video since I got my iPhone 16. EXCELLENT VIDEO! My big takeaway was finally understanding shutter speed and what it does for my videos by adjusting it for different effects!❤

[@basheerzaghloolz9592]

As a professional filmmaker and I really love mobile filmmaking what I have learned from this video is to stop complaining about gear thanks dude

[@goharyesayan1071]

So happy I found your channel. I’m a new abstract artist and have been planning to start a KZbin channel for my art creations. I was procrastinating it because I had to learn so much to get it going. Today I started watching some KZbin videos and eventually was guided to your channel….ahhh so happy I found you. I’m going to sign up for your 14 day course and start recording soon! So much good information and simple to understand. Thank you for inspiring me on my new journey! As the saying goes “ when the student is ready, the teacher appears” or in this case “ when the teacher appears, the student is ready” haha ❤😁 Blessed and Grateful!

[@NikkoSparks]

I've been a student of 14-day filmmaker for over 4 years now. And I love that in this video you go over how you can utilize the phone that you have in your hand to make really great KZbin and cinematic commercial videos. I still get tripped up on the Shutter speed and ISO But this video was very important on how it works

[@robbchristensen1151]

So glad that I came across and subscribed to your channel a few months back. You have the ability to covey information in a straight forward manner that's easy to comprehend. Based on this video I'm taking a leap of faith and purchased your 14 day film making course, I've spent too much time going down the KZbin rabbit hole buying equipment that sits on the shelf and never gets used in hopes of becoming a content creator. I need to learn to use what I have first and the process and get the feeling this will be the first purchase that will get me going down the path of where I want to be. You project a sense or honesty and while the nature of why some people create is to earn a living I don't get the feeling I'm being hustled when I watch any of you videos, you content sells itself. Thank you to you and your group for creating such great content.

[@darrancowling5797]

I am halfway through the 14 day course and loving it. I have learned so much and am loving every minute. The iPhone is pretty powerful in the right hands. Great work Anthony, I wish you every success 🎉

[@SOLO3Enterprises]

The breakdown of the different lenses and use case scenarios for each one is amazing!! That blur depth is what I’ve been wanting with my phone and this video really helped on that!

[@AnthonyHuttley]

Had no idea about the codec info! But actually all this info is massive for me. Been chewing my way through all the other vids on your channel too. Trying to up my content game, so thanks so much!

[@MrPaulXavier]

Glad I could help!

[@dekharper]

Just turned 61 and bought a iphone 16 pro max to shoot video for my first ever youtube channel for my first ever business i setup. This video was an awesome primer on creating content using the new toy and excited to get going, cheers

[@MrPaulXavier]

Best of luck to you! Thanks for watching

[@SRT8Dave6.1]

Thank you for your breakdowns on the how to's and don't do's. I'm in my beginner's phase on how to make good quality videos on my journey to making content. Camera app choice and how to properly use the settings was my biggest take away that I will be implementing asap. Stay blessed and keep on rocking out with your content and very helpful information, it's greatly appreciated 💪🏽

[@LinguisticSynonym]

ISO and shutter speed. Those were the ones where I had the biggest AHA moments. Your videos have generally helped me - be it recording on my phone or using software, like DaVinci Resolve or CapCut. I keep recommending your channel as well because of the easy step-by-step format. 👍🏻

[@abdulhameedgiwa6131]

I stumbled upon your page 6 months ago when i wasn't really sure about how to kickstart my videography and video editing journey. After watching the video on mastering smartphone filmmaking for 20 minutes, i had hopes and insight on where to begin. I have ever since taken steps in creating, co-creating contents and edit videos on my own. My name is Hameed, from Nigeria. While i am unable to purchase the 14 days masterclass atm, i have learnt a lot about smartphone filmmaking from the first video and it felt good to see yet another improved video. I`ve always made use of my iPhone 13 camera but i learnt in this video the use of the Blackmagic camera and i cant wait to utilize it. Thank you.

[@lionelgarcia2386]

Wow! I just stumbled on this presentation. I was searching for someone speaking about settings for iPhone external lenses. I watched two that were of little help. Then just thought to scroll down the page in search of something relevant. Again, wow! I spent most of my viewing time stopping the video and manipulating the settings on the Blackmagic app that I downloaded. I certainly garnered knowledge about video recording, and photography that I didn’t know. I see you offer a 14-day course. I am certainly jumping on that. You were the first I have found to provide such in depth information in such a short amount of time. I am looking forward to continued learning. I have an iPhone 14 Pro, and a Fuji X-30. I need to master the use of both. 👏

[@JordanAshley-cj5pu]

The best things I learned were the simple settings and easy fixes for different lighting scenarios that were driving me nuts before and nearly lead me to give up. Things I thought were huge problems were actually super simple... so thanks a lot! I feel like I can actually get back into it now! I'm really thankful for all your amazing videos!

[@stefanie.carpentier]

I normally don't really comment on youtube video's but it's insane how much free knowledge you provide! I'm currently binge watching your channel, so glad i found it! I was thinking about buying the osmo pocket 3 but this video made me realize i might not need a new camera, my iphone 14 Pro is probably enough with the right settings/apps/add-ons!

[@MrPaulXavier]

The 14 pro is incredible! And thank you for the kind words 💪🏻🔥

[@PALUMA_switzerland]

I'm absolutely thrilled with the value of this video, and I’ve finally found something that genuinely helps me move forward, thanks to your content. I’ve been wanting to start my own business/brand but could never figure out where to begin or how to handle video editing, among other things. You’re opening my eyes! THANK YOU for that! So well explained-where have you been all these years? - greetings from switzerland

[@LeonardTech]

It's amazing to see everything take shape from scratch! I really enjoyed being with you during the creative process. You have done a lot of work and attention to detail. The chosen settings are excellent and perfectly complement the atmosphere. I can't wait to see other projects of yours!

[@conradtheart1715]

What I've leaned most is exposure settings and what causes graininess. Currently reviewing the settings section and making notes. Looking forward to purchasing your course at the end of the month.

[@oluwatosin7478]

I'm on a pretty tight budget and I don't have access to a high end mobile phone or a professional camera, but this video has taught me and helped me to realize that I can actually do much more than I thought I could with the things that I do have access to!

[@althea1462]

Your description of camera settings was so helpful, but the three questions to ask yourself about lighting is something I’m going to use every time I film - THANK you.

[@SteveNavarrete]

Dude, I learened more from your video, than I have the last year of trying to get better. Incredible job on explaining the why and the how! Thanks man!

[@Coop0229]

Literally mind blown with all the iso information. I’ve always hated the blow out of the videos and this solves so much for me!

[@danieldalaota]

Just got my iphone 16 pro max a week ago and I was itching to make an occasional video diary using my phone. As a beginner in filmmaking, I learned every concept in film making in this short of a video. I struggled on exposure, iso, and shutter speed before that it produces either a very exposed or grainy videos. After I saw your video, Im able to confidently say my video clips are improved. Thank you for this.

[@waynepalmer1993]

After a long career in the tech space I recently decided to retire early. I’m planning on starting my KZbin journey and have been looking for a channel that explains how to best utilize my phone as a tool for videography and photography. This is it! Great to be here, this is the perfect video and will look into your course. Great work!

[@mariano4i6]

Super clear and concise information. No fluff, all gold. But the best part for me was the compression and codec explanation. Well done, thank you!

[@1000GRAUZ]

Exactly

[@brandcosaif]

I've always struggled to understand ISO and shutter speed, but you're the first person who explained it in a way that finally made sense. Thank you!

[@ryanbrock5615]

I'm beginning my journey to creating training videos for my current employer and have never really had to shoot professional videos. Your explanation of the settings for the BlackMagic app was very helpful for me, especially the need for sunglasses for my iPhone as most of my videos will be outside.

[@thisismadisonyes]

I just started filming stuff for work and your videos are a lifesaver. Thank you so much, you're a STAR!

[@Ma-me1bb]

I'm new to content creation, and your video on mastering the iPhone really helped me out! You explained many settings that I hadn’t even noticed before. It was nicely put together and easy to follow

[@MrPaulXavier]

Awesome, I'm glad you found it useful!

[@MartineCallaghan]

I can’t thank you enough for this video. You have explained everything from A to Z in a clear and concise way with demonstrations, recommendations and examples. You are a fantastic teacher and I feel confident that I will be able to implement this advice in my first video.😊

[@mikebincorporated]

59 years old just entering the arena of content creation I have learned through this video the true power of my iPhone 13 Pro max and how I can use it to deliver the content I most certainly will be creating going forward... Many Thanks from the UK

[@Kareem-M-Ali]

Wow! There was a lot to learn in this video, but the most useful thing I got from this video is lighting, especially when considering that I'm filming on an iPhone8+ from 2017!!! Thank you a lot! You are helping me in pursuing my dream of becoming a KZbinr.

[@amc123ag]

I took your online training and I have been a subscriber every since. The camera settings is what I got the most out of this video.

[@eesyuentoh6374]

I love that your videos are always full of tips and more importantly, the tiny details that amateurs like me will miss, eg locking the settings. You dont hold back, and give actionable steps, and that's what i and I'm sure others appreciate. Thank you.

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thank you for watching!

[@busayoatoro1303]

This is actually good. I decided to start creating today and found a couple of your videos helpful. This is my favourite so far because I can use my current phone without switching yet.

[@BarfussR]

Iso and shutter speed finally made sense to me! With this kind of clear and precise content I consider taking your course.

[@igorstrycek4936]

I am truly impressed. This video beautifully explains the use of FPS to achieve slow motion, and finally, someone who simply and clearly explains ISO and Shutter Speed.

[@antoniosimbine8362]

Your videos gave me inspiration to start something that has been sleeping for almost 15 years... thank you Anthony... Much appreciated.

[@mariechmura7867]

Before watching this video, I used to randomly tweak my video settings, hoping for the best. This guide completely changed that for me! The concise, step-by-step instructions make it easy to understand how to properly adjust video settings, and the clear explanations of how these changes can dramatically improve video quality are genuinely eye-opening. I really appreciate how well this video combines practicality with convincing insights-it’s a must-watch for anyone looking to take their video quality to the next level!

[@tevincadette7159]

After watching this video, I finally gained a deeper understanding of lighting techniques that had eluded me for so long. The explanations clarified concepts I struggled with, making everything click. I'm eager to experiment with what I've learned!

[@_bruno.pereira]

The lighting... the lighting is the actual thing I'm getting to see a lot of improvement from your content, and actually with this video. Thank you, man.

[@leilanefallace]

I’ve always thought these camera settings stuff (iso, shutter speed etc.) were such a hard thing to learn, and yet you made it all so easy to understand! Dunno if you’re aware but you’re not only talented at video/photography, but you’re really talented at teaching as well! You’re my No 1 creator for learning about iPhone filmmaking, really tysm!

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thank you for writing this!! ❤️🙏🏻

[@new2guitarplay96]

The #1 thing that I learned from this video is that I should probably think about upgrading my phone! Great videos as always! I have almost finished the 14 filmmaker course and will soon begin to shop for an entry level camera too!

[@karilon9720]

Learning about Frame rate is absolutely mind blowing for me. I gave me a throwback feel of when my lecturer taught about how video technology evolved from motion pictures. It finally made sense. Thank you for this. All the settings picked my mind and balanced a lot of things that were going over my head during the cinematography module back in school. Learnt a lot. 🇳🇬

[@AW-ws1ll]

Loved how you explained so easily on the shutter locks and 24fps!

[@mcalfredtabi9296]

Am from Ghana 🇬🇭, and I got inspired to start my film making career when I started seeing you videos that I can just start with my phone.. Thanks a lot

[@zAdderly]

To pick one thing I learned out of so many. I’d just say I clearly knew very little of how filmmaking work. Thank you.

[@talent2437]

This is absolutely a masterclass refinement video tutorials within 20 Minutes. I have learnt alot and you gave me a blueprint to sign up for your class and most importantly to be a content creator. Thank buddy.

[@mtspace67]

Simply put, the whole process is a game changer for me. I enrolled in the 14 day course and have learnt so much. Great job Anthony and co. Thanks!

[@lolojavi5321]

I’m a bit older and just starting out so your video was very informative to me. It will help me make more quality videos for both personal use and social media. I know when looking at a video whether it’s high quality or not but I’m surprised with just a few adjustments with my basic iphone I could record more professional quality videos. Thank you ❤

[@TimoDominiqueGauler]

Hi Anthony, number One Thing learned & understood properly right away through your examples is Shutter Speed & the reason why filming subjects from the shadow side looks much nicer. Thanks you for this highly educative video!

[@m.ieazidigitalacademy8971]

This is not just engaging, but very insightful... I was able to understand the importance and role of each camera quality like the Iso, frame rate, composition of light, resolution, codec rate etc. It's effect either in moderation or overused in my videos. I also found a lot of answers to why my videos are overexposed or this noise grain I get when I shoot on 2X. I was also completely sold out on the effect of filters on my smartphone .

[@shivaaslanpoordpt2051]

This video made me more confident to do my content recordings. I have been struggling with setting the right light and recording a good-quality video. I’m glad that I came across this video. Thank you

[@wardsworldwelcometoit]

Lots to process as I get back into filming, the "best settings" was very educational, I look forward to going through it all again until it becomes natural! GREAT content! 👊🏼👍🏼

[@Cas-o2t]

Thanks for putting this video together, I was really lost and overwhelmed when it comes to phone film making.

[@Tomei4Life]

I've taken my iPhone for granted and had no idea how changing the settings could result in better videos. Plus taking more short clips versus long ones was a great tip.

[@adilkhan.orazkhan]

The best thing that I learned from this video is how crucial the light is. That’s the main thing that I was not understanding at all, thank you very much for providing us with this information.

[@krzysztofkarnicki3035]

I've been doing professional VFX and video postproduction for over 25 years now. The most important thing I learned here is that even more complicated terms, for most people, can be explained digestibly with well-thought-out examples and good illustrations without sacrificing a brisk pace. Thanks!

[@mikefernandez5353]

Looking to start shooting videos. Very scary but your video encouraged me not to worry about expensive camera. 55 yrs old on disability looking to pivot life. Thank you for all your wisdom. Gaining courage. Keep doing what you’re doing. Much appreciated by all.

[@TheDelcho]

From this video, I learned so much about video shooting, including exposure and settings like shutter speed and ISO. In the meantime, I want to thank you because your videos inspired me to start trying to film and edit videos, and your advice on equipment has been invaluable. THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🙌

[@Southernvermontdrone]

What I have learned/realized, is that I think I can do serious content creation, or at least what I think is serious content creation. I think about doing some interesting videos, but I never really knew what it really involves. Just this video alone has given me the motivation to try different locations, learning how to make a video in that location interesting to myself and the viewer. I will likely be signing up for your 14 day Filmmaking course iPhone edition. Thank you so much Anthony for helping me to enter the next chapter of my life (I’m just about at my retirement age). It definitely will open doors for me!!

[@GrasmanisToms]

Hello, Im already filming videos for my company advertising almost for 2 years without any bigger skills. Now im looking for all information what you share becaue i want to get better. Big Thanks for your job! So far so good! :)

[@carolinamc]

Your content as usual is amazing. I’m a 14 day filmmaker student and I always find your content to be pleasant and very informative. This is a great refresher specially now that I’m gearing up to create my own content for my new business.

[@markohreljac9714]

You are pretty god damn good, I am just starting with filming, editing, etc… mainly for social media content and marketing. I’ve just realized when I tried this out, how simple it is to get a 1000x better result when you explain it in such a good way. I think I will get into your course, but for now I know everything I need to start learning and getting the skill and ideas. Thank you very much man, you don’t know how much you’ve helped me, and if I am a lucky winner, I will put them lenses in a good use😂❤️💪🏻

[@cieulien]

Wow, i learned so much that it’s hard to pinpoint one item - what shines is the ‘shooting with purpose segment. Thank you for an in depth yet quick focus on all of the most important points to shooting better videos!

[@GotDesign01]

I appreciate learning the settings. I'm a broadcaster who has been away from video production for a number of years and this information helps me get back into the game.

[@unniolsen681]

I have always found ISO and shutter speed difficult to understand. You are the first one who has managed to make me understand in a simple way. Thank U 🙏

[@okoliruth6208]

This is very insightful. I appreciate how you elaborated on the camera settings needed for perfect filming and discussed how third-party lenses can enhance the quality of your videos and increase versatility, especially the VND -the sunglasses filter kind of lens😍😍

[@AUS-BeMyBestNow]

I am starting up a KZbin channel soon and I honestly believe that everything in this video is the best thing I learnt. If I had to narrow it down to just one I would have to define it as the Black Magic app. Thanks so much for this informative video and I can't wait to see what other content you are providing. I am excited.

[@jjowdhc31]

Love how everything is broken down into manageable chunks. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge.

[@giannistzorbatzakis5452]

I've been really getting into photography and videography lately and these videos help so much, thank you. The lighting part definitely was the most surprising and helpful, so I am totally going to be doing more research around that topic!

[@maryeveylon]

I’m just getting started and am playing around with filters and lenses. I just popped outside to use the .5 lens in bright light and holy moly!! So that’s today’s most important learning : )

[@monkeyseemonkeydodo2]

I liked everything in your video. Taking pictures or videos is scary not knowing if you are using the camera correctly. You made it so easy. Thank you ❤

[@geri_hu]

Hello Anthony, For me, the tutorial on setting up lights and shadows was really helpful. I wouldn’t have thought that even just photographing from the shadowed side of a face could make such a big difference in the result. Thank you for your work, and I wish you all the best!

[@emdomingo8398]

I love see the beauty of everything from people’s emotions, to nature, to food and all and the only way not to miss that is to have it on video. I am very new to this video making that even FPS I don’t know but now I know now.There’s a lot to learn capturing the beauty of everything. Thank you for your video and I am also 14 day film maker student and just started last night,excited to take my next step and the knowledge and learnings to be unpack. Blessings!

[@rahuljoshi-hq1ii]

Hi, I really enjoyed this video! The most important thing I learned, and what really amazed me, is how different phone camera lenses have different sensor sizes, and how that affects the video quality. This is going to help me shoot better videos next time! I also liked how you explained lighting. I didn’t realize how much the direction of light and the position of the camera can change how a video looks. Thank you so much for this video-it felt like I watched a paid webinar!

[@chris12180]

I really love the breakdown of different lenses and how they work as well as shutter speed

[@DabblersJourney]

I started shooting a few shots of my first YT video with my iPhone today, and the white balance was all over the place. It didn't even occur to me to seek a 3rd party app for manual setting control. Definitely downloading Black Magic now. Thank you for the rec!

[@saf2543]

The number thing I've learned about this video is how exposure can affect the quality of a video. I'm totally enlightened. Cheers man!

[@vad8712]

AWESOME video!! I have played around with video settings for years amateurishly, this video was concise, easy to follow and had a lot of excellent info!! The number one thing I learned from this video was the shutter speed, I've always filmed in 4k 60 assuming the higher rate assured me a better quality video, I had no idea it was more about using slow-mo!!

[@lila44411]

I watched the original video you guys did on this subject 2 years ago and this one was so much more comprehensive and helpful. I think the 2 variables that helped me the most were how to determine the best frame rate and then doubling that to get the optimal shutter speed, as well as the different file settings to save your videos as. Thank you very much for the video, this was really helpful since my S23 Ultra is the camera for my channel.

[@iskandarwibisono9249]

i just amazed about how you teach me about depth, it’s makes me realize that i need to set up my studio better to get the shots more interesting, thanks

[@MountainMadeFabShop]

The number one thing I learned from this video is how to and what setting to change in my iPhone!! I have been using the auto settings and getting bad results. I can’t wait to go video today trying these settings. I hope these tips will help my videos in the shop look better!

[@rodesia2]

I’ve been living in a limited bubble. All seem overwhelming. Watching your video has turned on all sort of lightbulbs. The manner in which you explain each detail gives me the sense of, “I can do this”. Thank you for speaking in a language that we all can understand.

[@MrSparky082]

From external camera apps to extra lenses for my camera phone. I’ve learned a real lot. Thank you so much

[@filmmakingandrej]

I really enjoyed watching this video. I am very interested in film and video making and the most important thing I learned from this video is how powerful my iPhone can actually be while filming. The camera settings really improved my videos, so that's what I find really interesting. I love your content!!!! 🙌

[@rajabhisheksingh3944]

I'm an aspiring filmmaker and this video helped me learn a lot about the camera settings. I believe this point onwards my videos won't look jittery. All thanks to this awesome video.

[@MartinLeungWai]

The number one thing I learned from this video is category 4: lighting. The lighting makes a difference in the camera shot compared to all the camera settings. Thanks Anthony for your content. Very valuable for a beginner filmmaker.
