MASTER Smartphone Videography: BEGINNER to ADVANCED Tutorial

[@erikpreston2393]

Joining your Patreon has been delightful. I'm so glad that I stumbled across your channel. Alas, the only drawback has been lack of sleep after poring over all of the helpful tomes you've created. A Question: Given all that you know, and given the characteristics of the Iphone Pro (I have a 14 Pro) -- what would be your "default" settings in Filmic Pro, as well as Native? I've run up against a total beast of a workflow with Dolby HDR enabled when trying to replicate the look once I get into a Premiere Timeline. Add to that pain trying to clip match when bringing in other footage (say, Rec 709) and trying to make something seamless. Would you recommend filming in a Flat profile as a default, 10bit, Filmic Extreme, as a default method if the majority of my content will be filmed on my Iphone? I have a DJI OSMO 6 and Filmic integrates with it. But I like the Cinematic Mode of the Iphone for its Depth of Field for Static Interview Situations. I can't select a flat profile on the Native Phone App. It would seem to make sense to not shoot in HDR, but 4K/24 (maybe PRO RES?) Trying to work smart on settings to forgo any surprises in Premiere... Last, do you have the ability to take additional tips beyond your $5 Patreon, or "up" the level of giving that one might do? I'd like to give a more "tangible" form of a thank you -- you are truly a master craftsman.

hi Erik and welcome to my Patreon! Glad you find it useful I will answer your questions via Patreon so look out for a PM

I can listen to your voice all the day. Theres a calmness and soothing vibe in your voice. It remembers me of peaceful national geographic videos narrated by David Attenborough.

[@Itsnicolegold]

I was thinking the same such a calming voice and very similar to DA ❤

[@musicianonfire2257]

I always love the depth of detail you use in these types of videos.. my smartphone videography has definitely improved 10x since I started watching your channel!. Thank you for quality content.

[@KhawabNama-Islamic]

This is true

[@BrianGlaze]

This is the only video that I've found that truly breaks down smartphone videography.

[@Deaddbunny22]

It's just amazing how precise and simple your teaching is! It's so lovely and easy to follow along!

[@theeccentricenglishman4953]

Oh, Simon, I have found someone who does not speak at 180wpm and is relaxed about the presentation. It is so much easier to watch and absorb. I will start my trawl of your smartphone videos with a smile on my face. Thank you. PS -Don't chase my channel it is in its very early stages of development

[@LucienHughes]

Great video! Minor nitpick though, the point made 30:38 is actually a common misconception. "Zooming in" on a photo or "zooming in" with a telephoto lens are physically identical. You can simulate a telephoto lens by cropping a wider shot (in fact most smartphone "telephoto" lenses do exactly this), all you lose is optical clarity and resolution. The only way you can change the amount of optical compression in the frame is by moving closer or further away from the subject, hence the effect shown in the video.

[@BudgetFilmmaking]

I really do appreciate your content. I'm a Mobile Filmmaker, and videos like yours help to improve the look and feel of my short films. Thanks for another very useful video.

[@FilmSpook]

Cool channel, man! Fellow filmmaker to support you, just subscribed! 👍🏾

[@BudgetFilmmaking]

[@petersherwood3808]

Thank you for your excellent teaching. I am working my way through your KZbin videos, whilst reluctant to complain about others in this space Your style fits my learning style and I have very little to offer in term of improvement. Well done amd please continue.

[@digitalgenre7194]

I saw this tutorial before but never watched because I am not interested on smartphone videography. I turns out it was the best video making tutorial I have ever watched. very informative regardless you shoot with smartphone or not. I am a photographer transitioning to hybrid shooter. I loved it.

[@blutey]

Thanks for these videos. Even though they're aimed at smartphones, the information is applicable to normal digital cameras as well.

[@susmitap1203]

This is the 1st time I have come across your video...5 min watching your content and I am 100% sure I learned more than ever. I am a lifer on your channel now hopefully!

[@SiHorrocks]

Thank you and welcome!

[@espadasensei]

Thank you very much for this amazing effort. Most complete and comprehensive video explaining all vidoegraphy basics.

[@MATHEMATICSwithSHAHABYAKOOB]

The first couple of minutes possesses the viewer. Beautiful explanation 💫

[@wilterjohn1627]

this video was long but every minute watching it was worth it. I'm not a mobile videographer or filmaker. I just want my shots to look good, if not better. thank you so much for addressing topics some other channel may have skipped or omitted. More power to you and your channel!

[@kryzzmaryandig2351]

A very informative and comprehensive video. This helped me in improving my videography skills.

[@naturallovekinks2554]

[@dennscothbusinnessadvisors]

Brilliantly explained. We need people like you with us.

[@tbonemicelli9051]

Thank you very much for this course. Getting ready to start my second short film and will be doing it with my iPhone. You explain everything so clearly. Great, great work.

[@davidalderson7761]

Learned something in 40 Seconds in this video. I had no idea you could swipe exposure while in video record mode. I just bought you could tap an area. RTFM or what. Thanks a lot.

[@dja-rox5345]

This video is great! I'd like to add that if you're super unsure and don't even want your friends to know then just join a group in another country! You'll feel pretty confident knowing that no one could possibly ever know you. 😂

[@lukedodge2754]

I got more value outta this video than I hoped for...thank you!

[@MsLashun]

Wow! This is very informative. OAN, you should do bedtimes stories on the Calm app lol! Your voice is so soothing!

[@TheDobermanGuy]

Thanks for your videos! Really great! Smartphones are getting better and better but it’s how we use them that counts the most!

[@SiHorrocks]

yesss

[@TheDobermanGuy]

@@SiHorrocks btw did you already compared ProRES results between native camera and filmic pro on iPhone 13?

[@SiHorrocks]

@@TheDobermanGuy don't have an iPhone 13 yet 😕

[@TheDobermanGuy]

@@SiHorrocks ah ok. :) I thought you were already testing it. Probably it has some nice capabilities with 4:2:2 ProRES. Everyone is testing the “cinematic” thing but I think that the real big thing is the ProRES.

[@Followersoftruth_zm]

Here for the first time, feels like I'll be here for a while😂❤ Love the way you disclose off information like a holistic teacher 😂

[@barrydrocknrail2231]

I didn't know I could quickly adjust the the exposure on my Huawei P20 Pro just by sliding a finger, but just tried it and it works. I only knew how to lock the exposure/focus. Great video!

[@RidersUnited]

I am new to your channel and cant thank you enough for all these great tips. I love it. I have my own channel one year old only and still try to learn about videography and this is priceless info. Recently I switched from gopro 9 to iphone 13pro and watching your videos helps a LOT. Thank you sir!!!

The single best video on KZbin for smartphone information. Great tutorial 👍🏻 thankyou

[@muanavanchhawng6074]

Thankyou for clear define

[@kgramaprasad822]

Sir fortunate to see your worth seeing video . Another question which keeps annoying is which mobile has better camera technically. If I get answer from you I feel lucky. Thank you.

[@aslansmountain1447]

Sooo helpful. Thank you. Noone else comes close

[@Leeroyz1]

Once again Simon, another amazing KZbin video! I thoroughly enjoy your videos! I’m a beginner and have just bought myself a Dji OM 4 SE gimbal and I’m constantly watching and replaying your videos to get practice and inspiration. Keep up the fantastic work! I’m always looking forward to more videos from you. Do you have any videos on how to set up good microphone set ups on your gimbal with your iPhone? Thanks

[@SiHorrocks]

I don't use a mic attached to the phone, I prefer to use my Rode Wireless GO II and record audio separately. Otherwise the cable will restrict the gimbal

[@physiotherapyinsider6468]

This is great! 👍👍👍

[@Priyadarshan_Nag]

[@Paul1962]

Great video. Could you do a video more about the beginner to pro section? I am not a beginner, but I struggle in this area. While on holiday, we went to a Japanese garden, and it was wow, I need to get some video of this. So you are not prepared, it's a spur-of-the-moment thing, and one goes into meltdown. I try to get a selection of wide, medium and close-up shots, but I can't connect it all together in the edit. I can't seem to get the shoot for the edit concept unless I have loads of time to pre-plan. But when on holiday, you don't get that time; it's "I need to get this on video now"! (my partner doesn't want to spend several hours on a film set) A video on such a scenario would be a godsend. Thanks.

[@elstifo]

[@Msjt888]

Love to see you review the new pixel 6 pro for filming. My main concern is how it'll post on IG, but I'm so curious how the phone does for filming cinematic shots.

Please tell what microphone are you using in this video. That is seriously one of the best sounding voices in a KZbin video that I've heard. I know you've listed equipment in the description but if you can tell what exact microphone you used while recording and sitting, that would be very helpful. And Thank you for this very informative video. I have subscribed your channel. 👏🙏

I have been using the newest and most advanced DSLR cameras for more than ten years. I have always disregarded the capabilities of the iPhone camera. However, I am now open to exploring new options and would appreciate some suggestions on how to create the ideal travel setup using an iPhone 13 mini. I am considering adding a lens, ND filter, and possibly a gimbal. Could you kindly provide me with some recommendations? P.S. I am a big fan of your videos and have been watching them non-stop!
