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!

[@AlysWilliamsFineArt]

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!

[@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 😎

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@Youtuber-gm3id]

I came across this video while looking for the perfect DIY solution, and I have to say, it’s incredibly helpful and detailed! The step-by-step instructions were super easy to follow, and the visuals made it even more straightforward. I especially appreciated how clear the explanation was-no confusing jargon, just practical and actionable tips. It's evident a lot of thought and effort went into making this guide accessible to everyone. Highly recommend this for anyone considering trying out this kit! Can't wait to get my hands on it and start my project!

[@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!

[@0xggbrnr]

“Mature” lol

[@fenyx2558]

"mature" "forbabygrl1"

[@mariaalba3426]

Is that a bot 😅 ? "Mature woman"

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@vivianmaxwell6347]

I love how simply you explain complex things. I have just finally understood the importance of the YND filter and love how you relate it to sunglasses.

[@pengtroll6247]

This is literally the best video on this topic on all of youtube!!!

[@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.

[@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,

[@Viralclips-sc1rw]

Do u only have access to the course for 14days or do I get it for ever and can use it for longer the. 14 days

[@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

[@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! 🎥📱

[@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

[@ToluDavids]

This is awesome! I’ve been struggling to figure out how to start filming with my phone without needing a traditional professional camera, especially during challenging times. Finding this video has been such a blessing, and I know it will bring an amazing shift to my journey. Thank you for the detailed explanation and helpful suggestions. I truly believe in the phrase, ‘start with what you have.’ Our phones offer so many opportunities. we just need to recognize and use them!

[@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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@doctorslounge2068]

I didn't knew anything before watching this video. First time I understood these resolution, shutter speed, iso, white balance . Thank u so much.

[@Buckdphotos]

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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@judefilms4369]

I appreciate the way you explain the white balance. The simplest explanation I have ever come across.

[@edwinsng]

love how simple and concise this video is. just upgraded from 11 Pro Max to 16 Pro and I'm excited to start filming!

[@NKhurrami]

By far one of the most comprehensive videos about how to actually use an iPhone Camera!

[@B7sh]

This video is a great resource for anyone who wants to learn more about mobile filmmaking. It covers all the basics in an easy-to-understand way. I especially appreciated the tips on lighting and composition. I'm looking forward to trying out some of these techniques in my own videos.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!

[@manigma77]

This video makes me want to become a content creator. The composition part of this video is the most important to me because it teaches you not to just pull out your phone and shoot but to pay attention to your surroundings and make sense out of the shot you are trying to get.

[@courageebat1987]

I am a beginner content creator who get to know about your page from a video I learned everything new 😂from white balance to shutter speed to Iso and it was really helpful ❤❤

[@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.

[@chat-jpt]

I just finished the 14 day lesson and now run across this. I learned even more about Beastcam and where to find all the options. I also learned the true difference in the 3 lenses in the back of phone.

[@alexandermoursiotis1465]

Im a rookie photo/video solo shooter and what ive learned from this video is that creativity isnt necessarily restricted by gear a smartphone can be a great tool after all 😊

[@coredios_games]

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

[@cyrusolinger]

I like how you broke down what certain things mean like iso and shutter speed as opposed to "set it to this" and moving on.

[@ishpreetsingh5086]

i loved how you made different modes seem so simple! love it

[@TanvirAhmed-ur7zi]

I completed the 14-day filmmaker course back in 2022, and it was amazing! I learned a lot from the course, covering the basics of filmmaking such as frame rate, the appropriate frame rate for slow motion depending on the situation, lighting, editing, and much more. I loved it!

[@MrPaulXavier]

Thanks for the feedback, that's really awesome to hear!

[@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!! ❤️🙏🏻

[@AdamKhann-n]

Im Starting out in filmmaking on a budget and its a bit hard, but this video inspired me to see what’s possible with minimal gear. Thank you for showing that it doesn’t take expensive equipment just determination!

[@MrPaulXavier]

You can do it!

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@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!

[@MrSparky082]

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

[@yusufolayinka639]

The massive difference between soft light and hard light. Lighting is magical. Thank you for sharing.

[@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!

[@Aryan-lv9bv]

The number one thing I learnt from this video is importance of each camera present in a mobile phone and which one to use based on the best sensor present.

[@umarmoqtar3050]

I tried to understand for years about shutter speed, fps, bit rate and other stuff. But as soon i watch this video. I open my camera and try it. And i think i got it

[@thefuturist6579]

This is the most comprehensive video on youtube. i'm impressed!

[@rommelramoneda738]

The way the topic was presented is so easy to grasp. I love the explanation about frame rates.

[@MsBlue-el1fs]

As a current student of 14 day filmmaker, I watched this video to brush up on some basics. This video does a great job of summing up the essentials and the number one thing I've learned is that there is no fixed setting! You have to challenge yourself to shoot in a variety of settings to master the essentials such as lighting and camera settings.

[@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

[@aaniakhan]

I was struggling in between phone and DSLR for social media.. but I learned from ur video that you can use your phone as well to get amazing result

[@antoniosimbine8362]

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

[@topher_santos]

this is not only explanation about what we do on the settings of each, this is guide and encouragement of those, like me, who wants to be a good film maker. i learn a lot of things, thank you!

[@sbartholomew-nb2zw]

thank you so much. i've been a samsung guy for years, and just upgraded to the 24U. i feel like you have just unlocked the video feature of my phone. i record a lot of concert stuff (small venues mostly--i'm a death metal fan), and my videos often turn into an overlighted blur-glob. now i know how to solve that. you are incredibly talented in breaking all this down concisely and clearly.

[@iamsamkerswell]

This is the exact video I've needed for my new studio, thank you so much! You have taught me literally everything I've been searching for

[@MrPaulXavier]

You're so welcome!

[@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.

[@JackedUpOnMTDew]

I had to stop the video 6min in. I gotta say I have learned more about film in 6 minutes than I have in the last week watching vid after vid on content creation with an iPhone. New subscriber and look forward to more help👍🏼

[@MrPaulXavier]

Awesome, that’s what I’m aiming for!

[@DKEnParle]

The most important thing is that you can make the most out of what you already have and still come up with great results !

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@PropellerBoyRecords]

I have been struggling to understand how to get a cinematic look and feel on my smartphone, including all necessary settings to pay attention to. Learned it here. All valuable and extremely useful. Thank you loads Content Creators Team

[@BraydenLouidor]

I learned to use my iphone start my photography journey. I always wanted to start but I thought I would need fancy and expensive gears. You just saved my dream, thank you.

[@caroline4902]

I like the detail about controlling the camera from an app and the enhanced features that the lenses add to the video quality.

[@fluxd3218]

1 thing I learned and i think the most important one bc i use my phone to film, is the phone lenses, using outside film lenses completely change the difficulty in filming and makes it so much nicer and easier to

[@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 🙏

[@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!

[@thisismadisonyes]

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

[@brandonwitt1268]

I mostly film outside, so your outside lighting tips will really help me up my video quality. Thanks for all your tips and videos.

[@BradAboutYou]

Long time 14 day filmmaker student. I always learn so much. With this video, I’m beginning to understand lighting even more. It’s funny… you can know a thing but then see more examples and understand it more.

[@thabangsomo2383]

you explained the frame rate thing better than anyone I've heard from, so good one. Just started eploring shooting events with iPhones

[@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.

[@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!

[@melaniejuttner3784]

I am also a beginner, this video has given me a wealth of new information especially around settings which I have written all down (old school). What I found most useful though is the level of detail you went into about the lighting, this has given me such a better understanding. Thankyou so much.

[@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!

[@melvicgilbero]

as a beginner my number 1 thing I learned about this video is the setting up my camera. Thanks @contentcreator

[@rwscarlett2958]

I have learned a lot of new things I didn’t know about the way I could use my phone to create great content, such as shutter speed, iso and proper lighting. Thanks continue putting out these amazing teachings videos. Greatfull!

[@LaIslaKarina]

I'm always overwhelmed by how much you know about filmmaking (and I don't 🙂)... I didn't even think of using a different camera than the one that is on the phone...

[@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. 🇳🇬

[@venumenon5593]

Hi Anthony, I am a14 Day Filmaker student. What I learned from this video is to first download the Black Magic app and to start filming with my new iPhone 16! Great video and explanation!🙏

[@tabinajak]

One thing I've learned about this video is that if content is the king, then lighting is the queen. It can make or break a video. Thanks for sharing

[@TITANSKRISH]

Locking the whitebalance option was a gamechanger and also these much lens options for smartphones are really amazing 😍

[@harmonyayoba5049]

My favorite tip is the lock feature in the Black Magic app. Once you've set your settings, you can lock them in, so when you come back, there's little to adjust. I really appreciate this because it enhances flexibility and efficiency in setting up your camera for shoots."

[@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.

[@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.

[@333kwayne]

I missed the contest but I wanted to let you know how much I learned from your video. I've been deep diving for almost a year and this has more useful information than any video I've seen regarding the use of a smartphone. I have a Samsung Galaxy s24. Thank you for the information

[@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 .

[@MelodicSolar]

I never imagined I'd be interested in film, but a friend recently invited me to help with boom mic work on his movie. He’s been teaching me all about filmmaking, and now I’m getting a chance to get behind the camera! I came across this fantastic video and am so grateful for it. Thank you for what you do and for welcoming newcomers into the beautiful world of filmmaking!

[@theoldglory1866]

Soo, I’m clearly a beginner in this field. The first thing I understood was the ISO and Shutter settings specifications and the noise that happens ‘cause of the ISO. Everything is well explained and easily to understand!

[@Onyi.Anekwe]

I've been researching affordable cameras for content creation, then I stumbled upon this video and it has changed my perspective. I learned I don’t need a fancy gadget. My iPhone, with a few adjustments, can produce high-quality videos. I'm excited to start experimenting with these tips and tricks to elevate my video content.
