Dear Master, I'm ur biggest fan from India, who keep satisfying his hunger to learn minutiae of videography. Tons of 🙏

[@BeersInJapan]

You are the best at explaining video making, the BEST and it is not even close! I have been watching many other channels and they do have good info but no one has the natural capability you have. You speak a perfect speed (not to fast and not too slow), you break things down in a way, even a monkey would understand lol. If you ever publish a course, I will buy it immediately. I may be interested in private coaching.

[@SiHorrocks]

Thank you so much 💓

[@Chetan-K]

Concepts are well explained and simplified. I used to underestimate power of mobile phone filming but it seems like a game changer now

[@RussellWatsonFMHL]

Thanks - good refresher. One thing that makes things difficult is you can't lock your shutter speed but leave your ISO on auto. The other pieces of the picture not covered here are 8 vs 10 bit and the use of Vlog. I'll poke through your other videos to see if it's covered elsewhere.

[@fighthard4363]

Solid video once again. Thank you.

[@IansWorldTravels]

Really clear explanations, and you speak clearly and slowly, unlike some KZbinrs who speak at too many Words Per Second! Particularly useful re the shutter speed since I am more experienced with still photography than video. I will try the Filmic Pro app, but there have been many negative reviews about it recently, but it seems straightforward to get a refund if it crashes on my phone like others are saying it does on theirs.

[@SiHorrocks]

thanks Ian. If you have an Android phone McPro24fps is maybe more reliable but it's also more complicated

On ND filters, should I get all three or which one is the best compromise? Thanks in advance

Amazing video, so much knowledge being shared. I found your channel as I was looking for videos comparing some phone gimbals, and I was pleasantly surprised to find how in depth you go into techniques and elements that can help elevate one’s skills when filming. Love it! PS - I see what you did with the Fight Club scene… ;) Loved that little Easter egg, true to the film itself.

[@Rubi747HVY]

Excellent video and explanations on each area of photography, With all these variable frame rates used for effects, would you ever encounter audio sync issues?

[@RealityReasoner]

Great tutorial! Even a deaf man can learn from your explanations. I'm a newbie into mobile videography though I have a canon 5d mark iii with all sort of lens but only for photography. I recently decided to use mobile phone for video because they are lighter in weight when compared to dslr. I have the Filmic Pro and still being a dummy in it.☹ Thanks once again

[@cinematographytrev]

So glad I’ve come across your channel, I have a feeling I’m going to learn so much from you. I create content with my children with the fun things we do etc, but now I’ve jut got the iPhone 12 Pro I wanted to delve a little more in how I can improve and take what is essentially my hobby to a better level. Certainly going to try and look just for an ND filter if their is one that I can just clip onto my phone you recommend that would be helpful thank you. And thank you for your time in reading my comment. Much appreciated. I’m also looking into a suitable kind of selfie stick but one that I could also use as a tripod.

This dynamic tone mapping... Now I need to know when to take advantage of it and when not to. I would imagine its best to use it outside in broad daylight but not indoors. What about at sunset. Just found out it cannot be disabled on iphone :-)

[@sousahugo1000]

Excellent video . Can u make a video talking about moire patterns and how to avoid them ?

[@SiHorrocks]

maybe try recording highest resolution and try to reduce sharpening

[@louiewgroenewald]

Hi. Im very new to all this. I need to know regards frame rates. Do I shoot everything 24fps and shoot separate 60fps clips for slowing g down. Or do I just set phone on 60fps for the whole shoot.

[@sajidexplore1]

Thank a lot it’s very helpful 🤗🤗

[@Mary2020Jane]

Thanks so much for your video series. I've learned so much. With the Filmic Pro update, there are new choices under the stabilization settings for Cinematic stabilization. I'm using iPhone 11 Pro. I know Filmic Pro always says to turn off the stabilization when using a gimbal. Why is that? My guess is the two systems -- iPhone and Filmic Pro stabilization -- would then be competing, and you'd drain your phone and gimbal battery faster. But I've tried this out, turning on Cinematic in stabilization while using my Osmo gimbal and it gives incredibly smooth shots. Do you think I can go ahead and use it? Perhaps just for short clips.

[@SiHorrocks]

I nearly always use iPhone stabilisation with a gimbal. If it looks good, then it's good. I think in the past there were more issues. And some phones have bad inbuilt stabilisation. But I think newer top range phones are work ok. If there's a problem, you might see it kind of sticking when you are panning

[@Mary2020Jane]

@@SiHorrocks Thanks so much for your reply! Good information.

[@applerunner1184]

I am new to this channel and Filmic Pro. Enjoying both. I am super happy with Filmic pro, but I found it hard to keep it on the right shutter speed when i was moving from shot to shot, changing lenses, Frame rate etc. It looks like in auto, it defaults to the double rule if it can, but if it can’t it adjusts the Shutter Speed away from the double rule to get the right exposure. Then the process of doing it manually is fiddly. A more detailed video in this area would be helpful. I think that I have just talked myself into buying an ND filter :-)

[@Escekar]

Very inspirational…! Cheers…

[@Escekar]

I keep coming back to your videos and learning new tricks and skills.. can you suggest a video I can watch for still photos..

on Protake I cant seem to get it into 60fps at 4K. can you help? I have deleted and reloaded. I am at 14.6 on iphone and current protake.software. on your video review I see you were able to have that choice. mine stops at 30 fps. how can you contact the makers?

[@EVM_ENT]

How did u export out these large files ?? Pro res ??

[@ΕυθύμηςΚανέτσης]

Many thansk for your amazing work!!! I have a question that i have not solved until now. How we can avoid the picture trelbling when we move the camera fast? For exapmple at the present video at 23:28. Walls or furniture appear not so smooth in the final video. Once again congratulations on inspiring so many people around the world.

[@SiHorrocks]

slower shutter speed

[@Pankajno1]

Not sure if it just on my iPhone - I saved a profile with 120fps, after that there was no way to bring shutter back to 1/48 even after changing FPS, Resolution or even RESET... only thing that worked was - delete app and reinstall

[@WestCoastUSA546]

Simon, your channel just came into my feed and I became a subscriber! I enjoy your calm narrative style A LoT!👍Very pleasant. I just started learning about video production, and before that I was only using my DSLR for still photography. Well, I really want to master my smartphone for still photography and videography! My current phone is Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro. And, frankly, I really need to learn all phone camera settings for still and video, as it is quite new to me. Well, I was wondering whether I should be using my native phone camera or should I instead be using a third party app for that? If so, what app do you suggest for my Android? I would be very grateful if you reply, as I am kinda lost..

[@SiHorrocks]

hey there! If you watch my most recent video I talk quite a bit about whether to use an app. For android there are free apps Open Camera / HedgeCam 2 - so you can experiment for free. Also check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJi7g6imZdRoqas

[@harpenfluit]

What is the best shutter speed? It's good to realise that broadcast television is 25fps (US) or 30fps (Europe). It's not more cinematic to use 24fps. You will not see a difference, but it can cause problems since many devices are not able to output natively 24fps. The reason the cinematographic industry used lower fps, was to save money. Film stock is expensive and shooting at a lower fps saved a lot of money. So most shot at 18-24 fps. At a later time and because of the need of sound synchronization, 24fps became the norm. Therefore, I recommend setting the shutter speed at 25 or 30fps. Higher if you need slow-mo action or for specific needs.

[@xiaobaibai123]

What is the phone case and lense used in video thumbnail ? Are they available for android?

[@SiHorrocks]

the case is SmallRig but I believe they're only for iPhone www.smallrig.com/list/Phone-Rig.html The lens is the 1.55x by SmallRig

[@BrodiBarringer]

Curious if filmic pro is still needed with the iPhone 13 pro cinematic mode?

Hello Simon, love the video and content, I learned a lot from you, I recently acquired a Samsung galaxy note 10+,mostly for the camera, so far I'm loving the phone, still learning it. My last name is Horrocks as well and my father was born in Scotland then came to America while he was young. I'm very curious if we maybe related especially since Horrocks isn't that common of a name, at least here in the USA. Love to hear back from you and your thoughts on it. Take care. Jim Horrocks

[@SiHorrocks]

hi Jim! Good to hear from another Horrocks. I think it's not too uncommon a name in the UK. It comes from around the Manchester area, I believe. My Grandad worked for Rolls Royce in the city of Derby, other than that I don't know too much about the family history on the Horrocks side. I know of 3 other Simon Horrocks so I guess not too rare a name. One is in New Zealand...

[@tonybrownie]

For a Samsung s21 what is your recommendation maximum iso before noise comes in?

[@SiHorrocks]

keep it as low as possible. I usually stick to 200 max, but that doesn't mean there won't be any noise. It just means it's probably low enough for me

[@tonybrownie]

@@SiHorrocks Thanks and thanks for the quick response. Grtz

[@NIKONGUY1960]

How did you capture sound? That is one thing that haunts me.

[@jassemalqat1364]

[@AustinOmoria]

I did not quite get the Dynamic Tone Mapping segment. How do you set it on Filmic Pro?

[@SiHorrocks]

there's no way to set it but with Samsung devices, using manual control disables it. With an iPhone Filmic pro can't disable it, which means it will override your locked settings in certain situations

[@TechNomadUK1]

So, here a question. What smartphone in 2021 under $500/£500/€500 (apart from an iPhone or an old Pixel) has the most accurate front and selfie camera photo quality in terms of skin tones and dynamic range? I will wait. Cheers.
