TAKE #9 MAKE MOVIES with your SMARTPHONE!
Today more than ever before...
Smartphone Videos are getting BETTER in Quality! Not Perfect or Superv Quality for Theatrical Movie making... but phones like the iPhone 11 and others coming soon... are truly taking Cell Phone Video Quality to a whole new level. Enough, to seriously start thinking about making movies with it. So much so, that I've began to use them in some of my own productions.
Filming with an iPhone such as the iPhone 11 or newer models or brands will help you work faster, easier and the most important part of it all.... work without a crew! This means, finally being able to produce even Lower-Budget movies. And I love that! and will be teaching everything there is to know about how to shoot movies with your iPhone... as a One Man (or Lady) Band. It can be done!
Thanks to today's Cell Phone quality we are able to create amazing Cinematography and good (acceptable) quality movies which will be GREAT for Churches and for the Web/Youtube (Social Media) revolution market with a really good online quality that most anyone will love and enjoy!
Besides, Never get stuck with "Quality", too many filmmakers get stuck with trying to have the Best Camera or The Best Quality... forget that! Like I said, quality is only part of the picture, but it's not all of it. How many GREAT QUALITY films have you looked at and they were really bad movies. There are thousands of them, perhaps even millions of bad films out there, and a big chunk made by Hollywood. The secret is knowing The Art of Cinematography, that's what most BAD MOVIES lack. Cinematography (The art of lighting with Lights and Shadows and knowing how to perfectly frame any shot) is the Key to having a Great Interesting image on ANY HD or 4K camera. Everything else is just hype!
Camera companies make a living on hype and fake news! Trust me, I've been shooting both Film and Video since the 1980's. Back them, cameras would take 10 years to change model... Today, it's every 6 month, you know why? Because it's how they make more money. So again, The 'Video Image' is only one part of Cinematography, having a 'Great Story' is KEY! But even then, having a Great story is NOT even enough, you also need... Great Actors in your movie. In fact, it doesn't matter what camera you use, if you have a Great Story, Great Actors and Good descent sound... any movie will work amazingly well in most any market!... including the Theatrical market, specially if you make sure you maintain Great Cinematography throughout your entire movie.
I have been using my iPhone 11 to shoot behind the scenes footage and sometimes, shooting parts of a Video Spot as a 2nd camera... so, little by little I'm already incorporating Cell Phone videos in my professional work and the Look and Feel is amazing. And today, I'm also looking into making a short film using my iPhone 11, because when I do... I'm sure to stay shooting Feature Length movies with smart phones from then on.
