Sharing my notes here 😀. Keep shooting peeps. 1. SMARTPHONE GEAR - 3:30 - Top smartphones will deliver good results - Buying good quality stabilizer > Smartphone Gimbal - Manual Camera App = Moment Pro Cam, Filmic Pro, Bestcam - Pro Camera, DJI MIMO - ND Filter - Third party lenses - Tripod - Microphone - Portable battery charger 2. CAMERA SETTINGS - 7:30 - Highest Resolution (1080p to 4k) - Highest bitrate - Frame Rate - 24fps realtime, 60fps slow motion - White Balance - Shutter Speed and ISO > use ND Filter if needed 3. NAILING CORRECT EXPOSURE - 10:05 - Take the time to get a clean exposure 4. FOCUS - 11:21 - Locking the focus to prevent video from beating 5. LIGHTING - 12:12 - Shooting in ideal conditions - Prioritizing the best locations and lighting conditions - Shoot at golden hour or Shade/Cloud Coverage 6. CINEMATIC MOVEMENTS - 13:30 - Knowing how to incorporate smooth movements - Avoid these: - Using a low quality gimbal - The in camera stabilization is conflicting with the gimbal stabilization - Don't know how to operate the gimbal properly - Having gimbal doesn't mean that you will instantly get cinematic movement. You will need to constantly practice. 7. FOCAL LENGTHS AND LENS OPTIONS - 15:18 - Utilizing the phone's lenses - Main camera lens always have the best quality - Using third party lens like moment lenses 8. COMPOSITION - 16:47 - Make sure you fill the frame with subjects - Don't just digitally zoom like your mom - Use foreground - Use rule of thirds - Use leading lines 9. SHOOT TO EDIT - 18:20 - Ask yourself why you are shooting. Will it benefit to the content that you will make? - Do a little bit of pre-planning before start shooting - What emotions do I want to convey? - Always shoot more than you need. - Dont just shoot to shot. Always think the purpose of each shot. 10. CAPTURING PROFESSIONAL AUDIO - 20:02 - Learning how to sound design - Make sure that your mic is as close as possible to your subject. - You can use external mics (lav mic, shotgun mic)
Started off using my smartphone as a entry level for my channel. Now I've invested in Sony Lens and Camera and is tough going back to mobile quality. Just can't unsee the quality difference.
Honestly the biggest tell is that the smartphone footage is waaaay over sharpened. If you can get the exposure right and use compositions where the small sensor deep depth of field isn't noticeable, you wouldn't be able to tell, if it weren't for the sharpening.
I'll add a couple: anti-flicker and de-sharpen. Smartphone footage flickers a lot, especially in higher contrast scenes, but I found the anti-flicker in Premiere does a pretty good job at removing this. Smartphone footage also tends to be way too sharp. When that's toned down, it looks a lot more natural. With my S21 the stabilization is pretty darn impressive. Unless you need to be walking for your shot, you really don't even need a gimbal, especially if you shoot in 60 fps for slow mo. Add in warp stabilizer and it looks like it was on a gimbal! I've been sleeping on what my phone can do, but after reviewing some video I took with it, I'm gonna start using it more!
I would say a bonus tip is to lean in to the quality. Instead of trying to make the phone look good, just use it a a handheld little story machine, like for flashbacks or some handheld action to create emotion, make the viewer feel like they are there. Thats how I use the smartphone atleast :)
Since I film only on an iPhone, this video helped A LOT. One thing I would suggest though is adding a light blur/glow to the footage- it gets rid of that ultra sharp iPhone look
Love these tutorials! I actually learned recently that certain social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram only take iPhone videos that are 30 FPS hence why it automatically goes to 30 FPS in the camera app. Anyways great job again keep crushing it!
Being an owner of multiple gimbals it's better to spend an additional $20 to $30 more than the DJI Osmo 3 or 4 and buy a high quality mid size gimbal like the Feiyutech G6 Max or the Moza Mini P. They are not bulky and still small in size and portable. With these you can be future proof and attach lenses , ND filters , cages and microphones without counterweights and risk burning up the motors. Also you can attach cameras if you want to upgrade so you're not stuck to a smartphone only gimbal and then have to buy another.
This is very helpful. I’m traveling to Nigeria and I’m traveling light. So definitely using my smartphone to capture video. I have an DJI Osmo 3 and the Moment Lenses. I use counterweights that can be screwed into the stabilizer to balance the phone.
Wow, this is really impressive. I'm so glad I came across your video. This is why content creators need hardware nerds! The kind that are smart in translating hardware technicalities into simpler terms. I had a limited budget as a world traveler and I brought the wrong gear (insta360 X3) even after countless hours of reviewing the best action camera on Earth. Because no one spoke about its negative aspects of vlogging and the editing work. Now I have to sell it for a huge loss. I was thinking of using my iPhone 14Pro coupled with the latest DJI gimbal and adding in the best wireless audio from Rode. I needed to know with full confidence if my footage could beat the few thousand dollars cameras I couldn't afford. I was strategizing on using Adobe Premium Pro and upgrading my video editing skills, sharpening my music pairing intuition. Your production was the greatest testament, it was the best 25 mins I have ever spent on TH-cam. You did so well in explaining and showcasing everything (The sales pitch was pretty subtle yet such a powerful presentation). Thanks for helping me to trust that what I have, is already a powerhouse! :)🕊
Thank you, Parker Walbeck, for consistently creating and sharing such informative and helpful videos on TH-cam. Your content has greatly impacted my learning and growth in the field. I truly appreciate the time and effort you put into creating valuable content for your audience. Keep up the great work!"
Nice video! The DJI osmo gimbals are great for broll but people need to understand they are not built to hold a chunky lens and filters. The gears can/will eventually wear out so I have gone from the osmo 3 to the Weebill S so I can use a full set up with the gimbal.
Wow love your page Parker, thank you so much for these great tips i have learned so much because of you guys. You guys are the best with helping new videographers and film makers to pursue a career's in the film industry especially these days with social media. Once again thank you

@@thatcherfreeman agreed! Way too oversharpened
@@thatcherfreeman yeah
@@thatcherfreeman I use a iPhone se 2nd gen and it’s is over sharpened way too much. And I can’t de-sharpen it 😐😐
@@dannybaldelomar it is possible … use davinci Resolve (free version)
Everyone who films on a phone should watch this however, it's also applicable to cameras.
Absolutely 💪
Okay madam 😍
Certainly

How do you de-sharpen the footage? in editing or there's anything we can do while shooting
@@rishabhnaudiyal1301 yes, in editing
Compared to real film all digital images look too sharp 🙂
You guys are just A M A Z I N G ✨

@@mohammadrafin8243 Bro, He is Comparing the phone with a Cinema Camera which is Really Costly.

Dropping a cellphone videography tutorial right after insta comes out as saying they're primarily focused on video.
Genius 👏
They dropped it a few days ago but then deleted the video. Not sure why. It's still there in my notifications but greyed out.
Full Time Film Maker is the Best Course I've Ever paid for!
This is one of the most detailed and yet crisp information I've seen on Smartphone Videography or Photography. Keep up the great work.

Best detailed video tutorial I've seen so far.
Love these tutorials! I actually learned recently that certain social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram only take iPhone videos that are 30 FPS hence why it automatically goes to 30 FPS in the camera app. Anyways great job again keep crushing it!
I think 30fps is just the default settings for most phones
