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 :)
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.
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
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.

@@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)

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 🙂

It's awesome to see free online content for creators like this! Thanks for making filmmaking accessible y'all.

Hi. Great Video! Can you please tell me if your Smartphone Video Pro course is compatible with a Galaxy A52? Thanks
excellent mobile tips
Amazing video! Btw, the soundtrack, in the beginning, is Pens and Needles by Virgil Arles, was looking for it for a while.
Can you make a video on transitioning between different clips for example shooting 24 fps then a quick 60fps slo mo then back to 24fps
4:06 "Hasselbad"
Might suit the camera better actually

I feel this video deserves a lot more views.
