This is literally a free film degree for anyone just getting started. Great job 👍🏼
I have to agree. 🎥🎞️😊
Listen man, there isn't enough that could be said here, I have been watching this and taking notes for the last two days, don't let the one-hour length fool you, this one gives you so much of a detailed overview of the entire process, and it is sooooo helpful. thanks from the bottom of my heart. I am ready now to start learning the details... let's get this
You're a filmmakers best friend.
Ditto
This is the Holy Grail Of Mobile Filmmaking 🤩🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank youuuu Patrick 🥰
Hey pat I watch your mobile tips also !
There's never been a better time to make short films with your smartphone that's for sure. Can't wait to see everyone's work at the Mobile Motion film festival this year!
I agree and understand what you are saying - but, yesterday or two years ago or longer time ago would also have been "never a better time to make short films with your smart phone" :) I think that the point is to just go ahead and actually do it right away, because tomorrow or the future will be even better regarding technology...but it's in the mindset that makes the movie and the "use what you've got at hand mentality". (not trying to talk you down by the way :) ...just thinking out loud here).
Best filmimaking short course on youtube platform.
This is the ultimate step by step procedure for filmmaking.
This isn't just the best tutorial for making films on phones this is incredibly useful to make films period! Thank you for such a wonderful video!
Man… I can’t thank you enough for making these videos. I know it takes a lot of time and effort. Thanks a lot! I’m a total beginner and I was just trying to improve my home made ordinary videos and you’re showing me the wonders of the seventh art! This is awesome!
I like that you take the time to speak in a manner that leaves open room for the creator to dream, your never single minded in the sense that if it isn’t your way it’s the wrong way. Many many thanks for your flavor of being human.
An all-in-one video. Thanks for sharing, now I can start making my videos professionally and that's all because of you.
So cool 🥰
not sure where to start with the thanks, you highlight very well the aspects which are most important with a serious tone. there isn't much whimsical words coming out of your mouth. very straight forward and concise. I appreciate your insight.
This is the best film education on the internet. Thank you 🙏
Sleeping on something you've written to see it with fresh eyes is something I've used forever when doing any writing, especially essays for school. I'm glad you mentioned it 😎
This is best delivery on the promise of a title for any TH-cam video I have ever seen! Fantastic job on this! So helpful!
Wow, thanks!
Impressed! ... makes me feel old. (Been amateur filming since 1968)
Absolutely Gem! For some of us who doesn’t have a proper film schooling but eager to learn, you making this journey really interesting, fun and motivating. Thank you so much for your encouragement.
You Sir are a legend. You are making TH-cam the best university in the world. I'm glad I found your channel.
I'm actually excited to make something now. I'll come back here to let everyone know when I film something!
Yesss!
Did you make something?
This blew my mind!!!! Total mobile filmmaking course!
Simon, I'm absolutely gobsmacked! This is such an insightful and generous knowledge sharing video. I take my hat off to you. Thank you so much.
That‘s just absolutely brilliant. Thanks a lot for the great videos, including this one! 👍
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you very much for all your amazing tuition videos!!!
You sir is a absolutely fantastic teacher, have learned so much from you, being paralysed from chest down and wheelchair bound with a manual wheelchair I have some extra hurdles as well as extra benefits ie dolly smooth footage etc, I'm on a budget but using the Zhiyun smooth 4 and S20 FE, love both. If only could find a good clamp to attach gimble to the oversized tubing on my wheelchair frame, anyways just wanted to say big thankyou, if your ever looking for props or a ex Eastend gangster looking wheelchairbound model look me up, I have a ww1 ww2 collection you name a item I will have it.
Either way I need to meet you if only to shake your hand so if ever in West Sussex look me up.🙏
This is the best tutorial covering absolutely every part of filmmaking in less that an hour. You’re great sir. I’m going to make a short film using the information I have learnt here and will submit it to you. Thanks for the knowledge.
THIS IS VERY DETAILED VIDEO! LOVE IT, thank you so much
This is so great! I felt like being in a Film 101 class with all the main takeaways condensed into 50 minutes 😊 Exceptionally high actual-content-per-minute ratio, much higher than usual on TH-cam!
What a huge amount of great tipps and helpful rules. Thanks
Absolutely incredible and so very informative!
Your channel is scholarship for filmmakers. This is more or less a full compendium of filmmaking. You should be credited in my forthcoming movie. I have to be be grateful you have deposited a lot in me.
fascinating...thank you sooo much...great work
Amazing work. I appreciate the tutorial and I super appreciate the depth of this tutorial. Thankyou for the inspiration :).

Incredible video. Ty so much. I’ll be shooting a music video next week and although I have quite a bit of experience with performances and filming dancers etc. I learned SO MUCH from this video that will help me stay on task and organized. Ty Ty Ty.
Thanks for the class. I love it. God Speed!
An outstanding and comprehensive presentation! Thank you. Also, the timestamps are an invaluable addition, along with information on the equipment used.
Glad it was helpful!
Just in time as I am in the middle of shooting my short film using 2 phones , an LG V40 and LG V60. One phone with the Beastgrip DOF adapter attached to a shoulder rig for stabilization and the other to a Ulanzi DOF on a Moza Air Cross 2 all filmed at night.
Sounds fun!
Ya bro 🤩 I have been watching you skill up like crazy 🤩🙏🏾👌👌👌👌👌
@@patricklevar 😁😁👍
I was looking for silver, and I find gold amazing channel from Mozambique 🇲🇿 ❤
Thanks for this Simon. I’m absolutely driven to become a filmmaker - I am very grateful for this video.
what a knowledge sharing video!...Thank you!!!!
I love you so much - I've immediately joined your patreon! What a great tutor!
Hey John thank you! And welcome to my Patreon 😃🥰
Regarding apps... i use "kit scenarist" which has pretty much all modules (like Research, Characters etc etc) and more. Its a free app and only the "sync" Features cost money. I just drag and drop my files with all my devices, so i dont need the sync-feature. (Mac, iPad, iPhone).
That was quite an extensive video. I learn something new from each of your videos. And now I will have to rewatch the guide on how to film two people again. Thank you Mr. Simon.
Very welcome! Glad you find it useful Omar
i feel like its grandfather mentoring my future ....thanks sir
This is really excellent. Thank you.
Thank you sir.
You are the great.
Watching from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Wow, it s like i took a free short course after watching this video. Thank you. Maraming Salamat Sir
Thanks Simon! Love!
Incredible job!!
Great work! Thanks a lot
Wow that was amazing
Great tutorials! You do an amazing job ! Thank you for your teaching
You're welcome!
Genius is the Word❤️
Very informative and useful video.
Hi Simon, it's quite interesting to follow your video on TH-cam regarding filmmaking utilizing smartphones. You seem to master very well the limits of the gadgets, but that is exactly what makes your explanation reasonable and plausible. Thank you very much.

omg TH-cam algo sucks! This video is a gold mine! Idk why I am recommended cringy TikTok videos rather than something amazing like this.
Thank you!!!!!
@@canada4ever853 seriously, I've been binge watching his videos, I've seen this one 3 times because I want to absorb all the information
.
Brilliant. Just brilliant.
thank you!
Love and respect from india🇮🇳
Thank you so much for sharing. Really enjoyed this tutorial.
Thanks for watching Michael! 😁
It's really so helpful video Love you bro
Thanks alot. Thank you so much sir.🙏
Extremely useful information. I just bought an iPhone 11 Pro for this very purpose. Thanks so much for making this invaluable video!
Brilliant- thank you
Dang this was beyond good.
This video is Gem 💖🔥
Superb bro awesome work
Not any regrets for the length of the video. Very valuable. At times, I said I knew that, then you told me something I had forgotten. Not an unfamiliar thing for an older person. I remember back in 1968, an 8mm system became available that would sync the image with audio on a cassette recorder. As a student, beyond my means, but I did think about how I would use the kit to make a film. Never persued it. But in the back of my mind, … . This, and my new OM4 might result in something. Maybe, “They Came For Easter Dinner”. Starring my granddaughter. Have a whole month to plan it. Excuse me, have work to do … .
Great man love from India
I have found this and your entire channel instrumental in guiding me on my first journey as a director shooting a short film and choosing specifically to shoot on a smartphone. I'll let you know how it goes!!
This was a good video. A good starting point. Thank you for sharing. God bless.
Simply awsome!
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Amazing video!
1st here!
You’re a legend ✨✨ keep it up
Fantabulous
This is Great i will us it to learn
Salute your hardword ❤️
Thank you for making film school obsolete 👌
Epic!
Thanks Simon 😁
This is an extraordinary era , where extraordinary people like you live and share ! Thank u 🙏
Thank you so much 🥰
You change my life
Thank you
My god that was a detailed run through. I new most of the parts of the process, but never in such details. Wish i could spend some time with you on a production, i would learn so much. Thank's for sharing so much knowledge with the community. I did a few amateurish videos of family stuff and a couple of events with both the Lumix LX100 and my Sony A-6000 at the time. Not bad but not very good either, there's quite a steep learning curve in cinema i find, but i have a solid photography background so it helps a little. I got an iPhone 12 Pro max last week after my kids kept pressuring me to change my old iPhone 5s. I am amazed by it's video quality i must admit, i just thought getting the Pro max would make things easier for me regarding phone calls, getting e-mails and searching on google, but man i see the video potential of this amazing phone so i'll be getting more equipment and start doing more movies now. I already have tripods, a video head, colour/grey chart, ND filters and even a little slider and a Rhode Lavalier mic. It is more than i need to get started i suppose, but i would also like to get a gimbal and a decent cage and focus pull system in order to try and use old legacy lenses i have. In that respect i was wondering if you could perhaps make a video on the subject. I mean i have no idea of the crop factor involved trying to fit full frame lenses on such a small sensor, what would the effective focal length of a 50mm be on the iPhone 12 Pro max for instance ? Do the lenses have to be cinema dedicated or can normal photo lenses be used ? I'm sure many of us have similar questions. By the same token could you do a bit about computers and an overview as to what we should aim for in terms of processing power, memory etc. Last time i edited videos in Adobe Premiere Pro (which i found quite intuitive for a beginner by the way), my old iMac mid 2011 could handle 4k clips or it would slow down something terrible when applying a lot of colour grading, transitions and sound effects. I was lead to believe that laptops were a good solution for rendering because of their smaller screens, is there any truth to that ? As you can see i have a lot of questions, i am really eager to learn, i have a lot of time on my hands being retired now. Yesterday i downloaded Filmic and experimented with it all day, i managed to understand the focus pull technique and it just got my imagination going even more. I have so many ideas for movies i'd like to make one day. Have a great day and again thank you sir.
I am still watching this in 2023 and in fact watched it half a dozen times. haha. This is good content. Just want to recommend another alternative to handbrake. "Shutter Encoder". I used it to transcode my pixel 7 videos to VP9 before I import it to premiere pro. This is a very good transcoder too. Free too. Realize I have watched you for so long but I haven't subscribe on this account. lol.
thanks for the tip! Glad you are getting the most out of this video 😎
GD Work!!! Great help for us !;)
Great 👍
What a FANTASTIC video! Thank you.
I run a music production studio and am a sound engineer. I am looking into smartphone filmmaking as I find it very interesting. I have my Samsung S21+, a smartphone gimbal and a Mavic Mini drone.
I want to make a music video for one of my customers but my big personal goal is to make a documentary about the Island of Crete.
I hope to film some hiking footage combined with drone footage and some interviews. Do you have a video on this type of film? Where the island is the main character.
Thank you 😊
Thank you - this was so helpful. Just starting out on my TH-cam journey. Just bought the gimbal through your affiliate link.
Great to hear Julia! You're very welcome
You are my hero
I love your channel! Thanks so much for providing such easy to watch educational videos. I also love your narration and voice over quality. Do you have a video in which you describe your audio setup for recording voice over?
