IPHONE FILM MAKERS MEET MAVIS



IPHONE FILM MAKERS MEET MAVIS


There would come a day when an app that suited the smart phone film maker perfectly would come along. The Mavis app may not be perfect, but it is close enough for what we are going to use it for. Let’s begin with the fact that this app is not cheap. You are going to be spending at least 16 dollars, but hey you are making a movie. A professional film. If you are looking to produce something that will be seen by others, not only online, but in a movie theater someday then you are going to spend money somewhere and we are saving money by using our iphone rather than buying a costly DSLR camera.
Today we are going to look at a comparison between the three major apps used by smartphone film makers and this look will conclude with the Mavis app.






I found this short film shoot with the app.



This is a brand new year. We are entering an age of film making that I had doubts about when I started this blog over three years ago. I doubt if a Star Wars episode will ever be shot using a smart phone, but films like La La Land and Split are becoming a possibility. The future of iphone film making is in your hands. You will determine the shape of that future. To help you guys along the path I am going to share with you, during the next few post, quick tutorials about film making. There is a great deal more that goes into film making than just recording images and editing them together. You will have to learn how to how stories are told visually.

Thank you for visiting my blog and please take a moment to share this post.

THE IPHONE FEATURE FILM PODCAST


THE IPHONE FEATURE PODCAST About a year ago Tangerine, a feature shoot entirely using an iphone, hit theaters. During the next few years dozens of films will follow in its footsteps. With each iphone the cameras and the apps that go with them improves. At this moment you could shoot a feature length film that is equal in visual quality to the first generation of digital feature films. Today we are going to take a quick look at the this iphone feature along with a podcast interview and live interview with the film maker. If you have shoot a short or feature film using a smartphone I would love to hear from you and perhaps do an interview or at least feature your project in a future post. When I started this blog over three years ago many suggested that the iphone would be a passing fad where film makers were concerned, but since then it has become an important part of the micro budget film makers tool kit and in third world countries it is has become the primary tool.

AWESOME IPHONE 7 FOOTAGE


AWESOME IPHONE 7 FOOTAGE


Some of the footage coming from iphone film film makers using the iphone 7 is nothing short of amazing. Here is some 4k iphone 7 footage. Now some 4k footage without color grading.   

 This blog has been a great deal of fun to work on. I wish that I could keep up with all of the advancements in iphone film making, but things seem to change every other week. Soon the idea of feature films being shot with just a smart phone will seem like the most natural thing on earth.
