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)

I've watched dozens of filmmaking videos and you easily took the top for being the most insightful and also haveing some of the best shots. Thank you!

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

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.

Everyone who films on a phone should watch this however, it's also applicable to cameras.

You guys are just A M A Z I N G ✨

When I watch the fulltime family it always brings me a lots of treasures for what I eagerly wait....... Thanks fulltime filmmakers

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!

this is the only channel that uploads a 23 minutes video and I dont skip

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 :)

Dropping a cellphone videography tutorial right after insta comes out as saying they're primarily focused on video. Genius 👏

Thanks a lot 🙏🏻

Awesome video - thanks guys!

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.

It was really helpful, thank you ❤️

Best detailed video tutorial I've seen so far.

Finally video that we wanted please also make how to edit on phone

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

An excellent very professional presentation which makes me seriously consider your course.

Watching From Nepal 🇳🇵 And lots of love 💕

So much value here. Thanks for the content! Using this for my youtube channel

Lovely video, pls can u try the LG v60 for a video shoot it has manual mode for video and photo

Damn talked straight through with no breaks with the intensive script! Lots of jammed packed info.

Thanks for the scenes from Sausalito, brings back good times.

That was a LOT of info in one video. Thanks!

You're extremely generous. I truly appreciate it. You've definitely gained a follower!

Thank you, Parker Walbeck, for consistently creating and sharing such informative and helpful videos on KZfaq. 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!"

0:45 The transition is amazing!

even the intro just breathtaking

very informative... the kind of video begginers searching for...

the first part of the video made me forget i was watching tips and tricks until your intro popped up LOL that very inspirational

You are beyond my imagination. Good to see you back

Love from Indiaaaa! I'm gonna keep these awesome tips in mind for my next travel! Thanks for much Parker!!

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 , like that bird transition

Very helpful! Thanks a lot

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 always see the videos from this channel to improve my making videos. Always thank you

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.

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 KZfaq. 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! :)🕊

Oh boy. You guys are on fire!! I'm in! Planning to get your course ASAP

This was so helpful, thank you.

4:06 "Hasselbad" Might suit the camera better actually

this was extremely helpful wow. didn't realize that I was already doing some of these (kind of) subconsciously so woooo

Some tips from here I already use and some awesome new ones I'll apply to my next video, thanks

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.

Awesome content. thanks. Btw that rear tire was under inflated :)

Great tips! Thanks!

super informative great vid for beginner , with the smartphone,

Спасибо большое за видео 👍🏻 Вдохновляет!)))
