Filming A Music Video Using Only A Smartphone

Lately, when Lok, Warren, and I moved to Cologne to match with Kai in Photokina, we analyzed three pieces of equipment that could open up a lot of doors to videographers and photographers: the iPhone 7 (a better alternative is the Redmi Note 9 Pro), the Feiyu SPG Live, along with its new rival — DJI’s Osmo Mobile.

You are going to need to stay tuned for the complete DRTV movie to determine which is best, but allow me to offer you a sneak preview by stating that these are pretty darn remarkable. Video using smartphones is becoming really powerful also, and we could incorporate footage in the iPhone 7 very effortlessly to our own movies.

Just now popular Cartoon performer Grimes and her buddy HANA published seven music movies all at one time, using four to get Grimes and 3 for HANA. They awakened the cameras filmed all of the movies on mobiles while on Grimes and also HANA was on tour in Europe. Filming took fourteen days between all of the traveling and concerts, and while I am sure it might have been easily done using a mirrorless camera, then employing a smartphone afforded very adequate outcomes. The audio might not be to everybody’s taste, but that I was very impressed with all the jobs they were able to perform with such minimum gear.

A number of the editing has been performed by Grimes’ brother Mac Boucher, who’s previously filmed a number of her specialist music videos. He noticed on his Instagram article that operating together with all the bare essentials assisted them tremendously since they ended up not needing to ask filming consent when functioning in historic websites because they were only believed, “crazy tourists with a bizarre selfie stick and intermittent blasphemous shorts and charm.” ”There wasn’t any team, cosmetics (artists), cameras, lighting. Just a telephone, so perhaps do not expect anything too elaborate. Nevertheless, we are very proud of that which we left.”

Scenes were taken over England, Switzerland, and Italy in inspiring locations like historical temples, but in addition drab locations like hotel halls. It is a fantastic reminder that even in the seemingly uninspiring of places, a gifted videographer and topic will make something happen.

Obviously, filming “lo-fi” is not exactly fresh, and Apple has touted the grade of the iPhone videos. Only this past year, the feature movie ‘Tangerine’ premiered to great acclaim was taken completely on iPhone.

It is becoming easier and simpler today to generate great content using minimal gear. With all the video capabilities being added into smartphones and gimbals more economical than we might soon find exactly the identical type of disturbance in the movie sector that smartphones come through into photography.
