    I worked with Sean a lot early in my career, and I can say that he is one of the most serious and passionate filmmakers I've ever met.

    He's so right - sound is so so so important - massive thumbs up on the film

    His reluctance to give advice here shows he's a thoughtful artist who knows the pros and cons about shooting with a phone.

      savedfaves how did they handle low light, even a great cam will fuck up in low light, how did they manage it with 5s

    He is right, get a stabilizer and good sound, ive filmed a few videos with my iPhone and it needs these.

    So true! Sound to me is equally as important as the video maybe more.

      theory8sf I couldn't agree with you more... I am a sound engineer for films.. and I cannot stress this enough. Sound will make or break your film..

  • @savedfaves
    @savedfaves 9 років тому +22

    Even with the 6+ there's a jell-o effect when moving quickly as the optical image stabilisation couldn't possibly compensate for the movement your hand is doing in a way that feels completely and utterly natural. A stabiliser it probably always advisable.

      Yep. A bit of shake is always better than the awful pan and scan feel of IS.

    Some awesome advice! People who want to start filmmaking but only have an iPhone or any other smart phone need to watch this first. :-)

    its so crazy that he said the audience can accept anything visually but the sound has to be crisp when me and quit a few of my fellow artist in the "cloud rap" scene of the early 2010s felt exactly the opposite. film HD sharp music videos like lil b the based god, main attakionz, a$ap rocky but the music was lo fi nasty and filtered lol. at least thats how i saw it and was tryna do it

    Agreed on the sound aspect, but there are more phones than the only one mentioned in the interview, like Samsung's S6/7, which are better in many ways. Why advertise one particular phone?
    How about good lighting? No point using any device if the lighting is bad.

      @Michael Murphy sorry man that's pretty awful advice. People should work with what they have first, if you know your stuff you can still creative a visually appealing film. Then you can rent a camera for your second.

      8 Films It is currently playing in New York and Los Angeles and we believe it will be hitting other cities if you are hoping to see it in a theater. Also believe it may hit VOD soon, so keep an eye out.

      Here's a great article on No Film School that goes into depth on the production including sound - nofilmschool.com/2015/07/tangerine-sundance-iphone-5s-sean-baker-radium-cheung-interview. Sean spent a good amount of money to make sure the audio was top notch professional.

      No 'in camera' stabilisation will ever be good enough to shoot handheld for making a movie.
      Besides. For just 129 bucks. You can get a DJI Osmo mobile 2.

      Although they filmed with an iPhone, they went heavy duty with sound. They didn't cut any corners with sound. A little more on the production can be found in this article - nofilmschool.com/2015/07/tangerine-sundance-iphone-5s-sean-baker-radium-cheung-interview
