Stuff we use:
CAMERA - This is the camera we have used to film 90+% of our interviews (over 200 interviews and counting) It continues to be our workhorse - amzn.to/2dAercv
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2dUWP8h
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post - amzn.to/2e2AVVt
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2dFuPZg
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2dApDpp
COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2fzEYE1

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

[@Forenzikproductions]

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

[@Valkonnen]

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.

[@djibrilkeita6472]

And also get filmic pro.

[@LunerversalFilmTV]

Imagine is Sean Baker had the iPhone 15 Pro Max at the time LOL! There's absolutely no excuses Inspired filmmakers! No Excuses!

[@jannorris4140]

What was the budget of the movie?

[@theory8sf]

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

[@ilyaonthefly]

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

[@rajendrabiswas]

incredible how people made movies in iPhone ..just found it now..but sound and colour grading does the magic

[@christopherrimplington3643]

stabilizer or gimbal?? one with battery and motorized or mechanical and without battery

[@savedfaves]

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

[@savedfaves]

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.

[@josephmangano9938]

No stabilizer was used ,just my own hand as the movie warranted it , but will for next project

[@iwillnever4getu]

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

[@fotouhi]

Great insights from the Fellini of our time.

[@WallaceAyers]

Please do a behind the scenes episode!!!!

[@loisebful]

sean baker <3

[@leeinqinhuangdao262]

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?

[@ErikThureson]

Nicely done! Keep up the good work!

[@KristopherBryce]

Good advice, thanks! KB
