Overview

If you're a beginner looking to make videos on your smartphone for fun or for business, this course is for you! Whether you have an iPhone or Android device, I'll show you how to take video, light, and edit it all on a budget.

I'll be showing you everything you need to know so you can get started filming yourself on your iPhone or Android device. 

And don't worry, you won't need to spend money on gear and editing software! Just about everything in the course can be done for free or very cheap. 


It's never been easier to start!

20 years ago if you wanted to make videos, the cost and work upfront was a lot.

First, you'd have to invest in a camera which usually was expensive and required a lot of learning up front. 

Then, you'd need to make sure you have a computer that has enough storage for your videos.

Lastly, you would need editing software which requires spending more money and learning how to use it as well.

And that's not even including other gear like microphones, lighting, tripods, ect...

Now with the advancement of technology, you can do all of this from your smartphone.

The cameras on our phones have gotten so good it can be tough to tell the difference between a smartphone and a cinema camera! 

This is what makes creating videos on a smartphone so great. It's convenient, easy, and can be done on a single device. 


What You'll Learn

  • How To Setup Your Phone. In this section, I cover multiple ways you can setup your phone. So many people just pile a bunch of books on a table and have their phone lean back on them. There are much better ways to setup your phone both free and paid.

  • How To Light Your Videos. Lighting is one of the most important skills to learn when it comes to filmmaking. Especially when it comes to smartphones as they only have tiny sensors. Here you'll learn what I believe to be the easiest way to light your videos. And what's easier than just using the lights that are already in your house?

  • Audio Options. For most people who are starting to make videos on their smartphone, the build in microphone will do just fine. But if you really want your audio to be high quality, I share some microphone options that can help you achieve professional grade audio.

  • How To Edit Your Videos. Video editing may seem complicated but it's actually much easier than you think! In this section I walk you through step by step how to use InShot Video Editor to make your videos more professional looking. Things like adding images, adding text, and even some color grading! 


80% of the internets traffic is to video content which means video is most likely not going anywhere for awhile. And that's why businesses and brands are looking to learn the basics of smartphone video. If you're looking to get started creating content on your smartphone, I'm sure this course will be of value to you.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys create with your smartphone. Enjoy the course!
