SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking

Part Two: Looking Forward to Smartphone Filmmaking in 2025 with Miguel Lopez de Leon

Episode 210: This episode was recorded December 21, 2024 and published December 31, 2024. New Year's Eve.
Part Two of a two part series with our guest, Miguel Lopez de Leon. In part one we share who Miguel is, his passion for storytelling and his newfound challenge in mobile filmmaking.
Join Miguel and myself now in part two as we discuss AI: Generating and automating as an artist, the film “28 Years Later” shot with iPhone cameras, mobile film gear in the earliest days, social media and video progress; and among other things, our mobile filmmaking community with the International Mobile Film Festival in San Diego.
Miguel was one of the attending filmmakers at this year’s 13th International Mobile Film Festival in San Diego last April. His short mobile film “Ghost Leave” had the audience laughing and loving it! He’s planning to attend the 2025 edition April 25-27. Miguel’s making a feature film and is looking for crew in L.A., if you’re interested.
Thank you for listening to the podcast. I wish every one of you the very best in 2025.

Fade In To Film: Movie Set Tips for First Timers

Episode 208: This episode was recorded December 14, 2024 and published December 17, 2024.
First of all, we wish all of you the best during this holiday season. 
In this episode of our Fade In To Film series, Joey Min and I team up to share some good tips and a few things we learned about what to do, and what not to do, on set of an independent film; and we’ll adapt some traditional on-set etiquette to smartphone filmmaking.
We also tackle the role of the gaffer on set, versus the grip; and if you will ever need one on set for a mobile film. We begin with drones in New Jersey because that’s where Joey is, and it’s interesting.
