SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking

In this episode I pick the brain of a nature and wildlife photographer Scott Bourne. Scott is also a professional videographer. His extensive experience is inspiring and he recently had an experience where he turned to an iPhone 13 Pro and now he insists on using it as his camera.
Scott’s quote during our conversation: “Nobody cares what you do, they care why you do it.” Simon Sinek from his book, “Start With Why.”
I bring up a bit about where we are in the International Mobile Film Festival taking place next month, in April.

What we discuss:
Birds and wildlife photography and video capture
What it takes to capture birds in their natural habitat
Storytelling with photography
The importance of story in your films and videos
An embarrassing and disturbing experience I endured in video production
Much more…

We met Julian Bate-Vergette in episode 115. Julian’s experience and studies make him a great resource to get motivated about audio quality for your mobile films. Audio quality can make or break your film.
Mobile filmmakers who are not experienced filmmakers do not always have the resources to make their films sound amazing. But that doesn’t mean your audio needs to be so poor it distracts from the overall quality of your film. Listen to episode 120 as we have a serious discussion about audio. 
I am going to pick Julian’s brain so you don’t have to, and you won’t need a lot of audio tech knowledge to understand it all.
What we discuss:
Mic check basics
Room Tone: why and when it’s important
When you need external audio capture
Shotgun mic or wireless clip on
Cheat extra audio track layers with iPhones
Audio Film Formats for video
Much More...
