Smartphone Video For A Cause with Dimple Devadas Episode 24

Our guest for Episode 24 of the SBP Podcast is Dimple Devadas in London. Her film, Silence in London will screen during the International Mobile Film Festival in San Diego #MFF2018. Shot with an iPhone, the film shares an interesting message in a natural setting with a poetic song. Cassius Rayner made the movie with her. She and Cassius met in a mobile filmmaking class he taught in London and they decided to work on the film together. You can hear from him on Episode 20 of the SBP Podcast.
Dimple is a psychologist by profession but she is also making films using smartphones. She says to “watch this space,” meaning her space, as she is already working on new projects. This podcast is a conversation about how some of the stories behind a film can help you understand the message behind a film and appreciate how it came together. This is true with many films and this one has a a cause behind it with a story being told in the moment and an opportunity for you to join the cause with your own version in your community.
SBP Podcast: The Voice of Mobile Film™ is for everyone who ever wanted to or is curious about making movies and videos using smartphones.

Upcoming International Mobile Film Festival in San Diego Episode 22

Our brand ambassador, Aaron Nabus and myself discuss the upcoming International Mobile Film Festival taking place April 28 and 29 in San Diego. The festival is exclusively focused on all things mobile film. The theme this year is a celebration of making movies and videos with smartphones globally.
We share the logistics of the festival, the location, the dates, the times and what attendees can expect. We asked Aaron Nabus, our brand ambassador, to share the names of the filmmakers in this year’s film festival #MFF2018SanDiego. We spoke a bit about why we are celebrating mobile film as a theme this year and then we talked a bit about some filmmakers who are coming back this year.
Aaron shared some information about our VIP Special Guest Speaker, Tim Russ also known for his role as Tuvok in the Star Trek Voyager television series.
The entire podcast is an open conversation about our film festival and the community Aaron has come to know since he met me during our mobile filmmaking panel during Comic-Con in San Diego 2016. We also talk about the current state of mobile filmmaking regarding the fact that Hollywood is now publicly showing interest in making films with iPhones.
Aaron and I discuss the new official Cosplay Category for our film festival which we are looking forward to presenting during our film festival next year. Aaron is captivated by the Chicken Story from our film festival’s beginnings…so we talk a bit about that and you’ll have to listen to the podcast to know what our film festival has to do with chickens.
This episode was recorded on March 17th, Saint Patrick’s Day. It’s a bit relaxed and casual but that is why you may enjoy the natural flow of the conversation discussing our favorite and most important event of the year. There are some tips about making films and videos with smartphones mixed in this podcast.

What Is The Filmbreaker Movement with Jason van Genderen Episode 21

Ten years. Perhaps you just found out recently that people are making movies with mobile phones. It may come as a shock that it’s been going on for over ten years. But we recently met someone who has been making films using cell phones and more recently with smartphones since 2008. Meet Jason van Genderen in Australia. A pioneer filmmaker in the mobile filmmaking industry.
About two days after Jason launched his project: Filmbreaker, we recorded this podcast episode 21. Now, we are in San Diego which is history to Australia since they are a day into the future from us. But in about one day, after launching a Facebook page and the project, Jason had surpassed his goal. He planned to spend the rest of 2018 traveling and speaking at events geared toward mobile filmmakers to reach ten thousand followers to the project. But he passed that goal in one day. So when we were scheduled to record our podcast a couple days in, Jason was thrilled with enthusiasm…sort of elated with the results.
In this podcast, we asked Jason to tell us about where he came from and what drove him to make films with phones when hardly anyone else was doing it beyond experimenting. Jason shared that the technicalities of video production with professional cameras he used for videos before cell phones were actually keeping him from focusing on the story part of his videos. Once he began to use his phone with all the simplicities, he was able to focus more on the storytelling aspect of making films and videos. He won an award at TropFest and he just, well, he didn’t say it but we know what happened. He got bitten by the mobile filmmaking bug and became passionate about making films with phones.
You’ll want to listen to the podcast to understand a bit of the history of how we arrived here, ten years later. The conversation finds us comparing notes about the beginning of the mobile film industry from each of our perspectives. There is a story within this podcast which takes a little imagination to realize. But the best part is where we go from here. And that is where you, the listener, can take the story. Now it’s your turn to be a part of a great movement, a great community, and a great story. The story of mobile film began over ten years ago. Today is the beginning of the future of that story and it includes you and everyone with a phone camera. If you accept the dare to make films and share your stories using your smartphone camera.
You will want to tune in to our exclusive bonus podcast on our Patreon page for our patrons. Jason shares all you need to know about settings on your phone and apps. You will learn how to go into your settings to make sure you get the most of your video recordings for your films and then Jason brings up settings on apps used for filmmaking.
SBP Podcast is The Voice Of Mobile Film™ hosted by Susy Botello, founder of the International Mobile Film Festival in San Diego, California.
Watch Jason’s film, Mankind Is No Island. The film won an award at Tropfest in New York, in 2008:

Smartphone Video for Professionals with Cassius Rayner Episode 20

It’s one thing to make films as an art of self-expression and then there is the art of making films as a profession for clients. As the popularity of smartphone video spreads into the business industry, more people are becoming aware of the benefits of quality versus cost when hiring videographers and producers using smartphone cameras as opposed to big expensive cameras. Cassius Rayner is in London and he teaches smartphone video production.
During the podcast discussion with Cassius, he shares the popularity of mobile video production with journalism as more and more reporters are adopting the medium in the UK through “MoJo” a popular nickname for Mobile Journalism. Cassius is an experienced filmmaker and videographer and his stories bring us to understand why a professional would choose to use his or her smartphone as the camera to produce professional videos for their clients. He shares some tips and approaches to making professional videos for a paying client.
