SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking

Community and Industry for Smartphone Filmmakers with Susy Botello

Episode 174 was recorded February 19, 2024.
I share some history of pioneers who had been around and are no longer participating in the mobile filmmaking industry and community. I refer to Filmic Pro, Moondog Labs, and have you heard of Smart Phocus? 
It’s important for mobile filmmakers to feel supported and embraced. Confidence is important in filmmaking but it’s even more important for someone making movies with smartphones, even today when it has more approval than back when we started out. 
Guess what? You have the support. It’s not just me. It’s an opportunity when you come to the International Mobile Film Festival in San Diego.
I also make an announcement about our podcast.

The year is still new and January is still with us. Levi Austin Morris and Joey Min and I talk about 2024 trends for mobile filmmakers like, less gear?
But that’s not all we discussed, we also talked about more “inexpensive” accessories and gear entering the market for mobile filmmakers, and a few other topics.
Find how long a film shot using a baby tripod was and who later used a rock with a gimbal to film another. And then, Joey drops a sensitive topic for filmmakers, the “V” word!
