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!

High Quality Short Filmmaking with Ryan Camp

Ryan Camp Films has a notable vast library of video tutorials online. When you search how to’s for audio, mics, videos and filmmaking, his videos usually come up on the first page. There’s a good reason for that, he’s really good at explaining things so the non-experts understand. That’s because expert’s are not the ones who search for help and Ryan knows that.
Join a gripping, fun and inspiring conversation with myself and Ryan discussing what you can do to make better short films, and perhaps better feature films, too. Ryan uses Adobe Premier for editing and shares some tips for the post production process. 
In Episode 169 recorded December 8, Ryan and I discuss two of his short films. 2AM was shot with iPhone and was part of the International Mobile Film Festival in San Diego. Trophies was shot with a DSLR. Ryan shoots and stars in both films.
