Yes absolutely! We are teaching the art of videography with a smartphone. All the techniques are the same across different models and platforms. 

However, the Cinematic Mode is only available in certain Iphone models.

Smartphone videography is more than just using a smartphone to randomly film something.

One needs to direct the scene, plan the shoot and understand the camera angles and movement.

This class is perfect for someone who wants to learn the essentials in videography using a smartphone: the camera angles & movement, the composition, lighting, directing, basic settings (frame rate & resolution).

Basic editing skills will also be taught (versus The Advanced Level Videography Workshop coming in 2025 will be heavily focused on editing).

You videography skill will improve drastically after taking this class.

The Special Effects Videography Workshop will heavily focus on in-depth level editing: overlap, masking, keyframing, green screen, background removal, speed curves and more.

It will be available in 2025/ end of 2024.

A lot of gears will be needed when you film with a camera. For instance, you need to invest in a gimble, which can be very expensive.

Smartphones are capable of filming high quality videos with very little investment. Most smartphone footages are of high quality even without a gimble.  

Furthermore, there are free editing apps that allow one to edit the clips effortlessly.

As the creative side of videography is more important, this class will help you make amazing videos in 3.5 hours.

Yes! Your smartphone is a powerful device in the pocket. Even professional photographers have to use their smartphones in some occasions!
