    Stuff we use:
    CAMERA - This is the camera we have used to film 90+% of our interviews (over 200 interviews and counting) It continues to be our workhorse - amzn.to/2dAercv
    LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2dUWP8h
    AUDIO
    Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post - amzn.to/2e2AVVt
    Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2dFuPZg
    LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2dApDpp
    COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - amzn.to/2fzEYE1

    I worked with Sean a lot early in my career, and I can say that he is one of the most serious and passionate filmmakers I've ever met.

    He's so right - sound is so so so important - massive thumbs up on the film

    His reluctance to give advice here shows he's a thoughtful artist who knows the pros and cons about shooting with a phone.

    He is right, get a stabilizer and good sound, ive filmed a few videos with my iPhone and it needs these.

    So true! Sound to me is equally as important as the video maybe more.

      theory8sf I couldn't agree with you more... I am a sound engineer for films.. and I cannot stress this enough. Sound will make or break your film..

    Some awesome advice! People who want to start filmmaking but only have an iPhone or any other smart phone need to watch this first. :-)

  • @savedfaves
    @savedfaves Před 9 lety +17

    Even with the 6+ there's a jell-o effect when moving quickly as the optical image stabilisation couldn't possibly compensate for the movement your hand is doing in a way that feels completely and utterly natural. A stabiliser it probably always advisable.

      @Michael Murphy sorry man that's pretty awful advice. People should work with what they have first, if you know your stuff you can still creative a visually appealing film. Then you can rent a camera for your second.

    its so crazy that he said the audience can accept anything visually but the sound has to be crisp when me and quit a few of my fellow artist in the "cloud rap" scene of the early 2010s felt exactly the opposite. film HD sharp music videos like lil b the based god, main attakionz, a$ap rocky but the music was lo fi nasty and filtered lol. at least thats how i saw it and was tryna do it

    Agreed on the sound aspect, but there are more phones than the only one mentioned in the interview, like Samsung's S6/7, which are better in many ways. Why advertise one particular phone?
    How about good lighting? No point using any device if the lighting is bad.

      Although they filmed with an iPhone, they went heavy duty with sound. They didn't cut any corners with sound. A little more on the production can be found in this article - nofilmschool.com/2015/07/tangerine-sundance-iphone-5s-sean-baker-radium-cheung-interview

      8 Films It is currently playing in New York and Los Angeles and we believe it will be hitting other cities if you are hoping to see it in a theater. Also believe it may hit VOD soon, so keep an eye out.

      Here's a great article on No Film School that goes into depth on the production including sound - nofilmschool.com/2015/07/tangerine-sundance-iphone-5s-sean-baker-radium-cheung-interview. Sean spent a good amount of money to make sure the audio was top notch professional.

      No 'in camera' stabilisation will ever be good enough to shoot handheld for making a movie.
      Besides. For just 129 bucks. You can get a DJI Osmo mobile 2.
