James Smith was \u201cnever a fan of mobile filmmaking,\u201d he says. When he and his partner, Caroline Spence, lost their camera person and the actual camera on their film set, Caroline suggested using a smartphone.\nIn episode 91 of the SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking we bring our listeners to the U.K. and talk to experienced filmmaker, James Smith. We discuss all things filmmaking and compare the differences between production with a traditional camera and smartphone cameras.\xa0\nJames shares many great tips, and advice, about making films using a hybrid technique of traditional filmmaking with the smartphone camera. He also explains, in great detail, the benefits of treating your mobile film production as professional as possible, while at the same time, using the smartphone camera to your advantage.\xa0\nJames Smith and Caroline Spence, whom we spoke with in episode 90, have produced two feature-length films with their smartphone: Cyberlante and Surveilled.\xa0\nWe discuss acquiring a crew, which happens gradually over time. We chat a bit about the unique industry that filmmaking is, which is not a traditional 9 to 5 job. Adaptability and passion is ultimately necessary to survive in the filmmaking environment.\xa0\nEven though you are making a film with a smartphone, that still does not mean you don\u2019t need funds to complete your project. We discuss a bit about the traditional funding process. James compares the benefits of funding in what I called \u201ccommunity funding\u201d through crowdfunding. He also discussed a bit about what crowdfunding is like, and how it differs to traditional funding for filmmakers.\nIn this episode of our podcast James shares direct comparisons to mobile filmmaking versus traditional filmmaking during production, on a film set. The different attachments for the smartphone camera in comparison to traditional cameras, such as lenses, can be a challenge for traditional filmmakers used to larger gear. There are also quirks that can happen with apps, and phone settings, as simple turning off notifications so you don\u2019t get a call while recording. There are many details to remember during your film production to prep your camera to adapt it from using it as your phone one minute and a filming camera the next.\nSBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking: The Voice of Mobile Film\u2122 is for everyone who ever wanted to or is curious about making movies and videos using smartphones.\xa0\nYou can watch Cyberlante on Amazon now:\xa0https://www.amazon.com/Cyberlante-Gavin-Gordon/dp/B08K32P3WX\xa0 \nFollow James Smith:Twitter: https://twitter.com/jsmithwriter\xa0\xa0 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jsmithwriter/\xa0 \nLINKS:\nRaya Filmswww.RayaFilms.com\xa0 https://twitter.com/cspenceproducer\xa0 https://twitter.com/jsmithwriter\xa0 https://twitter.com/RayaFilms\xa0 http://www.facebook.com/RayaFilmsLondon\xa0 \xa0 \nCyberlantewww.cyberlantemovie.com\xa0 https://twitter.com/CyberlanteMovie\xa0 http://www.facebook.com/cyberlantemovie\xa0 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10063580\xa0 \nSurveilledwww.surveilledmovie.com\xa0 https://twitter.com/SurveilledMovie\xa0 http://www.facebook.com/surveilledmovie\xa0 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7336284\xa0 \nCurrent Film Project not shot with smartphones:\xa0https://rayafilms.com/castingkill\xa0 \nOur Links: \xa0\nSmartphone Filmmaking Publication on Medium: https://medium.com/smartphonefilmmaking \nSubscribe, support and listen to bonus episodes and more on Patreon: http://patreon.com/sbppodcast \xa0 \nSBP Podcast Website: http://sbppodcast.studio \xa0 \xa0 \niTunes/Apple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/sbp-podcast/id1296673665 \xa0 \xa0 \nVideo and Film Streaming Distribution for Smartphone Films: http://mobilefilmstories.com \xa0\xa0\xa0 \nInternational Mobile Film Festival Website: http://internationalmobilefilmfestival.com \xa0\xa0 \nFacebook: http://facebook.com/sbppodcast \xa0\xa0\xa0 \nTwitter: http://twitter.com/sbppodcast \xa0\xa0 \nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mobilefilmsd/ \xa0 \xa0 \nSusy Botello on Twitter: http://twitter.com/susybotello\xa0 \xa0\xa0 \nSBP Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4ISEF0SZOLyRpw2
