On this week’s episode, I’m rejoined by Bart Weiss to discuss the evolution of the iPhone-shot movie from Tangerine to 28 Years Later and his recent book, Smartphone Cinema: Making Great Films with Your Mobile Phone. You have the power to make a movie in the palm of your hand: will you use it? If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend!

This is a great episode. I have been having fun playing with iPhone cinema for awhile now. This is a short I made half a decade ago. I went with iPhone since I had absolutely no permission to shoot a film at this comic book convention.
It turned out well enough but had I used the mics talked about on this episode, along with the new iPhone 16 audio tools, and Premiere Pro essential sound tools it would be far better.

This iPhone shot film was done two years later. We made it as a proof of concept for the feature “I Agree With You” that I discussed with Sonny awhile back.
Two years after the film above and you can see some of the improvements. Again, had I shot it and used the audio tools available now it would have been different.

Again, really enjoyed hearing what Mr. Weiss had to say.
I continue to ponder why a reviewer of visual arts continues to produce audio only podcasts, especially as I have seen Mr Bunch on other Bulwark videos and he does just fine. Please give us some talking heads, a few stills, and the occasional video clip.
