iPhone Filmmaking

By Anonymous
Today this trailer played as an ad before a YouTube video I was about to watch:


This trailer is from new film Unsane. It piqued my interest because it's from one of my favorite filmmakers Steven Soderbergh. He is the director of the Ocean's movies and last year's Logan Lucky. After researching it a bit I found out the entire film was shot on an iPhone 7 Plus! This is not the first feature shot on an iPhone, but I was surprised because I could not tell. I've been fascinated with the concept of making a movie on an iPhone for a while because it means that anyone can shoot a movie with the equipment they have in their pocket. Soderbergh said that from now on he will shoot his films with the iPhone. Over the last year, I have been using my phone more and more because the quality has improved with each generation. These are some of my favorite shots that I have filmed using my 6s:

















After watching Sean Baker's Tangerine (2015), the first movie filmed on an iPhone, I read a lot about how they got the most out of the camera quality. Baker and Soderbergh both used an app called Filmic Pro. The app costs $10 and it allows the user to manually control the shutter speed, iso, white balance, etc. You can read Soderbergh's interview about making his new film here.

    That makes me think about trying to make a movie on a phone.

    I love using my phone for photography and this just goes to show that filmaking is accessible to everyone!

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

IMPRESSED BUT YOU CAN DO MORE Apple......

By Anonymous
FOR THE UNINFORMED: Mrs. Shields may kill me for how long this post to the blog is, but she can deal with it :P Alright... I just want to state that I love Apple to death and get that out of the way but I AM GOING TO RANT for a little. Apple introduced the new "iPad Air" to the world today, among other things. The starting price for a 16GB silver OR black iPad Air is $499, and if you want 8x the storage with the 128GB version, it'll set you back $799. To put that into perspective, if you were to buy a 2.3GHz Mac Mini that has a quad core Intel Core i7 (the fastest processor Intel makes, starting at the i3, i5, and then the i7), 4GB of DDR3 ram, and a 1TB hard drive, it'll set you back $799. So you can buy a pretty very good Mac computer (I have one at home but better haha) or a new iPad. Anyways....  The iPad Air weights only A pound (yes one pound), is only 7.5 millimeters thick (Apple advertises that by saying 7.5 millimeters THIN), has a 9.7...

Bye For Now DMA

By Anonymous
      Well since I'm a senior, then this is probably going to be my last blog post. Next year, I am going to do the Digital Design program at the Warren County Career Center for college credit, so I'm still going to do some DMA stuff after graduation. It's been very cool to be making cool stuff here and I'll miss you guys and I know your going to miss me and my dog Max.
