This course teaches the video fundamentals and how to make great video story with any smartphone. The instructor shows examples shot with the latest models of phones, but also includes tutorials that feature older models. This is intentional. If you are specifically looking for tutorials that feature the iPhone Pro Max, or deep-dives into LumaFusion and Filmic apps, then you may prefer these two courses: "iPhone Filmmaking: Travel Video & iPhone Photo & Videography," and "iPhone Filmmaking for Beginners: Filmic Pro & LumaFusion app."This masterclass in filmmaking is designed to teach the evergreen techniques. The method for learning the language of video and filmmaking storytelling. You will be able to learn the art of filmmaking with any smartphone that you happen to own. "Once I started the course, I could not quit until I had completed it. Each segment was interesting, informative, creatively presented and edited with precision. I loved the course and learned a lot from it." Randy HendricksThe instructor has won 21 international film festivals with documentaries shot with an iPhone 6S+. That is validation that the techniques shown here work in the real world."Wow! Great content! One of the best courses I have taken!"Danny SparksWe know people hang on to older models of smartphones and also many people can not afford the latest model every year. You will see humble Samsungs and iPhones used in many of the tutorials in this course and that is intentional. The key thrust of this masterclass is to help people learn that the 'music is not in the violin.'This course is perfect for beginners like myself. Great tips and useful tools to help me create quality videos.

Excellent tutorial.

By Rik Danielsen on 11/7/2020

This course was advertised as for beginners. I feel the instructor is very knowledgeable, but he wants the student to get much more advanced apps to make films. I want to begin by learning how to use the apps that are "native" to the phone I have.

By Jinal Patel on 8/24/2020

Honestly, I would first like to start off by saying, 'Thank you very much to Manush Sir, who is the best tutor on this planet. He encouraged me to try this program out, and I am very glad he did. This course has helped me boost my filming and editing career, by a total of 90% and higher. So I am so very lucky to be able to participate in this.'
Therefore, overall, I just can't wait to take my career in filming somewhere great when I am older! :)

There were a few principles that I knew already, but it was nice to see it all put together in a course. I would have liked to see more information on using the programs, but to start off with, it will do.
