DSLR & SMARTPHONE CONNECTED FILM-MAKING – MASTERCLASS

How to use your DSLR and Smartphone together to shoot better and faster broadcast quality video

Which is the best camera to film with, a Smartphone or a DSLR? They both have their advantages, so how about filming with a DSLR and Smartphone connected together. That’s what this course covers, combined DSLR and Smartphone filming and editing. It’s a game changer, so sign up now!

We’re right at the dawn of a new revolution, greater than the social change created by Smartphones, so you cannot afford to fall behind your competition.

​As I travel around the world I’ve noticed three things.

One, that many small multi-media newsrooms and media departments already have DSLR cameras that are very much under used.

Two, that photographers that are now being asked to shoot video as well as stills are feeling they’re unable to do both well.

Three, that those using DSLR’s think using Smartphones to film is cutting corners and compromising quality, whilst those already filming on Smartphones think DSLR’s are old fashioned and can’t do anything a Smartphone can do.

Who’s it for?

This course is for anyone from beginners to established photographers wanting to move into video.

It’s for budding amateur filmmakers to established media content creators wanting to learn how to create better quality video with their DSLR and Smartphone.

WHY YOU NEED THIS COURSE

The solution to all of the above is to use both together, connecting them wirelessly and using them out in the field as a joined up film making solution. I’ve seen and taught this way of working for quite some time now and it’s the film making equivalent of turning up at Saturday afternoon street race in a Formula One car.
