I just released a new course, Cinematic Storytelling with a Smartphone, which covers the fundamentals of cinematography (composition, framing and lighting) shooting with a smartphone.

I've been experimenting with new (cost-effective) tech every since I began working as a filmmaker and that continues today using iPhones... Back in 2001 I shot & directed a film shot on Mini DV.

With the introduction of the iPhone 17 Pro series phones Apple quietly added Apple Log 2. So how does it differ from the original Apple Log?

It's that time of year again where I pick my favorite gear and tech from the past 12 months.

I didn’t just want Casey Makes a Mixtape to be set in the 1980s—I wanted it to look and feel like it was made in the 1980s.

Whenever a new iPhone is released everyone who owns third-party lenses always worries about whether or not these expensive accessories will work with the latest cameras.

Congrats. You've made a movie. But that was the easy part. Now you've got to sell it.

If you've followed my YouTube channel or this website for a while then you know I wrote & directed a feature film, "Casey Makes a Mixtape", and that movie is now ready for its close-up.

Now with the iPhone 17 Pro Apple has really leaned into the pro aspects by including 4K ProRes RAW, open gate capture (using the full 4x3 sensor) and even genlock.
