I am a 1 woman band and all
Of your resources on YouTube and all the socials, I just soak up! Hope to meet you at SALT!

Thank you so much.
However the majority of our church content is captured in low light or of people in building. I would love to see a similar video examining that type of church videography.
Thanks again for everything you invest in helping us do this better.

very helpful and insightful... thank you

First to comment.

Thank you Brady for helping church media.

Would you have a version of this video for an android such as a Samsung or Pixel? My whole church tech team uses android so I get tech help if I have an android phone myself.

Thanks for this video especially the quick blackmagiccam tutorial. I hope you enjoyed your visit to norway; i've recently been there last year too. As a german guy, norway is not too far away from my home country. I really enjoy your videos for the tips and hints for improving small church social media content like mine. Just a quick question: Which microfone are you using for the excellent audio in your videos?

Greetings 😀

Again, thanks for this awesome content. GBU!

[atharrys]

wow Brady just gave so much game in this video 🔥

[timpalmqvist]

Great having you here in Scandinavia🙌🏼 Hope you enjoyed some Swedish meatballs and a Swedish fika with cinnamon buns while visiting, it’s mandatory😅
Superb video, always learning something! Even tho it’s great with the handles or a gimbal I think the iphone performs very well handheld, especially with 60fps setting on.

I rarely comment on videos but this was exceptional Brady. Great content, helpful, simple, useful for local churches, creatively explained, full of value, well-paced. Just absolutely spot on - keep it up!

[melissaevans]

Thank you, thank you for explaining not only these accessories but also explaining the various alternatives to working around using the equipment you already have and the resolution/storage setting that will work for each! Valuable! Valuable! Valuable!

Absolutely nuts that a phone can help make something that looks that good.

[MotoPupMolly]

Great video - what did you use for your high arial shots? I liked the clarity of those.

I had a chat with some creators on Threads about the native ISO for Apple LOG. The only clear consesus I got was to shoot lower ISOs to reduce noise. Nice to see you all did some tests to figure out some specific numbers.

I'd also add for anyone that's interested in that FilmBox to also give Scatter a try (another plug-in from the same folks who made FilmBox). It allows you to artificially mimic literally any lens filter out there (ie. Black ProMist, GlimmerGlass, Black Satin, ). I imagine that would also be cool to add to iPhone footage.

[TyroneLT]

Does that SmallRig case come for the iPhone 15 Pro and not the Pro Max? I don't see just a Pro version.

[michaelreynolds]

I'm noticing some halation on the shots at the park bench. Did you guys add a mist filter to the rig?

Hey Brady,

What if we don’t have an iPhone that has Apple Log? How should I use CST in DR when Apple Log isn’t on iPhones 14 and Below?
