Filmmaker uses iPhone to animate Lucas and Lynch

There are plenty of people out there who never tap into their iPhone’s filmmaking potential. Sascha Ciezat is not one of those people.

Sascha whipped up one of the coolest animations we’ve seen come off an iPhone. In short, Sascha took recorded audio from a conversation with David Lynch, and animated to it using a $.99 app called iMotion.

Have a look!  Get inspired!  Make Movies!

Shang-Chi Director Directed From His iPhone

I enjoyed reading this brief ScreenRant story, so I thought I’d share it here. It describes how Destin Daniel Cretton, the director of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings, was forced to direct an important scene via his iPhone while in the hospital for the birth of his child! Sadly, it doesn’t divulge the details of that unusual workflow, but it’s an excellent reminder that we’re all toting the world’s most versatile piece of filmmaking gear in our pockets and purses!
