Yep. very inspiring. This article goes into more detail.
We used to get several "Best Camera" questions a month. We don't seem to be
getting those much. Maybe first timers are getting the point that the camera doesn't
matter. It's the dedication and talent that makes a great short film.
These guys prove it. Good things can come to filmmakers anywhere.
Which they only got AFTER they proved how much they could do with just about nothing.they also needed funding (ie, charity) from wealthy donors.
I get the impression you didn't read the article. As mlesemann pointed out,Very true. But they also needed funding (ie, charity) from wealthy donors.
Thanks, Rik.I, too, found the quality of their short films very good. I think the quality compares
very favorably to "Hollywood" films. And the quality is only getting better as they
grow and improve.
For me, the inspiration comes from watching them get better with each movie. These
kids have drive and talent and just did it. And it's paying off.
To belabour the issue, if their smartphones are as good as Hollywood cameras, then why use Hollywood cameras? I'm asking to learn, not to be a troll, thanks.
Thanks, @Nate North and @CelticRambler. So a smartphone shot would not look good on a movie screen. Would the same apply for a TV screen? I'm asking because the shots do look good on my mac desktop.
OK, so how would that answer my question?Most TV have a youtube app. you could bring it up and see for yourself
Well, a smartphone camera isn't as good as pro camera. When I saidThanks, Rik.

It’s not that I would say that the iPhone footage looked “good,” (although often it did); it’s that it looked “right.” The iPhone’s naturally saturated and contrasty look fit the material to a tee, and Sean’s energetic and visceral shooting style matched the story and the characters’ anarchic lives perfectly.
