Mobile Filmmaking with Andy To — Shoot Cinematic Travel Video With Just Your Phone
The gist: A video course from an iPhone filmmaker Apple itself has tapped to showcase new phones, teaching the exact gear, shots, and edit workflow he uses to make travel footage look cinematic.
- Travel-tested gear list: covers the lenses, gimbal, and accessories Andy actually packs, plus why he shoots mostly on the native camera app instead of a third-party one.
- Shot-composition training: walks through how he frames and moves the camera to get a cinematic look on location, not just in post.
- Bonus Japan shooting guide: includes a location-specific guide plus his top 5 gimbal tips and a custom LUT for color-grading iPhone footage.
- Shot entirely on iPhone: every lesson is filmed on his phone, though he notes the techniques carry over to any camera.
PhotoWorkout's roundup of the best iPhone filmmaking courses names this one "Best Overall for Smartphone Filmmaking."
Best for: travelers who want their phone footage to look intentional instead of like random clips. Skip it if: you already shoot on a dedicated cinema camera and gimbal rig — the phone-specific workflow won't add much. Runs ~$25 — check the current price before buying.
