Niles Grey is a filmmaker and director with experience working independently and on the content teams at both GoPro and Moment. His work at GoPro and Moment has given him a unique experience leveraging the every-improving technology found in small cameras, most recently, mobile phones.The Question“What attracts you to these little cameras?”The NotesThis week we discuss the benefits of shooting films with a “small footprint,” as Niles puts it. While mobile phone photography and cinematography are paces behind what industry professionals use for major productions, the technology is advancing and shrinking at an incredible rate. With a little help from small hardware add-ons and apps that give users access to manual controls, people like Niles (and really, all of us) can create content that defies the expectation of such a ubiquitous piece of technology.In this episode, we also hear a little bit from Able Parris (AKA: Kamuter). Able makes music entirely on his iPhone, furthering the idea that mobile phones can be used for so much more than watching movies or playing games.Create With Your PhoneThe Moment AppThis one works with iPhone and Android.
