Screendance for Smart Phones

Episode Notes

These days, it is very common for most people to own some kind of smart device. Whether that be an iPhone, Android, iPad, or tablet, these handheld gadgets have become a reliant tool in our everyday life. And in this day and age, these pocket devices are one of the most utilitarian devices in a filmmaker’s arsenal.

From 4K camera quality, smartphone supported accessories, to the countless number of film and photography applications found in app stores, all are available to assist your one-person crew.

In today’s episode, we invite Mobile Dance Film Festival’s organizer, ANDREW CHAPMAN into the conversation, talking about the value of mobile dance filmmaking, how it is culturally relevant, and the accessibility in exploration for all aspiring dance filmmakers.
