Hollywood-Grade Mobile Video, Demystified

FiLMiC Pro V6 is the trusted choice of the BBC and filmmakers like Steven Soderbergh—a testament to what a smartphone can capture when you understand the tool. This course teaches mastery of that tool, transforming your iPhone or Android from a snapshot device into a cinema-quality camera.

You'll move beyond auto-everything to manual control over exposure, white balance, and focus. Learn to read histograms and use focus peaking for critical sharpness. The course covers essential workflows: slow-motion capture, preset management, wireless monitoring via HDMI, and color grading log footage. Practical demos show gear setups—gimbals, third-party lenses, the Cinematographer Kit—and how to transfer files efficiently for post-production.

Best practices bookend the technical training, from pre-shoot planning to on-set discipline. Updates include newer iPhone compatibility so your skills stay current.

About this course

FiLMiC Pro is the industry leading mobile video & filmmaking app utilized around the globe. This is the camera app regularly used by the BBC. Hollywood director Steven Soderbergh also used it on two of his recent movies! And the great thing is it's available for anyone and everyone to do the same using iPhone or Android.

In this guide we'll start with the basics of getting to know the app, then learn how to use it to shoot professional quality video with your smartphone.
