iPhone Cinematography 101 with Timi Akindele Ajani

Ends on

Got a Pro model iPhone and want to upgrade your filmmaking? 

iPhone Cinematography 101 is a free two-day intensive with award-winning filmmaker Timi Akindele Ajani, who shoots work for major brands and institutions on the same phone that is sitting in your pocket.

Across two days we will break down his full process: the fundamentals of shooting on iPhone, the pre-production and prep that makes projects professional, and the post production pipeline from edit through to colour grade in DaVinci Resolve. 

What you'll learn:

- The fundamentals. What your Pro model is actually capable of, how to take manual control of it, and the shooting decisions that separate footage that looks like a phone from footage that does not.

- Pre-production and prep. The unglamorous half that decides whether a project lands or falls apart before you have shot a frame.

- Post-production. The full pipeline from edit through to colour grade in DaVinci Resolve, so you leave with finished work rather than a folder of clips.

You will spend the two days at GGH, a working creative space, alongside other people making the same jump.

It is not about owning an expensive camera. It is about using what you have, properly.
