Even with a DSLR camera in hand, this Hot Docs volunteer preferred shooting an interview on her phone! If you want to get your videos online fast - why bother with a bulky camera when you could shoot simply and upload straight to social media from your phone? #CutTheCameras

After a virtual trip to Italy, we’re now in #Reykjavík Iceland (for real!) to train musicians, lecturers, and Syrians 🇸🇾 in the art of smartphone filmmaking. Stay tuned for more Nordic adventures from the team... 🎒

Our first course with the Icelandic Musicians' Union hit all the right notes 🎶 We even got some bonus insight from music guru Anna Hildur on the #Eurovision Song Contest! 🎬 #MadeWithKinemaster #ShotOniPhone

In our second course, we taught lecturers and staff at Bifröst University how to film pieces to camera and interviews 🏫 Then we showed them how to green screen and edit using KineMaster. #MadeWithKinemaster #ShotOniPhone

We travelled to North West #Iceland to a town 30 miles south of the #ArcticCircle! 🥶 #Ísafjörður with Anna Hildur. A great start to our workshop with storyboarding and filming using Filmic Pro || Firstlight || DoubleTake || Remote and #OpenCamera 🎬 #creativity #stories
