Wich apps can help you produce a documentary on mobile?

Following long used apps + recommendations from @MarcSettle at @MoJoFest + selfsearching, I edit 10 short episodes of #ProyectoSuárez, a documentary series (watch 👇🏻)

youtube.com/playlist?list=…

This is how i did it /1
#mojo
I used at least 17 apps

Most part of the job was made with just two:

@FiLMiCPro for filming on iPhone 7 + iPhone 12pro

#LumaFusion by @LumaTouch to edit 95% of the +30 minutes story Image
I used the other 15 apps for specific purposes

☑️ Effects, transitions
☑️ Intros, outros, posters, graphics

The list 👇🏻

Picsart
Snapseed
Hype Text
Canva
8mm
IntroMate
MegaPhoto
Coloursplash
Typewriter
Fontasy
Myheritage
Touch Retouch
Capcut
VoiceRecord
Colorize
Photomyne Image
#LumaFusion by #LumaTouch allows to create advanced animations and transitions based on your creativity

Importing some icons, playing with shapes an keyframing you can, for instance, create an animation similar to an incoming message voice in WhatsApp, as you can watch here ▶️
The menu to the right includes all the elements used to create the Whatsapp’s voice message animation. Image
Using #LumaFusion along with other apps you can go further (and sometimes in less time)

This part was made with the app 8mm to achieve the old movie look while the transition with the other clips was made with #LumaFusion
Using @TouchRetouch plus #LumaFusion you can animate an old picture and turn it into a video. Watch the result and a link to how I did it
With @Capcut or @TouchRetouch plus #LumaFusion you can erase someone or the background and, for example, blend them with other clips
With ColourSplash you can selectively colour or turn into B&W parts of the same picture.

After doing so, I used Snapseed for adding text and the frame ImageImage
Deep Nostalgia is a tool from the app Myheritage

It animates old pictures

Thanks @LenND1 I heard of it.

It seemed interesting to me as the story is about a photographer -Constantino Suárez- borned in 1899. Maybe I could give him life…

I tested it and this is the result.
The app Typewriter, another recommendation from @MarcSettle is very useful for titles and intros.

I used it to introduce each episode

The free version has a watermark. You can remove it paying two euros per month the time you need it
Apps like Photomyne or Colorize allows you to colour B&W pictures. ImageImageImage
With Picsart (sometimes used along with or instead of Snapseed) you can create posters or promotional stuff ImageImage
With Megaphoto you can easily creat a nice intro or outro as it has many many templates

(Thanks @MarcSettle for letting me know about Megaphoto. It saved me loads of time)

Music chosen from Youtube audio library, a valuable resource for free music
From IntroMate I took the template for this animation. Adapt it to my purposes took much much less time comparing to what it would have taken to edit it myself
Hype text has lots of templates for animated titles and graphics.
So you just need to choose one…
Apply your project’s colours and fonts in the same app… (Hype Text)

And finally take it to #LumaFusión to add sound effects so it stands out at the end of the outro Image
And this is it
Regarding fonts, Fontasy is a great app to choose from tens of different options.

Once you select your favourite, you can imported it to #LumaFusion to write titles, credits, subtitles…
For credits, I used the blending mode in #LumaFusion plus a template to turn an image into an old picture ImageImage
I also used other apps for resizing or convert pics.

And tried more impressive apps as Effekt or Videolicious that finally I didn’t use… by now.

Sometimes the most difficult thing is to find the right context to use them so they fix and adds to the storytelling.

I’ve been at @mediaprodshow @mojofest

A handful of ideas pointed:

▶️ By 2030 everyone will wear AR glasses, a real computer

AR is a powerful tool to tell immersive stories

@weareseen_ by @YusufOmarSA and @snap_sumaiya empower people to use it to tell their stories
▶️ A serious story can make a viral video.

TikTok can be a propper platform for important stories.

Don’t address TikTok audience the way journalists tell news in tv

@sophiasgaler @VICEWorldNews
▶️ Working as a one man band, be aware:

🟢 You don’t need to master every role but…
🟢 You need to be ready to wear different hats
🟢Be mindful of your strengths and weakness
🟢keep curious (and keep learning)

0/Fui a las 🏝#Islas #Galápagos🐢 para una semana

me quede 1️⃣5️⃣ días

Y ahí seguiría, si pudiera 🤿

▶️Esto es lo que vi/viví/escuché y aprendí

Relato ilustrado (con el 📲#mojo) de un #viaje que te mete en una

burbuja de🦎#naturaleza #conservación #sostenibilidad #animales🦈
1/La burbuja crece mientras asciende

estalla al contacto con su objetivo

Desde el fondo del #mar, quien la ha lanzado desafía al bañista

Sube, gira sobre si mismo y vuelve a la carga

Sonríe para la foto. Amaga con tragarse la camara

Después, se va. Ágil y veloz. Como llegó
2/Es la rutina bajo el agua

Te sumerges y aparecen

Te meten en su burbuja. Te sacan de la realidad

Se está bien ahí. El mundo no pesa Image

During #lockdown I used @lumatouch to edit on my #iPad 15 to 25 minutes stories each week for @asturiassemanal, a @RTPAOficial #TV show

This was the workflow we designed overnight to work from home.

A workflow we partly keep in case we need it again in the second #covid19 wave
At work, I used to edit on a PC with @Adobe Premier: an average of a 35’ to 40’ minutes story each 3-4 weeks.

We changed to focus on #covid19

At home I had an iPad Pro 9’7’’ 256 Gg with @lumatouch

I use it 6 weeks until I updated to an iPad Pro 12,9’’ 1 Th to gain capacity
The raw material changed also.

Apart from .MXF files filmed by my colleague with a #Sony FS7M2, we received files shot by our audience (as seen on the pic) with our guidance or by ourselves with the phone (.mp4 and .mov), GOPRO or whatever.

New thread on daily #mojo tips to report from home during #coronavirus crisis

📱You need someone to film him/herself at home?

(1) 👫Ask if there are more people at home and if they have two phones 📱📱

Tell them to use the best and more modern phone to film

⬇️⬇️ go to (2) Image
(2) Make a whatsapp videocall (or similar) to the second phone 📲

👁 Ask them to show you the place 🏠

🎥 Help them choosing the background for the interview taking into account light, framing 💡🪑🖼

🧍‍♀️Show (and try) the kind of shot you need for the interview

⬇️⬇️ go to (3) Image
(3) Once they know the kind of shot you need, ask them to grab the best phone & hold it exactly the same way, at the same distance and framing 📲 to record the interview🎥

☎️ keep the first phone call active and tell them to place the phone close to the other

⬇️⬇️ go to (4) Image

5 tips to produce a story at home to keep safe from #coronavirus

#1 Speak on the phone with the person the story is about.
*Identify key parts of the speech
*Ask him/her to film the soundbites with the phone following instructions (below) or record the interview on the laptop
Ask him/her to follow these basic #mojo instructions:

*Film landscape (#TV)
*If he/she is with someone, ask the other person to film him/her
*Keep the phone still or place it somewhere to avoid shaking
*Clean the lense before filming
*FILM LANDSCAPE Telling once is not enough
Ask to film around 4 to 6 clips in 2 sequences, including at least:

*General view of the place with the action taking place
*Close-up of activity
*Clope-up of object of person important to the story
*Repeat (if possible) doing with another activity

Ahora que el teléfono móvil se ha convertido para muchos en la única herramienta que les permite seguir informando, es momento de asumir esto: #mojo Image
Grabar, editar, transmitir con un móvil no es una solución para situaciones de emergencia. Lleva haciéndose una década para aprovechar las inmensas posibilidades que ofrece la cámara del móvil. Alrededor del periodismo móvil hay una comunidad de más de 6.000 profesionales. #mojo Image
Hay congresos #mojo en Europa, América, Asia y África. Hay libros, tesis doctorales, universidades que lo han incorporado a su oferta educativa y profesionales que forman a redacciones de todo el mundo. Hay accesorios y apps que lo convierten en una herramienta profesional. ImageImageImageImage
