iPhone Filmmaking App FiLMIC Pro is Now on Android | No Film School

People have been asking for a Google App version of FiLMIC Pro for quite some time, and now we've finally got one. If you've been following the news around the app, it was previously only available on iOS, and was actually one of the main tools used by the crew on the film Tangerine:

FiLMIC Pro allows all sorts of manual controls for shooting on phones, including locking and selecting the following:

Color Temperature
Tint
Exposure
ISO
Shutter Speed
Focus
Pulling Focus

You can also select higher bitrate recording, and a number of different aspect ratios, and also resolutions, depending on what your particular device is capable of. In addition, you have more control over the audio recording in the app.

Here's a recent example of a film that used the FiLMIC Pro app, this one was shot on the iPhone 6S:

Sigma DC DN Contemporary Lenses

Four New Sigma DC DG Primes are Here to Boost Your Canon RF APS-C Cameras

The RF lens market is heating up with four new Canon RF lenses being added to Sigma’s Contemporary line.

If you’re looking for lenses for a new (or perhaps well-used) Canon mirrorless camera, you’re going to be pleasantly surprised at the amount of options available these days. While the Canon R camera line is relatively new, so to speak, in the mirrorless market, there are now plenty of lenses to choose from for photo and video professionals alike.

The latest new lenses for RF APS-C cameras comes from Sigma with four new additions to the company’s Contemporary line.

Sigma has introduced new DC DN Contemporary lenses including 16mm f/1.4 DC DN, 23mm f/1.4 DC DN, 30mm f/1.4 DC DN, and 56mm f/1.4 DC DN focal lengths—which are set to combine with Sigma’s 10-18mm 2.8 DC DN Contemporary and 18-50mm F2.8 DC DN Contemporary lenses which were released earlier this year to give Canon creators more—and better, perhaps—options than ever before.
