Here's How You Can Win the World's Most Flexible LED Light | No Film School

At its core, the Westcott Flex is a compact and hyper-durable LED lighting system that comes in several different shapes, sizes, and color configurations. Not only is the whole system incredibly light and portable — which makes it a fantastic lighting solution for location shooting and for tight spaces where traditional lights would get in the way — but it also promises extreme color accuracy with a CRI of 95. The only issue is that these lights don't come cheap, as they range anywhere from $300 to $2000 apiece. Luckily, Story & Heart are giving away a 1'x2' bi-color Flex Light (as well as a one year membership to the Academy of Storytellers) right now.

Here's the video from Story & Heart, which not only introduces the contest, but which also provides a handful of clever ways to use the Flex Light on real productions.

And here's a more in-depth look at the Westcott Flex from the good people at Adorama.

If you're interested in entering Story & Heart's Flex Light giveaway (the winner will also receive one year of free membership to the Academy of Storytellers), head on over to this page, scroll down to the bottom, and enter your details. Good luck to you all, and godspeed.

28 Years Later iPhone

Why Did Danny Boyle Shoot ‘28 Years Later’ on an iPhone 15?

Here’s everything we know about the reports of the new ‘28 Years Later’ thriller being shot on an iPhone 15.

Move over, Sean Baker and Steven Soderbergh—Danny Boyle is the latest director to make the bold choice to shoot his latest feature film on an iPhone. Why, you ask? Partly, perhaps, because the team knows it will get them some nice headlines like this one. And partly just because they can.

Whether you love or hate the idea of shooting professional video on iPhones, it’s hard to argue that these latest smartphones aren’t capable of high-end video.

The iPhone 15, which is what Boyle and his team reportedly used for the long-awaited follow-up to the original 28 Days Later in 2002 and its 2007 sequel 28 Weeks Later, in particular, has proven to be a major step forward for Apple and was very much promoted as a filmmaking-capable camera.

Still, as is always the case with these smartphone-shot feature films, there’s more to the story than just the headline here. So let’s explore how Danny Boyle and his team were able to shoot 28 Years Later on an iPhone.
