Oh, neat. I really like the convenience of shooting things on a phone. You don't have to take a bulky camera with you anymore. There are even feature films shot on an iPhone now.

I think this simply looks like professional quality to the layman's eye, and it certainly does to me. There's no sin in being proud of this.

There are pros and cons to phones vs cameras. I would LOVE to get different lenses to shoot with, but once you start down that road it's a whole other level with investment into gear, a change in your portability, and a huge improvement to cinematography quality if implemented well (whether people notice or not).

I am proud of it, understanding there's room for improvement. Despite my extensive experience I also learned over the 5 days, about my phone, gear, working with amateurs, and appreciation for professionals. I could have spent a couple more days on it to fine tune things folks would never notice unless compared side by side, but we had no time and it wasn't for pay. My next one will be better, as will the one after that, and so on. The better the quality, the more "professional" it will seem. Eventually I may even build up a new promo-reel to share if I want to resume my career and pursue work - if I can't make a go of it myself.
