Cell Phone Video Production: Essential Gear

Updated: Sep 1

The cost of entry (to video production) has never been more affordable. With a few tips and tricks about lighting and the slightest improvement in sound, you can create some pretty amazing content with just a cell phone. Below is a list of recommended accessories and equipment that can greatly improve the quality of your DIY, user generated, phone produced content.


If You have a cell phone then You already have camera department and post-production covered. (For post-production we recommend the VN editing app) - No affiliation. It is just the first app we tried that was user-friendly, intuitive and well, FREE.

VN is available for both iOS or Android users. Click HERE to see a tutorial video on "How to use the VN Editing App". (If there is no hot spot under the word HERE and it does not link, then the video does not exist yet, please check back soon. This is a work in progress)
