Back in 2021, I TA'd a Video Production class virtually, and one of my tasks was to find mobile camera apps for students who didn't have camera-cameras at home.

Back then, I was demo'ing:

#FilmicPro (the legacy, one-time payment version, shortly before they, you know... 👀)

#OpenCamera

#Protake

This week, in addition to #BlackmagicCamera, I also discovered/tried #mcpro24fps and #MotionCam.

I'm curious to get more advice / opinions / recs on #AndroidFilmmaking #SmartphoneFilmmaking

What do people think of #BlackmagicDesign further expanding their mobile video game by releasing a video recording app? (already available on Apple AppStore) With #FilmicPro being under the yoke of subscription now and all of BMD's camera expertise this could have serious ramifications... @Marcsettle @dermedientyp @laurentclause @WytseVellinga @bjoernsta @MartinNutbeem @SomeGadgetGuy

#blackmagic vient de sortir une chouette app caméra sur iOS. Gratuite, c’est une très bonne alternative à #filmicpro avec son modèle par abonnement. C’est dispo pour le moment que sur le store US.

This is what happens when you fuck over your customers who paid for your app and all the add-ons, and go to a $60/yr subscription with no warning, with all the functionality locked behind the paywall. Just look at the reviews *from the last 3 days*.
