Mobile Movie of the Week: “The Maroon Jumper” During the Covid era, Necessity has given birth to many inventive movies. For obvious reasons these are often dark. But comedic storytellers have long known that humor can be discovered in the worst of times. A perfect example is Philip Pugh’s very funny FaceTime movie, “The Maroon Jumper.” This short comedy is the current Mobile Movie of the Week. You can see it and read a fascinating behind-the-scenes interview with the director (@philm_maker) at MobileMovieMaking (link in profile). #mobilemovieoftheweek #filmcomedy #facebookmovie #lockdownmovie #smartphonemoviemaking https://www.instagram.com/p/CDH702Tp_Wu/?igshid=1gc7ejj9kck8n

Tip 206: INCLUDE DARK EMOTIONS IN COMEDIES. Memorable film comedies usually (perhaps always?) include unfunny emotions, such as fear and anger. Think of the mob killing at the start of “Some Like It Hot” or the nightmare memories in “Airplane.” Like the bitter flavor in bittersweet chocolate, dark moments in comedies create contrast that magnifies the humor. The frame here from “Sad Sachs” captures a character's response to a scary encounter. Directed by @JoelPerlgut the prize-winning short comedy has been chosen as a Mobile Movie of the Week.

Tip #205: SHOOT CLOSE-UPS IN A CAR. The temptation when shooting in a car is to point the camera out the window. That’s fine. But experienced filmmakers know that taking close-ups in a car can create memorable images. The general rule: Shoot close-ups everywhere. This frame is from “Sad Sachs” directed by @JoelPerlgut. The film took the top prize @SF3Fest, and it was chosen as a Mobile Movie of the Week.

Making of “SNOWBRAWL” David Leitch (@David Leitch)—who directed Apple’s popular “Snowbrawl” commercial—said that he hoped the video would motivate views to make their own smartphone action movies. However, motivation can take you only so far. Filmmaking also requires technical knowledge. Enter Blake Calhoun (@watchblake), who has created an entertaining 17-minute “Snowbrawl Gear & Shot Breakdown.” Calhoun’s clear and detailed analysis covers a wide variety of issues including lighting, slow motion, sound, snow and fog effects, and choreography. It’s definitely worth watching more than once.
