Smart Phone Archery Videos. Seven Tips to Make Great Archery Videos. Improve your Archery and Bow Making Videos using your phone. Seven Tips. Do you want to make an archery or bow making video for Youtube, Facebook or Instagram? I give you seven tips to help you make great video with a cell phone / mobile phone. Smart phones are now in almost everyone's pocket, so why not use them to record your passion for archery and bow making? I take my Apple iPhone 7 into the fields and woods with my English yew longbow and medieval style arrows to demonstrate seven tips that I know will boost your video making technique when using a phone. I discuss camera support, light, audio, composition, time lapse, slow motion and storytelling in film using iMovie and Android film editing mobile apps.

I'm Mick Grewcock, retired from business and now self-learning the arts of longbow- and film-making. Join me in my light-hearted quest for knowledge as I learn to combine the ancient craft of bow-making with digital videography and film making - I'd be delighted to have you for company on this bizarre journey combining digital and primitive technology.

I have a deep passion for the medieval English longbow - the bow that earned its fearsome reputation during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries on the ferocious battle fields of France and England during the One Hundred Years War. It is an iconic weapon - and to this day, exudes heritage and awesome power.

Lots of bow making on my channel - do browse, view, like comment and subscribe. I have videos on making yew, hazel, elm and blackthorn longbows as well as many others related to primitive and instinctive archery, target archery arrow and bow making. In my videos you will see and hear what it is like to self learn bow making. I am self-taught as a bowyer and still learning every day - sometimes I fail, sometimes I succeed; but I'm always learning. I also explore the UK's rural landscape, sometimes in search of bow making woods, discovering survival skills, sometimes in search of the glories of this landscape. Do subscribe if you'd like to join me and influence what I upload and create more videos.
