Welcome back to CNET Australia‘s guide to pocket film-making. The Pocket Filmmaker, Jason van Genderen, will be showing you how to turn the smartphone in your pocket into a camera capable of shooting video projects that are worthy of sharing with family and friends, online and even with the judges of some of Australia’s biggest short-film festivals.

Jason’s projects have been shot on the Nokia N95, Nokia N8 and Apple’s iPhone. In 2012, he took home first prize in the Telstra Mobile Masterpieces category at Tropfest Sydney for his film The 53rd Hour.
