Lately, I started sharing my prototypes on Twitter(x, whatever) and have enjoyed the process. The positive feedback I received from viewers…

How to film an aesthetic demo of your prototype

if you’re shooting with a camera, try going for a faster shutter speed. in the past i‘ve always filmed with an iphone (stock camera app) and fiddled around with the auto exposure (make sure to lock it) and adjusting the target‘s device brightness.

If we are going to find a solution, I'll share it as soon as possible. I think the issue might be related to the new OLED screen on the latest iPhones.

I tried to do this, for example, but it doesn't always help me for some reason — https://www.jfdigitalmedia.co.uk/how-to-stop-lights-flickering-in-your-iphone-videos-with-pal-format/#:~:text=Capturing%20high%2Dquality%20videos%20with,switching%20to%20the%20PAL%20format

the reason for the flickering is a mismatch between the camera’s shutter speed and the display’s refresh rate. your older iphone 11 has a 60Hz display whereas newer models have up to 120Hz — so you’re more like to run into issues if your shutter speed isn’t aligned

I’ve collected a few notes about creating demos of my prototypes. Recently, I’ve received a lot of questions about my filming process, so I’ve decided to share these notes with you ✨

Great, yes please share more if you find the solution! I recently shoot some demos on iPhone 15 and my Dell monitor and blindly adjusting shutter speed sometimes helped, but wanted to better understand how this works :)

(you can also try locking the device‘s refresh rate to 60Hz in settings. although I never tried that myself…)

Really enjoyed reading your article, definitely a good muscle to build. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks a lot! I'm looking forward to sharing more details about Project Powerful and Project Beautiful very soon! ✨

I shoot similar demo videos but I often struggle with flickering issue on screens. Do you have any tips on that?

Love this! Your videos and prototypes look great 👏 Also love everything that’s been happening with Craft lately, really excited for Project Powerful 🚀

Ohh I just saw your reply - thanks for the tip!! I usually take videos with a camera and it’s cumbersome as I only realize there’s a flicker when I move things to my laptop 😂 Maybe I should keep this in mind and go with higher shutter speed for those videos

Hey, thanks for your question! I've noticed this issue with the latest iPhone/iPad models, especially with the most recent versions. I'm working on investigating this with a few motion designers who have more expertise. That's why I'm using the iPhone 11 Pro in all of my videos.
