Shenzhen – October 28, 2026 -- A ten-video smartphone filmmaking masterclass built around the vivo X500 Pro Max goes live on November 9, 2026, taking learners through the making of one vertical Reel from first shot to final export.
The course comes from Kolder Creative, the platform of filmmaker Sam Kolder, and follows the global launch of the vivo X500 Series. It consists of one introductory video and nine lessons, all built on the same project.
Kolder walks through every stage of a vertical Reel
Kolder covers native camera controls, composition, footage selection, editing, sound design, color grading and export. He shoots in vivo's native camera app and demonstrates Log recording for more flexibility in grading. He also shows how frame rate and shutter settings change the look of movement, and how neutral-density (ND) filters help control exposure.
