You may not be Steven Spielberg, but your friends and family may think so after you tap into any of these super easy ways to make a movie on your phone. I was inspired to write this article after recently receiving a great question from Jeff from Lady Lake, FL. Here’s what he asks:
Hi Kurt,
My wife is thinking of doing some short videos (5 – 8 minutes) and will probably post on YT and/or Rumble. She plans on using her phone (Android system on MOTO G) to do this. My question is, what are the best free video apps to install?
Thanks!
– Jeff, Lady Lake, FL
