Shooting on the iPhone has become more of a directors’ tool to lower inhibition of first-time actors and nonprofessionals.

That’s the biggest thing. Sean Baker
I might be ‘Candid Camera’s number one fan. Michael Carbonaro

A lot of people have experimented with hidden cameras and magic before. What I do, which I think is different from any other style of prank or hidden camera, is that it’s all fun.
