Can anyone tell me what apps they're using? I'd love to play around with a green screen, but don't have much budget either

#12Africas tech talent is on the rise, it's quite interesting to see as even 10 years ago it was still hard for them to get access to cheap computers and internet.

Blender, I suppose, just as the article says.

#15Kids making movies by remixing copyrighted content and perhaps shooting some more is the topic of Pirate Cinema by Cory Doctorow. Pretty good book that explores the social implications of such efforts.
What’s the TLDR?

#16They use Techno Phones [0]. It's really the leading telephone in my country back in Africa to the point my wife refused me to buy her a Samsung one. :D You find those phone have really nice camera, and most importantly power consumption that can span at least 2 days... Peoples complaining that China is just copycat-ing stuff do not know how China is influencing peoples in developing countries. [0]: https://techcrunch…
China is well famous for its hardware remix culture. They get a bad reputation for copying unique inventions without regard for IP agreements and foreigner expectations.

#17Impressive! I wonder what they're using for video editing and vfx? Blender is great for 3d assets, but what open source software can make this?
Recent versions of Blender can also do video editing and vfx. They're probably also using Blender for that

Not just recent versions -- I just checked my old copy of Blender 2.49b (built on 2009-09-01), and it has the Video Sequence Editor.
