Shot on iPhone 15 Pro Max | Sci-Fi Short Film in 4K HDR

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks for all the comments. A full breakdown/settings/grading of behind the scenes video is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnmtiqRsetOUg9E

Nice. Keep it up.

Amazing

You should go on. Very nice job

walking scene is too long

[@ahfound404]

woaww, Is Superr!!.. just forget lock AF😅

[@BlakeRidder]

This was my first HDR film, what do you all think?

[@anweshcreations6607]

EVERAGE

[@ndotl]

I think a sunset would be a good HDR test. Back in the day, I had to take my A1 down one f-stop to capture one 'correctly'. I will eventually get a modern camera when I start taking vacations and will use your gear as a reference guide. Sony just came out with a camera that provides light from the image to all cells in the sensor simultaneously. So there is no tearing on quick camera movements.

[@nxtcine.1054]

I really like the film. Your first HDR 🔥🔥😮‍💨. I really love the results. But the only fault I saw was with sound design, I know it’s tricky haha. But it didn’t really drive me into the moment I thought I would go in the way the movie started. Sound drives us to what you’re trying to tell us. Like fear , But this hard some a little emotional mix taking me in and out of it. In simple terms. It was smooth in design But other than that…. The film is GREAT BRO.

[@elliotalderson2479]

I feel the phone captures a weird fake “HDR” probably by capturing one overexposed then one underexposed image for every frame then live mixing them together because the motion feels weird. Considering the tiny size of the sensor it’s probably upscaling stuff and has weird compression artifacts that tend to surround iPhone footage. The color grade you did was great the concept is great and camera composition and blocking was great it’s just a limitation to that specific camera itself. Would be interested to see you do a film with an HDR workflow with a pro cinema camera.

[@ndotl]

@@elliotalderson2479 There is nothing "fake" about it. Using one camera to capture high intensity light and another camera to capture low intensity light is how real (i.e., movie grade) HDR is accomplished. That is what I learned in a masters level CG course I took about 10 years ago. Phone-camera artifacts are a byproduct of the small lens size and lack of processing power in the video processor. Sony just released a camera where there is zero latency between the cells in the sensor. This should reduce many of the motion related artifacts.

[@MrSamPhoenix]

The fact that this could be done with a device that fits in your pocket is astonishing.

[@SyxthSynth]

That AND with something that costs a smallll fraction of what big movie producers use. With internet, texting, calling, games, music, etc haha

[@floatingrabbit3556]

By the time you rig the iPhone to achieve this, it will no longer fit in your pocket.

[@SyxthSynth]

@@floatingrabbit3556 I think Sam is referring to the quality potential. Not saying/assuming that you can just take your phone out and make this instantly

[@uekvowzkaebbzuvrgipqxhemmwbhe]

@@SyxthSynththis literally looks like he just did that

[@SyxthSynth]

@@uekvowzkaebbzuvrgipqxhemmwbhe this entire KZbin video is edited. The video output does not look like this. There are enhancements and color grading in the final product to give it the “movie look”. You can’t just whip your phone out and get this exact look without that stuff

[@lost_boy5086]

The colour grading needs applause

[@BlakeRidder]

👏🏻

[@BrilliantStupidity.]

This is the most cinematic look that I have seen in any footage taken with this device. You have set a new standard for me. This is the level that I am trying to achieve. Your work is amazing, ass well as the color grading. Magnificent job my friend.

[@BlakeRidder]

Thanks so much

[@kunaljankee5585]

I think this is brillant film making, this prove once again,its never the equipment, it's all the people's effort put behind this work !

[@dreamteammediahouse2609]

It's still about equipment. Iphone 15 is about 30K where I live and a high-end editing computer is about 20K. Equipment is everything.

[@ilqar887]

And fps is different i think

[@abdelrahman_salah88]

The coloring is perfect , better than many movies 👌

[@anoopnambrath5251]

Cant believe it was shot on a phone. Great work! Waiting for BTS. Thanks for building confidence.

[@PatrickMastersProductions]

There has never been a better or more affordable to be a creator. Your visuals are stunning. GREAT WORK!!!!

[@BlakeRidder]

Wow, thank you!

[@AshutoshKumarRai-zw2ol]

Hi blake! The ending music was like intersteller. Got the nostalgia feeling.

[@kdj7904]

In addition to equipment like this, it's nice that the rest of the elements were made with great care.

[@cvaderx]

The move at 2:49 is futuristic when we consider the content of similar scenes in modern horror movies...Bravo!

[@pglazzari1]

Looks really good. I love seeing how good of image you can get out of the iPhone.

if there was POV with some weird distorted vision of the monster could have added more! Crazy to think can shoot a short on a phone nowadays!

[@crepisfilmes]

Nice work and beautiful cinematography.

[@Clutchmillion77]

Great framing and composition, love the sound design. The talents were really good. I know smart phones are getting better with their cameras but it doesn’t compare to a full frame cinema camera. Focal lengths, aperture, lighting and lenses play a big part in the production quality of a film. I made my first film with an iPhone 11 and this looks similar to that, but once I got a fx6 visually there was a night and day difference.

[@wiebkescantick947]

Absolutely loved this! You have an incredible talent and your actors are all amazing. I accidentally found you yesterday and can't get enough.

[@sonidojamon]

Nice one! Looks like SDR to me, though! Watching on my 16" M1 Max Macbook Pro. Did you upload to KZbin as HDR so you get a higher bitrate/video quality? I also notice the "choppy" framerate issue I get with my iPhone 15 Pro, even when filming with 180 degree angle on Blackmagic Camera app. Do you know why this happens? Thanks!

[@BlakeRidder]

Hey. It’s definitely HDR. You can see it has the HDR icon in the player when you select which resolution on KZbin. Not sure about the choppiness I’m afraid.
