FiLMiC Pro LOG + iPhone XS Max = Incredible Dynamic Range 🔥

[@darwintrinidad5294]

I felt tremendous amount of peace inside of me while watching this. Your framing and grading are really awesome.

[@haohuynh9704]

I felt at peace immediately. Thanks for this

[@Epictutorials]

Thank you!

[@phillipcsandoval9094]

Hảo Huỳnh , I Agreed 100% with you, but then I over analyzed and started thinking living in a bubble and totally outside the real world ... Thank you!

[@SamSine]

Man, forget about Filmic Pro, your movie just really moved me. You just told a touching story through your lens. Seeing the lady talking to the younger lady on the bench makes us reflect on life and what's important, spending time with our loved ones, simple things that matter. Back to technology LOL, I just felt the skin tone a bit too orange-y to my taste, it distracted me from my emotion watching the video :) Oh and obviously, clever choice of music!!

[@EVOlutionHTC4g]

All I can say is, WOW! That turned out better than I thought it would on this phone.

[@AdaptedStudios]

Did you use any ND filters during your day shots? Footage looks so nice

[@HOANGDUNG-Sept1962]

I am really convinced by the beauty of the videos you have made. I decided to immediately buy an iPhone XS Max like your smartphone, purchase Filmic pro, cinema kit and film looks. My first shots brought me a great satisfaction. Thank you for showing your videos and helping me make the right decision.

[@Epictutorials]

Thanks so much for sharing this. Glad these videos help.

[@jpr-tech]

Awesome video! Really shows the power of the iPhone's sensor paired with great software. Although, some clips (2 ladies in the bench) were a little over saturated for my taste. Still enjoyed the music and scenes! Thanks for sharing. I actually uploaded my test (iphone 7+ | FilmicPro LOG) recently as well.

[@synthsforbreakfast]

Very nice! The reason you reduced the horizontal resolution from 4K to 2554 is only to correct the horizon? Or there is another reason for that?

[@kp66udv]

This is previous version or the latest LogV2? Nice footages, thank you! I'm also interested to see comparison between iPhone XS original camera app's footage vs footage shot with Filmic Pro app (LogV2 itself, and also graded the LogV2 to look similar as iPhone's original app's footage, to see how the dynamic range improved).

[@Metaldetectiontubeworldwide]

Nice footage althought a bit oversaturated for my taste ...

[@pubmsu]

This one is too oversaturated indeed!

[@graphguy]

art is in the eye of the beholder.. for nature... saturation can be the effect desired.

[@Metaldetectiontubeworldwide]

@@graphguy well said , thats why i say for my taste 😉

[@graphguy]

@@Metaldetectiontubeworldwide You are right... and not wrong :) When I saw the grandmother/daughter bench scene...woa...too saturated. That is one area, that saturation can destroy...skin tones.

[@Jcmtagency]

@@graphguy agreed, i felt the same. That's the problem i have shooting with the iphone, so colors are just screaming straight out of the box

[@mrinal_boro]

Its so amazing that a phone camera can do that. The iphone's main selling point is definitely its camera. Also the video was shot beautifully and the grading was superb. So calm.

[@Epictutorials]

Thanks so much! And agreed. Mobile videography continues take massive strides forward. Imagine what will be possible just a few years from now!

[@Emsyaz]

Android phones can shoot better videos at cheaper price

[@martysgarden]

Just sensational,,I shoot with an ipad pro about to move into an iphone xr using filmic pro. I am really into this whole new look and feel we can get on iphone a few lenses,,cool apps etc...and about shoot a whole series where I visit local gardens in Australia. So awesome,,thanks for showing us what can be done! Happy Filming/Gardening Marty Ware

[@adamvg5097]

I’m a bit new to the camera settings but when you say 4K 100mbps is that in 24 FPS or 30 FPS ? Video looks great!

[@Chezame]

Wow looks amazing I guess filming in 4K really helps with sharpness?

[@brianmaxim]

The more tests I’m seeing the more I want to jump from an iPhone 6s. The OIS seems to play nicer with gimbals as well. Give it a couple more years and the devices will have enough power to process a 4k video in ‘portrait mode’ -the compete mobile camera?!

[@brianmaxim]

from the little i know of it, i believe the OIS has been improved in the latest iPhones and the videos i've seen are a lot less jittery than the X

[@kjones3212]

I just turn OIS off on my iPhone X when using the DJI Osmo mobile. OIS does some weird stuff to your footage on a gimbal.

[@SocietateaAscendenta]

Not really a difference in camera quality, do not waste your money (just) for the camera... But, I think it is too late for that, or?

[@matthewsachaullymce279]

even if you compare 6s with 6s Plus you can already feel the significant difference as 6s Plus have OIS while 6s is not

[@Martin_Moore]

Love it man! I just shot a commercial for Koss Headphones on my Xs Max. How do you like Filmic Pro? I’m thinking about getting it.

[@superrmrcool]

Amateur question... Did you keep the true tone display on or off? or does it not make a difference? This video just made me want to go out and shoot a lot more now on my new XS max

[@Epictutorials]

That's a great question. I believe I left it on because it doesn't affect the final image recorded - however it may lead to inaccuracies when setting white balance if not careful. I just used the 'daylight' preset so that wasn't an issue.

[@Epictutorials]

And yes go shoot! You have one hell of an incredible video camera.

[@RichLackey]

Wooooow! Beautiful work Elliot. As Kevin said... Gorgeous!

[@Epictutorials]

Thanks very much Richard! And for those interested make sure you see what the XS Max is actually capable of in the hands of a real pro: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lanPq3hmrquMf7c

Fantastic. The new iPhones have incredible dynamic range, but the 6s Plus is still a beast of a device.

[@hindesite]

Wow, nice; looked kind of familiar, but to include Rimutaka Hill, Martinborough and Eastbourne (where I live) was just extra special. Good job.

[@Epictutorials]

A beautiful part of the world. And Eastbourne is gorgeous - was just there again today.

[@hindesite]

@@Epictutorials You should see it on a nice day! We're very lucky to be able to live here, close to the capital, yet isolated, with bushwalks immediately outside our back doors, and seaside on the front. Excellent MTBing down the coast past the lighthouses, with lakes and spectacular views. Martinborough is a bit boring but the coast and Cape Palliser are easily reached and are spectacular, lots to see there.

[@dakju8034]

Cool! Do you have any videos on how to record on an iPhone, while video conferencing someone in? I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this but couldn't find this exact topic in your tutorials. Let me know. Thanks!

[@KonoBoyFilms]

This is beautiful work. Very well done. Question - does one use the same steps to expose in LOG as they would normal HD footage? Thanks again for sharing your work.

[@Epictutorials]

Hi Samuel. Yes exactly the same in my case. I just expose for the highlights wherever possible to avoid clipping.

[@travelly1]

Nice footage. Did you shoot that at 24fps? Also did you use an ND filter in the bright sunshine?

[@Epictutorials]

Hi Ian. Thanks. I shot at 24fps, and for a few shots (mainly the two lovely ladies on the bench) I used the Polar Pro ND 16. Nearly everything else was without an ND.

[@SangahNoona]

Beautiful!!!

[@BrianTownsendFundy]

I expected this tutorial was also going to talk about the grading process to make use of LOG. Especially if it includes an all-mobile workflow, perhaps with something like LumaFusion on iPad.

[@Epictutorials]

I was just holding it and shooting through the windscreen.

[@actorboy381]

Beautiful shots. What shutter speed did you shoot at?

[@Epictutorials]

Thanks very much. They were all over the place. For a good number of shots, the majority of which were taken without an ND filter - we are looking as high as 1/6144! When I used my ND filter (shots of the ladies on the bench) that was more like 1/192 - but unfortunately no 180 degree shutter action in this piece.

[@usmanmajid8710]

@@Epictutorials Could you kindly explain why you chose to not use the 180-degree rule? Was this a creative choice, or because it isn't otherwise possible in Filmic Pro?

[@ashtindurae7176]

Usman Majid it’s because on the iPhone you can’t manually control the aperture on camera.

[@actorboy381]

@@ashtindurae7176 you can't control aperture on any phone, iPhone or Android, unless it has more than one lens or a mechanical lens.

[@nicolasgrilly]

@@Epictutorials Which ND filter do you use, and do you attach it to your iPhone?

[@skymakai]

Curious how you set exposure without an external monitor and waveform. It would be great if FilmicPro had a larger waveform display.

Never seen this until now, great job, but still feels like cellphone footage to me, can't wait for the 11 pro version

Stunning film, I'm super impressed by the XS Max! I wonder how the iPhone XR will get on with FiLMiC Pro?

[@Epictutorials]

I think it should be very similar, if not identical. Yet to test however.

[@groovtennis]

Did you use a tripod or any stabilization. Lovely video, very inspirational.

[@andreaturbolz3542]

Hi tanks for your video. Some videographers on KZbin say that Filmic Pro is still not “ready” to use all the potential of the new XS. Specially log profile has often problems in dark areas so flat profile can be better. So is Filmic Pro using all the “extended dynamic range” of the new XS? If not Is Filmic working on it? Can we see in the future a HEVC option also for 24fps 4K (with high bitrate...suppose A12 has enough power to manage high data flow). Tanks for Your and Filmic Pro great job

[@mannydrives]

Does this work for the selfie camera and can you change the frame rate to 24 fps on the selfie as well?

You (indirectly) answered my tweet, thanks! Does the Tennis Max (😂) extended dynamic range amount to more stops of light captured?

Yes I would say it definitely does. Although I need to do more testing to determine just how many more.

[@GlavenMaven]

Looking forward to see the results!

[@MaryKayUlsamer]

Off topic, but how do you close FilmicPro app on iPhone XS, iOS 12? I have to shutdown and restart the iPhone. Thanks in advance, you are the expert :)

[@Epictutorials]

Swipe the home button up once to activate it, then a second time to bring up the app switcher/return to the home screen. This is designed so as to not accidentally close the app whilst recording.

[@MaryKayUlsamer]

Thanks for replying - Great safety feature, but I didn’t realize that white horizontal line was the home button!

[@Epictutorials]

It is a system feature and the same across all apps. Nothing specific to Filmic Pro 👍

[@vebrucevebruce369]

stunning dynamic range out of a phone, i think it even surpass some of the the pro dslr for dynamic range wise

[@Epictutorials]

Yeah I agree. Really impressive for a video camera, period.

[@matthewsachaullymce279]

agree, the iPhone’s processor is waaayyy more advance than any DSLR, that’s why they can produce better images in which require processing, since they produce iPhone in massive numbers compare to dslr, so they become cheaper...

[@adhamsafihi]

What software do you use to downscale and make that widescreen look?

[@Epictutorials]

Adobe Premiere - but just about any editor will let you do that, including LumaFusion on iOS.

[@hydra6500]

Sorry if this is maybe a dumm question: if I shoot with FilmicPro in „Log“ and have in my Final Cut Pro X the FilmicPro LUTs installed (which are available for download) why are you saying in the beginning of this video „graded in Adobe Premiere with Filmconvert“ ? Why would I need this extra chargeable Plugin Filmconvert and what does it do for me ? I thought having the LUT installed is all I need ?

[@Epictutorials]

Hi Stefan. When I made this video the LUTs were not available. Despite this, you'd want FilmConvert if you want to emulate classic film stocks. Now I use the FiLMiC deLOG LUT as a starting point, then finish in FilmConvert as I love the film look it provides.

[@iamjiroe]

I don't wanna be the party pooper lmao, but for such a small sensor the wide "dynamic range" comes at a cost, which is noticeable denoised footage or either noticeable noise in the footage due to the gain increase in the shadows to compensate for the actual lack of dynamic range, and lack of detail. If you are buying the phone for the camera for non-pro videos I think it's good enough and the iPhone is incredible, if not the best. If you are into video making, obviously don't buy this, at that price range you already have an amazing camera from Blackmagic that destroys the iPhone camera into tiny pieces.

its possible to do this on any android phone. we always forget the power of the app store.

[@EVOlutionHTC4g]

I've tried to work with android phones and Filmic Pro, but it has always been a hit and miss. When I contacted the Filmic pro developers, they told me that most of the issues they have on making Filmic Pro compatible with android phones has to do with the Snapdragon processor. iPhones don't have that limitation, and so I switched to iPhone for that reason. Got tired of dealing with incompatible android updates.

[@Epictutorials]

It is absolutely possible. Most flagships released in last couple of years that support FiLMiC Pro also support the cinematographer kit in app purchase which includes LOG.
