Filming A Wedding With The iPhone 15 Pro - Wedding Filmmaking Behind The Scenes

[@kwabenaoppong1269]

I am a wedding photographer based in Ghana and yes you cant tell the difference unless you really pixel peep. I used my samsung s22 ultra to take some wedding group photos and they never knew the difference. Phones nowadays are very awesome and powerful

[@JHChannel35]

Loved this! You should film a wedding with the DJI Osmo Pocket 3. Larger sensor and you can do great crane and ‘drone’ shots with it.

[@o0OmrmusicO0o]

but bad software..

[@thefilmalliance]

I knew you would do this eventually. Man your shots are so good. Love the point of using the iPhone 15 Pro in a pinch and it wouldn’t look weird compared to phones of the past. Great video Matt

[@lorid847]

A lot of the shots looked great! But I noticed a lot of noise when it was at the 120 that didn't seem professional-looking (around 18:45, 22:25-35 and 22:44), and that is the problem I've had with iPhone video. No matter what, the lack of a large sensor (still only 12 mp on the 120 lens) seems to cause that noisy video that doesn't look great, in my opinion. If it's going to be useful for video, it can't just use a 48 mp sensor on one lens and still use 12 mp on the others. That's the same size sensor that was on the iPhone 8+. So if only one lens is an upgrade to the sensor out of the three, I don't see how this can replace the great video a mirrorless or dslr can get with better sensors. But maybe that's just me.

[@RubenArroyojesussaves]

The amazing thing about this video is to show that an iPhone could at least get some work done. Although i think in more controlled settings the iPhone can do great things… but like you stated, I would stick with my camera. Phones have started a game change but not to the extent of super Max quality and control.

[@alexv8203]

Awesome video Matt! Congrats to the bride and groom!

[@alexv8203]

So if you had to choose one would it be the 3x?

[@AlexDeo.]

From the start of the ceremony shots, I was teary eyed! Awesome work, been following you a while, been rocking the RS3 Mini by your influence shootng a wedding with it and have been super happy with!

[@KoreanBronze]

I think the Normal Pro is better for filming since the Tele on it is closer to 70mm

[@whoismatt]

Would be very interesting to test

[@chriswithersphotography]

Nice video. Was really hoping to see the final edit at the end.

[@whoismatt]

It’s a separate video on my channel :)

[@AustinWestbro]

Now film a wedding that you’re contracted to shoot on an iPhone and deliver it to the client. Bet you won’t.

Matt, I’m almost sure that the BM Camera app does not change lenses during recording. They do a digital zoom while recording of I’m not mistaken. That explains the quite lower quality in image on the zoomed images. Try that out after. Record the same scene changing the lenses while recording, and one that you stop the recording, change lens, and record again. See if the quality will be better on the 120mm lens

[@YanniVelez]

I had the same issue with the DJI OSMO Mobile 6 - So I just exchanged it for the DJI RS Mini 3 and it worked flawlessly!

[@MrDNE007]

I did this like two years ago at a wedding already! Main reason was that my camera stopped working at the venue. But turned out that in some cases the phone camera (iPhone 11) delivered really good footage for that purpose.

[@paulshawbailey]

I think you can actually pull back on the bokeh in cinematic mode within Final Cut Pro in editing. It’s a setting. I’d be curious if that does anything.

[@jordanshipley448]

This is correct 👍

[@himsxoxo]

REALLY BRO?

[@aaron.harrell]

When you watch it on your phone, it looks fine. But when you put it on a larger screen, you can see the image start to fall apart and you get some weird artifacts in places. The amount of noise in the low light shots from the reception was significant.

[@yamikanikatunga1749]

What I would love to see is a top creator like you use extra lenses on the iPhone and see what creative flexibility you come up with. Telephotos, wides, macros... all using the main lens with moment or whichever company lenses on top. Make it happen Matt.

[@edfox6921]

Matt. I'm not a wedding guy but, "The rotating barrel of lenses" I use is the Tamron 35-150 for my sony a 7 siii. - Thanks for doing the review on it. It was the deciding factor : ) I love all your teachings : )

[@sameo2634]

Matt, were you able to capture the vows at all at that distance during the ceremony? No use of anu\y external audio recorders?

[@xelpi]

matt, wow i love this minimal setup, do you consider doing a "wedding content creator" video? thank you for showing this 🥰

[@joejov]

What are editing tools do you use? And can you give a references for gimbal?

[@asledzinski7]

Think you should try this again with a cage two hand grip rather than everything on the gimbal, throw in a moment or sandmarc 58mm lens for the focal length shots you're missing. Were you using the cinematic mode to get more bokah?

[@devinemoments]

oh my gosh cant wait to see how this turns out!

[@aefilmsweddings]

Per the hot swap lens idea, there was a company in 2019 I think it was that was working on a 3 lens 'turret' inspired by older bolex cameras called Vertigo, where you could rotate it and get a new focal length in seconds, but I'm not sure if they are still for sale or not.

[@03cobrah]

Ty for this video. I hope you make more with the iphone 15 pro. Just started digging into the video settings since i bought the phone and its hard navigating the photography world as a newbie

[@tizianomammana]

Cool video Matt! That phone open a new era of filming weddings in my opinion, not right now but for the future for sure. What camera setting you had on filming outdoor ? I've noticed some slowmotion and I was wondering if you recoded in 30p or 60p cause I know the iphone switch in 4K 60FPS only with external recorder (SSD). Can you confirm that?

[@HolzmannMedia]

Did you do it in spatial (3D) video?

[@LovePatience32]

Did you mic anyone up?

[@lindenv]

Hey Matt, loved the video. Just FYI, the Musicbed coupon code doesn't seem to be working.

[@itiswhatitis-yes]

Damn this is wicked!!!

[@ghost.whisperer467]

Wich mode you used on the gimbal for filming this ? Iam a bigginer phtographer and i will film a wedding… so can u give me some advices .. and wich mode should i make ?

[@foxhouse_tips]

Looks like a good company to my A7SIII and 35-150. It will be a handy 24mm pocket cam with good stabilization for some wide shots

[@socc3r7k1ng]

What ISO were you using & did you shoot in LOG and did you bake in the look if so? You have the case but did you use the ND often? Did you turn off the stabilization on the cameras since you had a gimbal? This may have relieved some of your issues with jitteriness. There have been tests (even those I've done) that do show that you do lose a lot of sharpness and some latitude with h265, it's not necessarily the same but does save on space. Obviously the 350gb would not be enough for ProRes HQ. BTW there is a 2x lens but the BlackMagic App doesn't support it yet, there are optically only 4 lenses, the rest of course are digital as you know.

[@SeanHelmsMedia]

He said he shot in h265 and no nd filter.

[@socc3r7k1ng]

@@SeanHelmsMedia yeah I see that. Wasn’t questioning the h265 part. If he was shooting at the better ISO and Log i feel it may have been needed at times.

[@FFTuk]

I have heard that you have to turn off inbuilt stabilisation on the IPhone when using the insta360 flow. Is this true and how do you turn it off? Thanks

[@michaelsalt9685]

do you have a video on taxes or how to run the money part of wedding videography business in Texas?

[@bigsmoke6872]

I'm glad you used 3 lenses of the iPhone. Some other youtube guys are afraid and just bound on the main 48mil. You broke their boundaries. You're great man. 👌

[@DillonHiggins]

Main cam is actually a 26mm wide, 2x is 48mm

[@APPLE1TO1]

What settings did you use for size and frame rate.

[@whoismatt]

4K everything. Frame rate was a mix of 24fps, 48fps, and 60fps.

[@ghost.whisperer467]

Did you filmed it with the black magic app ?

[@whoismatt]

Yes

[@stkuj]

Pro-Res LT is good too....

[@MOTOTRIBU]

hello sir, im planning namag diy rin ng prenup namin, at nainspire ako dito sa prenup nyo.. may external ssd po ba kayo na ginamit?

[@Myndsetfilms]

Didn't they ask for your cameras?

[@MINDSPARK-u6e]

_I would have given the couple, a slight dreamy gloom specifically to them_

[@zaiddagamseh]

1:09 I did not know that Matt was CAKED!

[@PatrickMastersProductions]

I do not know why app developers are not integrating Apple's Cinematic Mode into their apps since Apple made it available to all developers at WWDC. I wish Blackmagic would implement this into their Camera app so we can still have all of the manual control but the ability to use Cinematic mode and change the focal point in FCP like we can now.

[@whoismatt]

I think they may need a bit more time. Hopefully Blackmagic will add it.

[@PatrickMastersProductions]

@@whoismatt BM, I agree but other camera developers have had the ability since June. It's mind boggling how none have adopted it as of yet.

[@epiclifenb]

Really cool Matt. You are so creative and I love how with this video you show how you can do things without breaking the bank. Lots ideas from this video.

[@Teh_Chosen_Juan]

how'd you get the osmo clip to fit on the max with your case? i have a slim case and clip still doesn't fit on the my max (using an osmo 4). don't like taking the case off and on! :'(

[@waynosfotoscameras]

Remarkably decent footage, I see how "content creators" are getting traction in the industry. Hmmm at the end when switch back to your studio, you can see the difference. Most clients don't care about noise etc, as long as you got the moments. I still think, if you have the better gear, why not use it? You are there anyways? Thanks for the demo Matt.

[@aeronperez]

Please make a review about the Lumix S5 iiX... PLEASE! 🫸🫷

[@LahmProdutora]

What is the photographer's name?

[@LMNDZ513]

Matt..cool insight...if the rumors are true are you excited to see if Apple does indeed put Sony sensors on the next iPhone 16?..like the the actual Sony Xperia phones..lol and wonder if Apple would get the eye, animal AF then?..lol

[@whoismatt]

Apple has been using Sony sensors. Would be cool to see the Xperia sensors in the iPhone

[@petersciretta4979]

Just so you know shooting cinematic does not bake in the bokeh. You can add or remove the bokeh afterwards and even change what is being focused on or completely removing the bokeh. That said I’m guessing this means it shoots the footage with a higher f stop so you can choose after the fact and that’s not optimal especially in lower light

[@IainAnderson]

This is right - you can change the bokeh effect with the phone itself or with FCP in post. The big problem is that you can't shoot Log *and* Cinematic Mode at the same time.

[@hughchal]

Cocteau Twins totally rock

[@bokbokeh]

Never seen you with glasses before! Very hipster look 🤭🤩

[@munishkumar82]

Hey Matt it’s lovely to see BTS. Can u plz show us ur sound design process of any film that you’ve shot??

[@eliazar98188]

On a phone screen it looks great!!! But on My 55in tv it looks good in day light but The telephoto looks kinda jerki. Inside de venue it does not look good at all. And The telephoto really falls appart. 😢

[@jeromebonifacio9441]

I have DJI OSMO but i dont have iphone wish i have an iphone for good quality of filming

[@DanteJDM]

*phew. My job is safe 😄 It was a fun video & experiment! Edi: It sounded like two audio tracks playing simultaneously in a few parts of the video

[@anam170]

Low light shots are a bit noisy.

[@AimingAtYou]

There are these things called zoom-lenses...

[@Allthingsvadya]

did matt lose weight?

[@whoismatt]

💪

[@OSKVIDCreativemedia]

Yes, i also wanted to say that. Clearly can see. Looks 10 years younger

[@Graceaboundingstudios]

Hey Matt, hope things are going well for you! Thank you for inspiring many filmmakers in the KZbin world! I just wanted to bring something up, in that I can see you're a caring person. I'm a Christian and a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, since He saved me I don't want to see anyone go to hell, but everyone go to Heaven. I hope, that you have repented of your sins and put your faith in Jesus to save you. You've probably been asked this before, or even told this before many times. No one can enter Heaven by good works, and no one on earth is considered good in God's eyes. His standards are total perfection, like lust is considered adultery, hatred is considered murder, which makes us all guilty. But those who trust Jesus finished work on the cross, recognize their sins and repent of them, they will find rich mercy and eternal salvation! I hope this is you and everyone else, God bless you and keep up the good work!

[@TheThaiLife]

The indoor noise is a deal breaker for me. The color quality... yikes. The gimble spazzing.... yikes again,.

[@RÔMA-K181]

just iphone 13 = iphone 15 pro :))

[@ayopoetikvisuals8474]

I saw where the footage fell apart on a bigger screen. But nice overall.

[@adobelightroomyphotoshopen8437]

Why is the 2nd shooter dressed as if she is going to the beach? Be comfy but respect the etiquette of the wedding.

[@craighoward71]

I hope you understand that your customers don’t give a damn about bokeh. I fact, when they see it, they probably think it’s a photographic flaw. Bokeh is a photographer’s conceit.Sorry, it had to be said.

[@michaelbell75]

Pretty cool but the telephoto lens on the Pro is only 77mm, the Pro Max is the one with the 120mm. Cinematic mode is much improved in the 15s and would have looked better than the shots with zero DOF IMO. I have tested the BM app vs the native app using ProRes and there is no comparison IMO. The BM files are way smaller because it's not shooting ProRes, you are just shooting in log. Nice for color grading but you are getting 1/4 of the quality and losing all that extra DR and the benefits of shooting in ProRes. The indoor footage was super noisy. Id never give that footage to a bride and groom. I love my iPhone but since shooting 6K open gate with my new S5II, Ive become a bit of a snob 😃

[@mercadofamily7403]

The correct product would be a dedicated video camera.

[@rMr.big13]

Sorry man the dr his isn’t there….. kinda lame …. Picture falling apart too….. hard no

[@StellarGround]

Really, Matt? We can’t raise our prices if you’re championing cell phone footage. Undermines the entire industry.

[@harryvuemedia]

oh mang, the iphone footage is cringy. Glad ya shot the wedding with an alpha camera too. The footage is great enough to view on a small display. Anything bigger, you can see the less contrast, less sharpness, and all them noises. I once had to shoot a wedding with my smartphone and will only do it again is if the bride & groom has no videographer there. The smartphone is very easy to handle with a gimbal but the amount of charging I had to do is jsut fudging insane. Good thing i brought a portable charger. Otherwise, smartphones will always be the best for those candid moments.

[@errolsmith5634]

Yep! There goes his sex life.

[@himsxoxo]

well not that impressive

[@JoeVazquezProductorMusical]

Bro you are a master but man, don't damage your image as a professional wedding filmmaker by using a stupid phone with "Pro Res" when you know that those small lenses won't have the quality or dynamic range like a Sony A7S3, Fx3, Fx6, Blackmagic etc etc etc. Don't make videos to create content with everything that comes on the market. I put myself in the feet of the couple who married that they paid you to do a masterful job as you know how to do and you used a cell phone whose quality clearly looks disastrous, a lot noisy and low resolution. Anyway is your channel and your clients but in my case I would not do that to a client of mine, I use my pro tools and I give them something like they deserve. Cheers and Greetings.

[@stevenneaves8079]

I mean he clearly said he was tagging along with a friend who was a videographer who was actually paid to shoot the wedding on his cameras. It was an extra and test content. He’s not putting his reputation at stake trying something new. If we never tried anything new to see what the bleeding edge was, we’d all still manually focusing 8mm cameras

[@niemandschuldet]

Ok. uhm... NO!
