What a treasure trove of great cinematic ideas. It’s almost like an entire filmmaking course boiled down to 10 minutes of pure gold. As always thank you and a big thumbs up for showing us how to make the most with the least. If all you’ve got is an iPhone - then that’s all you need for stunning work. 👍🏻

Hi, Benett. It is helpful to see from your videos that the same smartphone techniques for B-roll apply no matter your environment and scenery. This is a great series, thank you!

[@sevrin1965]

Hi, love your video's, super easy to follow, how did you achieve the slow zoom in when you are filming the time lapse sequence of the bridge? Many thanks in advance!

[@BenettGraezer]

I used keyframes inside Final Cut Pro to animatr a zoom in

[@PatsonTek]

Thanks alot Benneth Because of your videos i've been able to creat some cinematic videos myself. They are not perfect like urs butter am proud of what am i have been able to creat through your lessons. Once again thanks.

[@FYI_Channels]

amazing explanation and crystal! may I ask you a question? why record at 4k 60fps instead of 4k 24fps? thank you

[@BenettGraezer]

Thank you! 4K has the highest resolution which means the video quality will look better and 60fps allows me to slow down the footage which also makes the shakes less apparent when shooting handheld :).

[@walkwithrenjith1338]

All your classes are so good...thank you

[@BenettGraezer]

You are welcome!

[@MickV08]

Good content! Informative. Learned a lot from just the tutorials on your page from a newbie. Conveying something complex (to me anyway) to a more simple terms/process, laying the groundwork. Thanks! Keep it up!

[@BenettGraezer]

Great to hear!

[@TheFandangovideoguy]

fantastico! I just got the iphone 15 pro max and I will carry it with me all the the time so I have a good camera to use anytime...I don't intend to make movies for Netflix so I don't need the top quality but I will use the blackmagic app with Apple Pro res LT and maybe maybe LOG so that I can grade the footage after but otherwise, even regular 709 is fine-your footage shot with the 14 pro max is great. I will consider maybe a gimbal like the insta 360 flow but for now I will keep things simple. This is the main reason to have an iphone handy- for everything else I have bigger cameras

[@BenettGraezer]

Like you approach. Using the Blackmagic app for Apple ProRes LT and LOG will certainly give you flexibility in the edit for color grading while keeping the file size small. The Insta 360 Flow is a good idea, I enjoy using it . Have fun shooting!

[@jesustalkpodcast365]

Bro, I stumbled over to you yesterday. And you have been such a blessing in explaining everything right on my level! I appreciate you and I can't wait to get started. THANK YOU SO MUCH, God bless you!

[@TheFrenchiesMotorhomechannel]

Hi Bennet , great informative video as usual but can i ask where this was shot please , such a beautiful city thanks Mike

[@BenettGraezer]

This was shot in Zurich

[@shaye2k]

Great work! Question, how are you maintaining focus on your subject as you move in and out if you are locking the focus? Example at 26 seconds.

[@BenettGraezer]

Thanks for the great question. For this shot I left it in auto since I did not have much camera movement involved. If I would tilt up or have something pass by close to the camera the exposure change would be to obvious. Sometimes you can get away with the auto function :)

[@ChiangRaiandBeyond]

Thank you! I will use these tips for my channel 👍

[@BenettGraezer]

Great!

[@pacogarcia000]

Hello Benett, once again a very helpful tutorial. Good job, keep it up. Looking forward for your next video

[@BenettGraezer]

[@jorgeduarte2438]

Hi 👋🏻 Benett, I have a question: How can I slow 🐌 a scene if my video was recorded in normal camera mode? I've seen different videos from your channel that you have slow scenes and you didn't film them in slow motion, can you teach me how to do it, please?

[@JohannesLee]

Cant wait to try them all!

[@BenettGraezer]

Awesome!

[@mohammedshamiri3689]

im wondering how do you stabilize the video during the edit, talking about the bird clip, also do you shoot in 60fps and then change it to a different fps during the edit to make it more cinematic?

[@BenettGraezer]

I use post stabilization to make the shots looks smoother, and I stretch out 60fps in a 25fps timeline to create that slow mo effect which also helps makes the shot steadier.

[@PhillipLearnTeach]

It will be good if you can show the editing process, like how you edit and cut and what to keep and the app use to edit and publish. Thanks!

[@BenettGraezer]
