What? No third party app? No LOG? No conversion LUTs? No external SSD? No ND filters? No cage? Just you, your iPhone and some mad skills out in the field and at the editing booth? Thank you for keeping things simple and showing us all the real potential of iPhone filmmaking. 👌🏻

[@BenettGraezer]

Thanks a lot! Less gear more creativity 💯

[@MaiElizabeth]

Don't forget, he's still using the pro with more options to zoom. It should be the regular iPhone so that one left out with equal options of lenses. And .... iPhone 13 and older's cinematic mode is limited to 1080p too. Something to think about.

[@guiadeniteroi]

Dont forget the EDITION! 😊

[@degete1]

How nice is this explained, especially the way you have filmed. Thanks.

[@BenettGraezer]

Thanks!

[@OlivierHoine]

hello, great video. I really like your concept. I'm starting the video with smartphone and drone but I'm still struggling to find the story to tell with these 2 elements. In any case, I'm learning a lot from you. I'd love to see a video like this with real drone shots to give me ideas. Thank you and keep up the good work. PS: I'm French, sorry for the translation.

[@BenettGraezer]

Thank you! Is noted :)

Please do some video effect editing technique I mean masking transition Gibson hazard effect 😊

Do you using some color efects during edit ur videos?

Yea I use my mobile LUTs

[@BeComingNyrell]

4:17 I don't have the Record Cinematic in my settings is this iphone 15?

[@KarolinaMakeupTutorial]

For some reason the new 2 updates mess around with the recording … try any option 30 to 4K and see the video slowly with ur finger and u will there’s not smooth view 😪

[@glenndevlin7278]

Great stuff. I’m curious as to why you shot using 60fps instead of 24fps?

[@BenettGraezer]

Thanks! Not all shots were taken in 60fps some were also shot in 25fps. If i don’t plan on slowing down the video I shoot the video in 25fps (PAL).

[@glenndevlin7278]

Thanks - I'm deaf-blind and enjoy doing little videos with whatever sight I have left and this tidbit is very helpful!@@BenettGraezer

[@utah62]

Thanks for sharing. Since both you and I live in Europe (Switzerland/Netherlands), I was wondering why you shoot in NTSC, given that you choose 60 fps. Don't you encounter any issues with the flickering of a light source if you don't go for PAL? What fps do you use on the timeline?

[@BenettGraezer]

During the day it doesn’t really matter. Only when shooting at night I film in 50fps (using a pro video app) or 25fps. I edit on a 25fps timeline.

[@utah62]

Thanks. You mean the Blackmagic App?

do you use two iphones or a camera to record you when setting up the iPhone?

No for the behind-the-scenes, I use a Sony S73 camera :)

Can you do a tutorial on how to shoot car rollers?

Thanks is noted :)

[@Rcgravity]

When buying your PREMIUM MOBILE LUTS, can I use it on my iPhone 15 pro max? Or how do I utilize it?

[@BenettGraezer]

Yes you can apply those LUTs in an editing app like LumaFusion or CapCut, or even import it into a pro video app like FiLMiC Pro or BlackMagic to bake the look in to on you iPhone.

[@Rcgravity]

@@BenettGraezer OK sorry still a bit confused so download what app what app do you recommend so I can use your loot I’m about to buy it

[@Rcgravity]

@@BenettGraezer I have CapCut. Would that work with the free version of CapCut or need premium to use your lut there?

[@QasimMuhammadzai]

The only thing I am confused with is choosing the best VND and CPL filter for iPhone 15 Pro Max I know there many brands like Sandmarc, Freewell, Moment and Polar Pro but which brand is the best for shooting videos especially Cinematic and photography ? Thanks alot

[@BenettGraezer]

I’ll be making a video on it soon :) stay tuned!
