Why "Shot On iPhone" Commercials Look So Good! Ft. Claudio Miranda

"Clean your lens... Choices matter... Do your homework... Be fearless..." This video is outstanding and inspirational. Thanks PJ.

Makes me want to go out and buy a new iPhone to shoot my videos. Yes, inspirational is correct.

[@Wildest_Wahoo]

Can’t forget about “do less drugs than the people around you”. 😂😂😂

[@AngryDraconequus1]

More like: mount the iPhone in a bigger rig or on a gimbal to minimize camera shake, shoot with a manual control app, shoot at low ISO, choose shots VERY carefully, control your lighting, shoot Apple Log in ProRes HQ, color grade. iPhone is not magic, it still has a tiny image sensor so low light performance is gonna be pretty limited (high noise) - which is why you need to control your lighting to get enough light for the sensor at low ISO - regular indoor lighting likely isn't gonna cut it. The dynamic range of the iPhone is also limited - which is why you should choose your shots carefully and again control your lighting - you need to get the exposure right on set because you will not have a lot of wiggle room in post.

The statement about cleaning the lens is SO relatable. I'm a TV pro and people always ask why my phone camera shots look so much better. 90% of it is just hitting it with a lens wipe.

00:01 🎬 Apple commercials shot on iPhone often look professional and clean, but achieving that quality requires more than just the camera. 01:00 📱 Proper lens cleaning and understanding lighting are essential for achieving good results when shooting on a phone. 01:43 🪜 Cinematographer Claudio Miranda emphasizes the importance of understanding lighting and camera settings for creating a visually appealing image. 03:39 📽 Production designers play a crucial role in setting the scene and collaborating with cinematographers to achieve the desired visual aesthetic. 05:33 💼 Claudio Miranda's journey into cinematography started with various roles on set, demonstrating the value of hands-on experience in the industry. 07:56 🎓 Miranda's success as a cinematographer without formal film school education highlights the importance of practical experience and mentorship. 11:00 🎥 Practical effects and collaboration between production design and cinematography contribute significantly to the authenticity and impact of a film.

Absolutely. It's incredible how many people will pay $1000 for a phone for its camera, then have it take photos through a millimeter of grease

[@heroninja1125]

Personally the Cameron deluxe microfiber cloth is one of my favourites. The cloth is so much larger and thicker then normal microfiber cloths and it makes it easier to clean big screens and lenses.

Honestly, I notice little to no difference. Granted, I don't ever let my lenses get absolutely covered in grease. But that suggestion is way overblown.

This video is full of tips and experience that is re-teaching me everything I know about cameras. It makes me realize, that if I can master a camera in my pocket, I can do anything with more. It's about the vision, not the equipement.

[@ShaqKhiElvie]

Get an anamorphic lens (I’d say Moment or Moondog) Also the moment 18mm & 58mm lenses. I got them off of FB market for $150 total. Super cheap but I can still get the focal lengths I need for what I’m filming while I save for a cinema grade camera. Add a filter to this set up & you’re good

@@punkangel4118 i’m pretty sure that it was a lot more than $10,000 in accessories and gear, probably closer to a quarter million.

[@tessiepinkman]

​@@punkangel4118 EXACTLY! Sure, it's undoubtedly about the people behind the camera, but it's obviously about what gear they use too. And what it's mostly about is money. Money and a talented crew, of course. But nobody can deny that it's about money. This is a _somewhat_ insincere video, though I did enjoy it a lot since there were some really great tips given and all the people that were interviewed seem so wonderful and sincere, so no shade from me. Okay, maybe a tiny bit of shade for trying to make us believe that it's not about what gear you use, while they were being behind the scenes of a shoot where they used gear for thousands upon thousands of dollars _(it might even be over $100.000 in gear only),_ an *extremely* talented crew, accessories + makeup + costumes etc, materials + great workers and not to mention simply having the time, *money* and opportunity to remake an entire house so it fits the film's aesthetic, and don't forget; food and drinks for everyone, and probably lots of other things I'm not thinking about - which is all adding up to *a lot* of money and is *absolutely* helping to make the production look as great as it does. Please don't misunderstand me, I'm definitely not saying that it is everything that matters, but it's a vital part of the puzzle. The people are still the most important part. Give $200.000.000 and the best gear in the world to someone without talent and make them direct and choose all the shots they'd use in the scenes, and I bet the end product wouldn't even come close to what someone who's extremely talented and has been in the industry could do for $100.000 _(basically a micro-budget movie nowadays)._ But $100.000 is *a lot* of money for almost everyone. *EDIT:* Oh god, I'm so sorry for this wall of text.

8:08 this is the thing that i think the majority of film students, aspiring filmmakers and even photographers miss. So many become so focused on camera gear, thinking that a certain piece of tech is going to make their movie look amazing. It makes sense, spending money on a camera is the easiest thing you can do. Getting good lighting and production design is difficult. While in school, I worked on a thesis project where the group was adamant about spending a big chunk of our budget on renting an Alexa rather than using the free RED camera provided by our department. We did, and guess what? The movie still looked like a student film lol

[@Antonio-0]

As other comments say, this video worth every sec. I’m not the kind of person that seats and watch an almost 20 minute videos if I don’t see nothing interesting but this… worth every second.

[@agustinsaavedra2752]

WOW. I've been a fan of Claudio Miranda since the beginning. The lighting ideas in The Game are just eye Candy, in Se7en he got to solutions with natural light (and practical) never before achieved. Well everybody knows Fight Club... But becoming DP for Benjamin Button, at the cinema I was like "what the hell is going on, another new light and color dimensions". I really liked when he talks about working with Tony Scott (Crimson Tide, The Fan, Enemy Of The State); it's like all these humble geniuses have that common good human being education. Like when I hear to Emmanuel Lubeski. I learn a lot from these guys, and your video is an amazing present and proof of what I study everyday about modern cinema boundaries. Always the same speech: One can say they are the best, in return they say decisions matter, team work matter (thousand of American Cinematographer pages support this). Beautiful.

[@joepiekl]

I still remember these comparisons back in the Panasonic GH2 days. They did one where they compared about 10 different cameras from the iPhone up to the Arri Alexa, and it really was pretty difficult to tell the difference. But what they didn't really mention was that the cinematographers had thousands of dollars of lighting to light a professional movie set. And in that situation, the exact camera they were using didn't make a huge difference.

[@sergioyichiong7269]

Arri alexa close to iphone? Give me a break cut the BS 😅

[@AZREDFERN]

LOG combined with HQPR is probably the most powerful feature. I’ve always edited photos out of my Canon, but never really color graded iPhone video other than lowering contrast a little and bumping up the blacks. I like the 5x on the 15 pro max, but I miss the 2x optical lens. That used to be my go-to on the 11pro max. Eventually, I’ll probably upgrade to a 1DxMkIII when it hits the final price drop and retire the 5DmkII

[@goinhot1]

I work with Claudio on “Top Gun Maverick”, and being in this business for 30 years the Top Gun camera crew was by far superior, then most that I’ve ever worked with! Oh, in regards to Set decorator I’d have to say Jan Pascale has an eye for detail when I first walked into the Hangar and saw the motorcycles and the trailer and Tom’s P52 on It was jaw-dropping.

[@ondrejpavelka2179]

Thank goodness for this Tilta case! I HATE strapping a cheap plastic case on my phone, I want to feel the expensive materials on the back of my phone but also protect it with a solid bumper.

[@Ashworth-Media]

Great video of a great interview where a professional spills the beans on how he manages to get great results from the phone in anyone's pocket. Basically when you start treating an iPhone like a film camera by mounting it on a tripod and start to use external microphones you can quickly up the quality when compared to just using it hand held. I started filming using what I have to hand, an old 29 year old tripod, on amazon I spot a phone holder that has a 1/4 threaded hole, the phone holder had a cold shoe slot, a look on eBay and I found a mount that will allow me to fix a shotgun microphone. When all this is quickly assembled and using Final Cut Pro Camera app the results are far better than just a hand held mobile phone. The upshot of this is treat the phone camera as just another filming camera, but use it in a way that does not exceed the phone's capability, but also use the limitations to make you come up with different ways of film production.
