Had fun modeling for you! Great video 👍👏

[@landonknapp4014]

Glad I'm not alone in the anti "iphones are just as good as dslrs if not better" club. Thanks for another great video!

[@emanuelmcfail]

Lol an iPhone camera is actually a built in dslr so yes it is just as good u just have to know how to use it.

[@nicolasdupouymanescau]

so you are [(not alone)(in the) (anti)("iphone..better")(club)]... OK so ((negative+negative)*positive) = positive. So you you prefer using a chair than a dslr ? This was tricky to figure it out

They are and probably never be as Good as a real Camera and such comparison are just useless

[@jlippencott1]

When you say “depth of field”, you’re actually meaning shallow depth of field in a cinematic sense. Depth of field can be shallow or deep depending on aperture, focal length and distance to the subject(s). Just saying “depth of field” is not conveying the effect you mean.

[@badguybilly]

thank you. that was killing me hearing that. Maybe they're simplifying it for beginners but argh....

[@936music4]

Wow a random person teaching a pro guy u should make ur classes too so we can learn from a professional lol

[@DannyPorsche]

@@936music4 he knows what he said. So quiet. It’s shallow depth of field as Joseph said. And no, this is not the greatest channel in the world as claimed. If you don’t have a photographer’s eye you will suck no matter how much you learn from videos and books.

[@OseFilmWork]

This video came in a perfect time! I recently uploaded my short film which was shot on an iPhone using filmic pro but I still think there’s room for improvement in the cinematography for my next short! So this helps out a lot!

This video is fantastic. I learned so much. I will adjust all of my settings accordingly. I already learned about Filmic pro in a previous video. I will look into that app. Thanks. I'll be watch a lot more of your vids. Subscribed

[@WycliffStudios]

For KZbin content iPhone is kinda ok. If you want it to be standard you can go for Alpha 6400 , if you want to reach the top level just use Alpha A7 111s. Red is an overkill IMO

[@buzzedlunne6668]

Loved the video! Would you use the LOG profile for 10-bit iPhone 12 footage? Or still use FLAT?

[@chosenonemedia8337]

Very informative!!! Thanks!

[@HikingWithCooper]

What version of iphone are you using? I don't have one but the 12 does some pretty impressive things. Apple's movie studio shot this movie in Korea about a woman finding her mom and anyway, a lot of it was shot at night and it looked amazing. Sure, they probably adapted to use an Arri Signature Prime but still, it was all captured on the iphone.

[@zacutousa]

Great video, use the right tool for the job.

[@user-gx9wh7vs2f]

[@Michael-NZ]

Fascinating discussion and tutorial

[@CameronBrooks]

I always wondered WHY the 13mm camera on the iPhone 13pro max looked a little compressed compared to the middle camera.. you gotta wonder what is stopping them from eventually getting the quality of the ultra wide up to par with the middle lens.. just a matter of time I suppose

[@oliviamanning-richardson6677]

[@TheAlexniko]

I have to mention that iPhone 12 pro max actually has a very decent depth of field... and I think the iPhone 13 will come out with video portrait mode..

[@johnhoey4605]

I have a 12 Max Pro-it’s a super cool phone, and I love it. Perhaps the best camera on a phone--when comparing it to any other phone camera. But there’s absolutely no comparison between it and the 45 mpxls in my EOS R5 mirrorless camera. Perhaps there doesn’t seem to be much difference between phone and R5 pics when looking at postage stamp sized images; however, anything larger and the differences are beyond obvious.

Just what I needed to know

[@romanvailcreative6574]

I really want to ask you -- I see a lot of videos that an iPhone can shoot like a mirrorless or dslr camera or some semi-pro/pro camera... what I am interested in is the "why?". In your opinion, what's the why? I mean I see the benefit of being lighter, being able to put a phone somewhere a full rig can't go, or doing something as a livestream/social media in the moment. Just trying to understand how someone on your level would offer this on a professional/charge-people-for-money basis? Is it just that this is the future? I would love to understand better. Looking forward to your reply.

[@mychalsimmons7056]

[@kishorilalkishoreda5719]

Great video I had a Canon 7d which shoots 1080p only, since everything is either 4k or more, I wanted to increase the quality of my music videos, my friend told me to buy a Blackmagic CCP4k, what do you recommend please ? Is the quality of iPhone 13 is so powerful that can be compared with the Red camera ?

[@tvstarks]

Hi there! Great reality check. I appreciate the info and and seriously considering the mobile movie training. Question about the Beastgrip DOF Adapter MK adapter. Do you know if it works or there is a version for Nikon 35mm lenses? Or only Canon? Cheers! Todd

[@JosephWilsonProductions]

I noticed right away, there is a digital distortion with the iphone that outlines the foreground objects and people.

Thankyou for valuable information

[@user.shajidas]

Sir, thanks your class. 🌹

[@larrybriner5687]

This video is great, and the instructional website seems dope! One thing is that the music distracted me in this video, I felt like I was building Supply Depots in Starcraft, the gritty western bar sounding music. This is only a comment to help give feedback. I didn’t mind the music in the beginning, but as a musician myself, I notice how it repeats a lot. Most people probably tune it out but for some, it could gradually grow as distracting...”wow, it’s still the same music?” My humble suggestion is to change up the music, or fade it out at points,

[@garyedwards778]

Thank you for the Video. Question, which one would you recommend for 'Events Videography' in terms of 'capturing music, dancing, experiences between people and Editing it all after to create amazing music videos?' Would it be the Google Pixel, Iphone 15, Samsung, Sony or another smart phone? Creating music videos & film making is key here. Note; most of the events will be at night with various flashing lights. Look forward to your wisdom. Many thanks, Gary

[@drne6244]

5:19 thats about the worst day for night i ever saw, how did that make the cut? could have they chosen a better day to shoot at least? those shadows lol

[@sketchdashaman]

sick!

[@dirbyozz]

Rolling shutter, tiny sensor, limited focal length options, image processing that you must pay to turn off. iPhones are always going to have their drawbacks for shooting video, so if you wanna get into cinema grade video for less than the cost of your iPhone, get a BlackMagic Production Camera 4k used. It has all ProRes options as well as CinemaDNG RAW, Blackmagic's colour science in 4:2:2, and most importantly, a standard EF mount and A GLOBAL SHUTTER all for $680-$800. Also, support your local camera store (and save yourself the big bucks) by getting used Prime lenses from them, and wait to get yourself a zoom. (And get used Samsung 850 PRO 1tb ssds and some spacers, any other SSD is too expensive for less storage)

[@Cinepobrefilmfestival]

the iphone DOF Beastgrip adapter works but is a poor option for the task, just do better composition and consider the limitations and best abilities of your apple optics

True talents are within and not on the equipment you own. Perfect example is Zack Wyled (guitarist from Ozzy Osborne) playing Black Sabbath using a Hello Kitty guitar (video on KZbin)

[@KeithDaviesMusic]

you never said that if you purchase a lens from Moment you will also need to buy their phone cover, otherwise the lens can't be attached to the phone.

[@RavinderSingh-ft5dw]

Superb

[@Experternas]

I have an idea camera makers should try, what if there's two mirrors inside the house so two different recordings are saved at the same time, exacly the same view from the same lens but one is under exposed and one is overexposed. Would probably work. Now many times we have to add masks and stuff to correct portion of shots. phone camers cant do this...maybe it would be possible to do it on the same phone lens but do it digitally rather than optically.

[@navitaraaj5912]

Hy I am watching your video from Pakistan 🇵🇰 I want to buy a new camera in few days for videos and images as well but my main focus is cinematic videos can you please give me your good advice either I should buy mirrorless or DSLR . I am begginer so also I am having some budjet issues almost count under 500$. Please give me a better suggestion.

[@sachinbablu4809]

Could anyone suggest me whicn is the best video recording apps that were mentioned in the video

[@tangibleplanetvisualmedia1138]

Any camera is better than no camera but a real camera is better than a phone camera. A good looking video has more to do with what you do in front of the camera, but you will quickly run into the limitations of a cell phone camera if you want to do anything in-depth requiring more functional tools. Also, do phones even let you shoot at 24p?

[@emanuelmcfail]

Yes u can shoot 24fps with a phone

[@AnthonyPtak]

FimicPro allows 24p on a phone 🤳

[@josephjimorris]

@@AnthonyPtak Actually with Filmic Pro you can set it to be pretty much whatever frame rate and playback rate you want. Anything from like 3 FPS to 240 FPS. It’s pretty insane really.

[@tyfaith]

What is the iPhone mount you are using

[@tdawg598]

lighting issues with exposure can easily be fixed by using ND filters

[@MiguelCarino]

Which camera app is that you used on video?? Filmic pro looks very different...

[@MR-AK]

Sony Xperia 1V doesn’t have the lens issue as it has actual optical zoom.

[@DavidFernandezChoreographer]

DJI gimbals have a lot of trouble balancing the Moment case and Lenses. Even with the weights it’s difficult to use them. Do you think I should move to Ronin? If so, how I can make it work. Looks like I need an special adapter for IPhone. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks D

[@josephjimorris]

I have the Osmo 3 and the Smooth 4, using them with an iPhone 11 (not the Max) and Moment case and lenses, sometimes with full-size variable ND filters. It is possible to get the Smooth 4 balanced with a full load on it, but you have to extend the arm fully and add the counterweights also. The Smooth 5 is out now and it isn’t very expensive. Plus having the focus/zoom as a large dial on the control handle is really nice. If you’re careful with it, you can get focus pulls while you’re filming by yourself.

[@carlomerazaudiovisuales]

Hi does your program include all the corses??

[@war6nheaven]

I believe the biggest take away was the frame rate. The RED camera overall looker far smoother, and the saturation is much less than the iPhone camera...now getting around to messing with the iPhone's frame rate would be awesome, maybe it's possible with certain apps. Marques Brownlee goes in depth on how iPhone's software is responsible for the saturation along with shadow and light issues in the video called: "What is happening with iPhone camera?".

[@ram_chopade_cr]

Bro can you just use s21 ultra for the comparison between actual cameras and phones

[@1001Hobbies]

I am curious about your thoughts of what this proved to yourself. I am looking to buy a BMPCC4K and know that the footage can look as good as a RED, and I cannot justify paying the $30K. If I showed the BMPCC4K footage to someone and told them it was RED, I am confident they would not be able to argue that it's not. All this being said, I believe it is an incredible day we live in as far as tech goes, especially when if you need a quick pick-up shot on a RED camera project and you can get it with your phone.......holy cow. As long as someone is up to speed on cinematic lighting, composition, and framing, it is going to be more and more difficult to justify paying $30K for a camera.

[@canwefixit8129]

I beg to differ.... I could easily tell the difference between a black magic and a red camera in the color science. Reds have a unique color profile that is different then any other camera manufacturer out there. Not saying its better or worse of course. But its their fingerprint/DNA/Calling card or whatever you want to call it that defines their cameras from the rest.

[@1001Hobbies]

@@canwefixit8129 - I am aware of RED's color science. However, how often is footage used right out of the camera in an edited film? Color correction is done, and then color grading for the mood of the scene and/or the look or feel of the film. Once that is done, the original color look is changed drastically, and it is this finished footage I am talking about. Once all the correction and grading has been done, people (especially general audiences) would be hard pressed to tell what camera it was shot on, as well as editors, because the original color science from the camera is no longer on display. I remember back around 2014 or so, I read a story from a Hollywood film Director who was so impressed by the buzz around the Canon 6D MK II that he went out and shot footage on 4 different cameras, one of them being the Canon and the other 3 were Hollywood industry standard cameras. He then invited 5 Director friends of his over and showed them all the footage in his home theater. After he showed them all the footage he then told them one of the scenes was shot on the Canon 6D MK II and he challenged them to pick it out. None of them could. Color correction and grading makes a big difference.

[@filmodpetra]

The iPhone fotage looks choppy next to the RED. Would be nice if you could set the framerates to match the RED and the whole project framerate, and use correct shutter speed with ND filters as you recommended us.

[@destroyer100onblitz]

We are talking about a 1k dollars phone tho. So it’s really good for the amount of money you pay

[@filmodpetra]

@@destroyer100onblitz I totally agree with you, it is really decent. But I believe, if he doesnt mess up the framerates, it would look even better.

[@destroyer100onblitz]

@@filmodpetra Yes, when they do a comparison it would be better for them to take it serious. A big jump tho from the older generation iPhones. I have an iPhone 11 and it never disappointed me for the camera. It’s a 350 $ 2019 phone and has really good video quality. I would definitely buy the iPhone 14 Pro just because it’s good for what it is

(It could be a tutorial in itself by the way...) all I can see on KZbin is that there are only chinese gimbals that can hold a cell phone and bigger cameras on them.

[@sigelsegal2297]

my honest question is. Why hasn't apple made a pocket cinema camera? A " ProRes " machine that has a larger sensor. They would dominate that field. Make is $2499-$3499 and I think it would be a total hit.
