How cool was it to see Casey Neistat championing smartphone filmmaking? Fit the topic perfectly, too. That and of course Steven Soderbergh using an iPhone to make his feature film "Unsane"... and these guys can afford whatever gear they want. Don't wait to create!
Question about filming on a cellphone, how do you deal with super small sensor sizes, and deep DOF? I'm sure its much harder to get a good DOF and have good lens control with a cellphone
To get some shallow DOF you can use the Tele lens, 3rd party Tele lenses, ND filters or Beastgrip even makes a DOF adapter to attach traditional photo/video lenses. You can also get the subject closer to the lens to get some nice bokeh. We’re spoiled today with all the larger sensor cameras. Wasn’t too long ago that most cameras we all used were 1/3” CCDs, unless you were shooting film. So long story short, you can get shallow DOF looks, but on wider shots and most non telephoto shots everything will typically be in focus.
Definitely. Adding an ND filter is one of the number one things we recommend! We have several videos on our channel on using ND filters. Here’s a review we just did ruclips.net/video/TY69zFw5ORA/видео.html. And there’s more so just search our channel if you’re interested. Thanks for watching!
Indeed I am with you on that! Ask I always say, if you heard a noise outside right now, and ran outside with your phone and filmed a UFO on your lawn, I guarantee nobody would be talking about your gear... Only the content! 🎯🎥
I watched this video almost about a year ago and it really changed my attitude. I always felt that I should only make a film if it's perfect. Since then I have made a bunch of random films and have really gotten good practice from that and now I am getting paid to make videos for people. Soon I will be making my next attempt at a narrative short film, I hope it will turn out great.
Hey that’s awesome! Congrats. And that’s definitely the idea. Don’t wait to create. :) Best of luck with your future projects and thanks for sharing your story!
The best, or first RUclips video in years, perhaps both, that not only did I watch all the way through without growing disinterest, but that was truly and actually educational, detailed, and extremely helpful. I had all my questions answered without needing to dig and search further on RUclips or the internet. That NEVER happens. Your willingness to share your knowledge without hesitation or keeping secrets is the best gift I’ve received online in a decade. It’s exactly what I needed, when I needed it. Awesome video. Thanks!
Amazing and inspiring video! I own LOTS of filming equipment, but due to traveling extensively have been searching for the absolute minimalist shooting setup. Im very excited about where cellphones are going with the future of filming, and looking forward to adapting to it rather than fighting to keep spending 10's of thousands on new gear :)
Thanks! Minimalism is a great aspect of mobile filmmaking, especially when traveling. Lots of interesting & exciting developments on the horizon for sure in smartphone tech. All the gadgets do add up! :)
I love the tips on using the flat colour profile in Filmic Pro! I've managed to make some films on my own with that feature and really see how it gives the footage more dynamic range. However, I think you could also consider sharing how to focus pull using Filmic Pro. I think that's one of the coolest features of the app, being able to manually adjust focus. Cheers!
I don't have the FiLMic Pro app yet but I am wondering if you can focus pull by setting focal point, locking and then unlocking, set new focal point and then lock again. It would be clumsy compared to a focus ring on a camera but I am wondering if it can be done. I think the DJI Osmo Mobile you can manually adjust focus with a button, that might help.
filmic pro looks like an ultra sick app, thanks for the heads up on the need to pay double the amount for filmic cinematography app... I didnt know that about Steven Soderbergh and it kind of its nuts now the power in your pocket! the main thing holding me back from developing my own youtube channel is how to tell decent stories over the long term...
Fantastic video! Instead of using a tripod, why not just use a smooth 4? I can't figure out why a tripod is better in some situations or is it? Thanks for your feedback
Gimbals can be great and these days are affordable and easy to use. So personal choice really. The only thing is it is sometimes hard to get a completely locked-off shot with a gimbal unless you set it down. But definitely go for it! Thanks for watching!
Ok, sooo, I've been using my iPhone until I bought a Canon m50. The iPhone has this issue with 'Variable Fram Rate' where the audio doesn't match the video when bringing shots into Premiere. I saw that I can use HandBrake but it doesn't always work. Couldn't take it anymore.
Which one of these phone mounts, tripods or selfie sticks works and works great without removing your otter box. I have yet to see a video that demonstrates this.
Thank you for all these great videos. One question is nagging me, what happens to the music you have in your short films if you decide to unsubscribe to the music service where you purchased your music? Do you have to keep renewing your subscription to Artlist to be able to have their music in your videos? I just watched the video you did about "best music for filmmakers" and it got me here.
Hey! Great work you do! Thanks! I have an issue not related to this video but with the choppy video stream using AirPlay, have you ever solved it? From my iPhone to my LG C9 TV with airplay, using mirroring or sharing only the clip alone it still doesn’t plays smoothly… Best 💪🏼😉
The Tipps are very good. Nearly 90% of this stuff I am still using. But my bottleneck is after the filming: the editing. I am searching for a solution to edit films on iPhone/iPad with full of options like the filmic pro for filming
So after playing around with this app I'm impressed. Almost perfect except for a couple of thing. My phone is capable of shooting at 1080p @60 fps with its stock camera. When I select 1080p in Filmic it doesn't allow me to select 60fps. Also when I shoot a 4k video and export it to the stock media player on my phone it just won't play it.
Every phone is a bit different and a lot depends on the device. On iPhone you get 4K 60fps and in 1080 you can do 240fps. Not sure why the 4K wouldn’t play unless your phone doesn’t support that resolution - or it could be the higher bit rate or MPEG encoding.
So you say to set your shutter speed at 48 so it's double the shutter speed. But when you set filmic pro or 120 FPS capture (as you suggest with 24 FPS playback) then it won't allow the shutter speed to go any lower than 120 FPS. I tried this with 60 FPS capture and 24 FPS playback.
Yeah you would want to double your frame rate to equal the shutter if possible for ideal motion blur. If you’re in lower light though it may not do it because shooting slow motion/higher frame rate takes more light.
G'Day mate, I am in the process of making my very first video to post on my RUclips channel using my second-hand mighty Mavic Pro drone 7& iPhone 7-plus. I am slowly adding to my kit (on a low budget pension) so all the more to be as resourceful as I can. Watching good folk such as yourself helps me learn how to & I truly thank you for that. I have subbed & a big thumbs up man. I am currently learning how best to use Filmic Pro on my phone to film & LumaFusion to edit on my iPad Air. My note to you: The meaning of life is.... "To continuously seek JOY in all you think, say & do" Cheers from Spike (Central Wheatbelt Western Australia)
Great video thank you very much. As a novice I will be pleased if I can shoot 1 film in 20 days, but only doing it for my own enjoyment. Can I ask one thing about Filmicpro. Can you use it to take still photos as well as video? I currently use Osmo mobile 2 gimbal, which I like with DJI app for video and open camera for stills. Open camera is much better than DJI app, in my opinion, but is not integrated with Osmo mobile 2 while Filmic Pro is.
FiLMiC Pro is a video camera app only. You cannot do stills unless you take a still from a 4K image. Moment Pro Camera app you can do both. But FP is all about video and it’s a very feature rich app.
Still can't believe how Filmic Pro / Moment haven't sponsored you guys! Haha seriously is not rocket science but you guys nail smartphone tutorials on RUclips.
I’m still learning filmic pro settings can you just leave iso and shutter alone if you got proper room lightning and shooting outside seems like when i adjust it get image lil darker or lighter than I want is there a auto exposure & focus plus AWB has to be red selected right while you shooting video thanks
How do you get a LOG or Flat Profile for 60/120 fps. As you know you can't select either profiles Filmic Pro. I'll be very grateful for a response. Thanks
You can do 60FPS in HD. Otherwise you can’t use it with HFR currently. Heat issues are what we’ve been told, so hopefully will work on future gen devices.
Awesome video! I have a quick question for you. I noticed you have a 4 TB hard drive screenshot on one of the videos. Currently, I am backing all of my files up to Google drive as I have unlimited storage. Do you foresee any issues with editing off of these drives? My concern is that they are stored on the cloud and that it may somehow slow things down during editing. However, I cannot find much online about whether this is an issue or not. I am using proxy because I am shooting on iPhone and editing on premiere on a PC.
To our knowledge you can’t truly edit yet from cloud storage like that. But perhaps it’s possible with a fiber connection, but only with low bit rate proxy files would be our guess. We use several fast RAID setups and also some SSDs and it’s not fast enough typically to edit 4K smoothly or without lowering the playback resolution.
Thank you for sharing that information. Could you recommend one good SSD brand for me? It has been a while since I have edited and I have had a bad time with western digital.
@@iphoneographers Great, thank you! If you can reference any great raid explanations that would be helpful (not sure if this is in your wheelhouse). Thanks again!
Sure, we wanted some slomo in 4K and that’s the highest frame rate available. When you conform that in a 24p edit you’ll get about a 40% slow motion look.
Thanks! Filmic Pro is cross platform. There are some different and limited functions depending on the device. Current versions of the app will go back to work with iPhone 6s and SE. And FYI, if you’re on Android you can download their app called FiLMiC Evaluator and it will let you know if it will work on your phone.
I also shot with filmic pro and the log kit on my iPhone X and have it attached to a DJI Osmo mobile 2 and let me tell you something when you have everything dialed in and have the colors and lighting set it looks like straight out of a multi million dollar production for example shooting a scene were a character gets lost in the forest and tries to find a way out you can give it a legit horror movie look I showed it to some coworkers and they couldn’t believe it was shot on the phone 👍🏻😄 of course I have to improve some things like movement but when you like what you see you’re on a good way
Can we use Mavis Pro + Z. Smooth 4 ? Is there implementation? Mavis is way more stable than Filmic and what’s more Mavis do really better black in low lights (less noise than Filmic)
Probably with a gimbal is best. You could simple hold it - well, not if you’re driving - but someone hold it. :) Or rig it somehow. You could also try a suction cup mount on the dashboard or mini tripod, but the newer phone have OIS (optical image stabilization) that causes issues with bumps, so it’ doesn’t work very well. iPhone 6s or before is okay though. Not sure on Android. Another tip would be to shoot slomo as it will help smooth things out. Even slight slomo like 30p for 24p playback makes a difference. Hope that helps.
I have a suction cup mount (shaky)... and a mount that connects to my rear view mirror... (still shaky)... I even tried putting magnet on the phone to correct the OIS problem... I don't advise that... my camera images get a little "wavy" from time to time now... I stopped using the magnets after about a day or two. The video WAS more steady, but, it wasn't clear. I'll try the slomo... although I'm curious as to how any recorded voices will sound when I'm finished with it
Voices will sound slow. :) If you’re recording dialog wouldn’t do slow motion. Sounds like you’ve tried several options. The gimbal has been our go to for this recently. Hope it works out for you!
Just shot my first short film on an IPhone 11. There is so much to learn. Ouch. Came to your channel from Dee Nimmin recommendation. Thank you so so much!
Katya Paden hey do u use traditional camera app for iPhone 11? what tool you're using to edit your videos in? i'm planing to start a youtube chanel now since i've horn the new iphone 11
Hey Rajat! Ok so, I’m 11 and not a pro. Just a kid actor having fun with RUclips. BUT.... mom got an iPhone 11Pro Max and I had an idea for a Halloween horror short. We got my acting coach to help. We used the phone camera app, uploaded everything to our PC, and used Filmora pro to edit it. IMovie app works really well for simple youtube editing on your phone. I’ll go check out your channel! Have fun!
Katya Paden hey I was looking forward to edit using davinci resolve 16 (free version) there are lots of things you can do with that software if you have a macbook pro, i'll suggest you to do the same!
I wish this technology was around when I went to film school and had to edit on 16 millimeter film. Argh! Digital has made it so much easier. Great video. Question: what audio equipment do u recommend? Thx
Thanks! And we hear you! Filmmakers today have so many great resources at their fingertips that just a few years ago we could’ve only dreamed of... For audio we really like the RODE VideoMicro. It’s a small camera mounted shotgun mic that works well with smartphones and sounds surprisingly great. We highlight it in our Wish List videos if you’d like to see it in action. For lav style mics we like the Sennheiser ClipMic Digital. We reviewed that mic and there’s a video on our channel as well. Lastly, we sometimes use traditional shotgun mics and double system sound (like with a Zoom recorder) and just use the phone for video.
You can’t use the Cinematographer’s Kit upgrade to shoot log or flat. You can with the 6s or later, but not the 6. Everything else though should be good to go.
It’s definitely worth it for the manual controls and 100Mbps video. That other kit is relatively new. The app has been around since 2012 and you can get great results using it. It’s always been on our highly recommend list.
I'm using xiaomi redmi note 8 but this content is gold. Gear doesn't matter. I edited using davinci the end almost same as shoot with my 650d dslr. The phone now days surprisingly good. And filmic pro surprisingly good apps for to this
Yes, it works with a lot of Android phones, too. You can actually download a free app called Filmic Evaluator and it will tell you if your phone will work.
Thanks for this posting. I'm just starting out making videos and for now, plan to only use smartphone(s) as my main camera. I see you're in the Dallas area, maybe we can do a collab sometime, as I'm just north of you in Plano.
Can you tell me what phone case that is? I have an iPhone 7 and get frustrated that I can’t get an adapter to mount properly due to the lightning port not being notched out.
I'm not sure if you will be answering comments still on this post but I am wondering if you have any info on shooting 60fps in FILMIC Pro on the iPhone XS. As far as I know the new iPhone XS captures 60fps in their new high efficiency format which I could not import into Adobe premiere. I shot a whole bunch of cool stuff in Playa del Carmen Mexico only to get back home and not be able to convert it or even load it into my editing software. I even tried converting it in media encoder. Any suggestions? I've been only shooting 120fps since there isn't a problem with that.
We answer when we can. :) Are you on Mac or PC? On Mac you need High Sierra or later to read HEVC H.265. Later version of Media Encoder CC2018 should see it, too. We typically do a proxy workflow though using ProRes LT for 4K60 or just transcode.
Thanks! Our LUTs work with any footage shot with Filmic Pro regardless of device. We just shoot on iPhones. The Samsung and Google phones are good, too. 👍🏻
I have all those Accessories. I should start to follow up all those presets mentioned here and share the result. Thank you for the great video and information
Yes, in most cases as we have it saved in the preset - and we routinely go back & forth to handheld and don’t want to forget to turn it on. :) However, if you’re shooting a locked-off shot on a tripod and know you won’t be moving it, then turning IS off is probably best as it does slightly soften the image (not too much though in our experience).
hello sir, first of all thank you for this tutorial, i learned a lot i downloaded it already the filmic pro. just a piece of concern sir, why when i am shooting on filmic pro there is no voice? 😊
You guys are very talented and creative!! My question is how would you monetize your 20 films? How can you distribute these films so they return a profit?
Hi, thanks! Appreciate you watching and your comment. We didn’t do these to make money. They were purely a creative outlet and a challenge we posed to ourselves. In saying that though, we do run ads on them here on RUclips and they help drive traffic to our channel and other videos along with our website. So from a business perspective you could call them a loss leader. We have considered putting them all together as one long experimental anthology style video and putting them on Amazon Prime. There you can not only widen our audience, but also monetize it. But long story short, we really made them just to do it. :)
Thanks for your reply! We have an upcoming film project, there is a possibility you may be the film crew we've been looking for. Do have an email I can write to you with the details?
Trying to improve my home made fitness videos using your tips Am learning a lot. Your commentary is really top class, you deserve to be on a certain documentary lol
cool I like the idea, I just wonder what was the purpose of making all 20 videos. I was watching some of them and seem like its just a sequence of images, not really a film or story on it.
It was a creative experiment to actually shoot & edit a movie a day for 20 days. They are experimental for the most part, but almost every one has a story, albeit some are more subtle than others. You should give it a try! :) Thanks for watching.
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback. No 3rd party lenses except on our last one called Reverse Cycology... that one we used a Moondog Labs anamorphic lens. The rest were all just the phone lens. 📱👍🏻
Now we’d probably shoot log all the time except in very low light. That’s because Filmic Pro had a recent big update to LogV2. Before we only shot log outside in very bright light because in lower light or inside it could get super noisy in the shadows. Now that’s not the case, although shooting flat or natural can save you time in post-production as you don’t have to do as much color correction. But log gives you the most dynamic range.
Yes, we are planning to do some LumaFusion tutorials - although we do tend to grade in Premiere or FCPX or DaVinci more often - but are impressed with iOS options today.
Hi, this is really REALLY great. I'm an amateur artist making music videos. I could watch your stuff all day, but particularly interested in this somewhat restricted set of variables across these short movies. (Disappointing to see so much negativity in the comments though...) Question: did you not use any attachable lenses in any of these movies? Some have that anamorphic look. Just curious since you note using only phone and tripod.
Hey thanks for watching and your question! We used an anamorphic lens on Reverse Cycology and a Macro lens on Macrocosm. Those were actually the last two we did (and Macrocosm was done a few weeks after the main 20 short films). Otherwise it was just the phone and tripod for the other 19 movies. Btw, overall the positive feedback far outweighs the negative, so it’s all good. When you put your videos/films/art etc. out to the world not everyone is going to like or understand them. And especially on RUclips. 😃 Best of luck with your music videos!
iPhoneographers Thanks for the response! I've been obsessed with your channel all day in the midst of needing to write performance reviews at work -- huge distraction! :) I'll becoming back again and again, but also trying not to impulse buy all the equipment, and since I'm running out of creative room with titles, transitions and other flexibility with iMovie, I'm tempted to finally make the leap to Final Cut Pro. Repeating to myself on loop: keep it simple. KEEP IT SIMPLE. Anyway, example of the kind of videos I make if you're interested. Shot on iPhone 7 plus and drone: ruclips.net/video/Z18qY9urh_8/видео.html
i have aquestion about filmic pro, can i record video at 1seg fps? for instance for a fluid timelapse? with nice motion blur, or for astro photo-videography?
Omg bro we greatly appreciate this video, we been making film Content for a long time and we were having a hard time with trying to make our content phenomenal.
I installed Filmic Pro today and noticed that unlike MOMENT, Filmic Pro doesn't allow me to switch lenses on my iPhone 7 to choose wide lens. Is it because I already seleected wide lens with another program or am I just stuck at a lens that Filmic Pro has chosen for me? I'm disappointed at not having the option to chose lenses especially with a paid program, $16+ versus a free program like MOMENT that gave me the freedom to choose lenses. When I select camera on my iPhone it merely changes from rear to forward facing camera. Can you think of any tips to fix this? I'm not sure disabling the front camera is even an option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, if your phone has dual cameras then Filmic Pro allows you to switch between them. In the Camera menu you can choose it there or you can zoom between the two. If you use zoom just make sure the zoom lever doesn’t show red (on screen right) or you’re doing a digital zoom. Keep it in the green and you’ll be optical. If you can’t see the dual lenses then you might need to reinstall the app or contact their support.
@@iphoneographers None of this addressed my question. I know how to switch cameras. I didn't need the program to do something that simple. I'll go through support. Thanks.
So, I'm filming in Flat mode but I dont have the possibility to colorgrade it on a pc. I do everything on my phone. Is there a possibility to colorgrade with the phone ? The FX on Kinemaster are bad... Thanks
Filmic Pro or Mavis or Moment for video camera app are our favorites. Get a microphone like the RODE VideoMicro. Get a small tripod for photo or tabletop use from Manfrotto or Joby. Maybe a gimbal too like the DJI Osmo 2 or Moza Mini-MI. Good luck!
hi need your suggestions in upgrading my system so that my money goes in right direction..i currently edit on my laptop which is macbook pro 2.7 ghz core i5 and 8 gb's of ram..problem im facing here is slow processing in final cut pro and alot of rendering which is annoying,,i'm ready to put my money in new setup but not sure which apple product i should be getting now..please help
Would go with i7 and 32GB RAM or more. If you have the money do the new MBP laptop with a 1TB SSD drive. Or an i7 iMac with 64GB RAM. Or... the the base model iMac Pro is really great. 👍🏻
I film AND edit on my phone. Not by choice initially, but it's been great. KineMaster is getting close to being all someone might need to edit as long as they can cope with the small screen experience. I'm no film maker; a vlogger with snappy edits and British humour. I'll be watching and making notes. Part 1 was instant subscribe for me. Great work. 😊👍
Hey thanks for the comment and sub! We like KineMaster, too. Haven’t done any videos on it but probably should! Our go to app is Filmic Pro, then we typically edit on our desktop or LumaFusion on iPad or iPhone. Great to have a vlogger here, hope our channel will help!
It's been a couple of years since I owned an iPhone, but something to be said for a "locked" ecosystem... Video apps are mostly broken on my brand new Mate 10 Pro. I get external audio & poor picture OR internal mic and better picture. 😂 Also left/right channels get swapped using the selfie camera. I'm putting aside this evening to catch up with your videos. Thanks guys.
When I want to shoot 120 Fps the app says that I cant use the flat profile. Can you use it? Im asking because you didnt said anything about that and i was wondering :) Maybe you can help.
Hi, no you can’t use log or flat with frame rates over 60 in HD or 30 in 4K. This on the current phones. Believe it has to do with heat. The next gen phones will likely allow higher frame rates.
cool! i like this ! i wanted to do this right now and start film making through phones.. and oh. btw do you have a tutorial on how to have a stabilize video shot using phone? and how to shoot a smooth slow motion using phone.. ?
Good deal, thanks! Hope it helps you. We have lots of different videos on our channel pertaining to these topics. Stabilizing we would probably use a gimbal... And slomo we touched on in this video about 120FPS, but we have some others too. Search on our main channel page and hopefully you can find what you’re looking for! Feel free to ask us more questions, too.
Thanks! Typically deleting the app and then doing a clean install will fix any dropped frame issues. But if you do it be sure to save your video first because it will delete that too, all data in the app. Which phone are you using?
Ok. You should have no problems then. Do a clean install or even a re-install of the app and then maybe even a restart of your phone. :) You might also check your settings to see if you’re recording in H.264 or H.265. We recommend H.264. It’s a setting under your main iPhone video settings if you’re not familiar.
Probably wouldn’t shoot log although you could, a lot of RUclipsrs do. But just having the manual control is very helpful. But even if you don’t go with FiLMiC Pro would suggest a third-party app so you can at least set the white balance and exposure and focus independently.
@@iphoneographers OK I get it. Could you recommend settings in FiLMiC Pro especially for vlogging (with profile for color gading)? As we know in vlogging we are not setup focus and white balance manually because we don't have time for that.
-Shoot 4K 24fps -Use Natural color profile -Use the “full auto” mode autofocus (double click the normal small reticle to enlarge and it will be centered) -You can do the same thing with exposure if you like (full screen sample mode) or personally would lock it depending on the shot -Use the “orange” mode AWB. This will auto WB before you record, but will not change while you’re shooting (very important) -Use an external mic like a Rode VideoMicro or if using the phone mic make sure and select the proper front or back mic depending on what camera you use (in the audio settings) Good luck!
How cool was it to see Casey Neistat championing smartphone filmmaking? Fit the topic perfectly, too. That and of course Steven Soderbergh using an iPhone to make his feature film "Unsane"... and these guys can afford whatever gear they want. Don't wait to create!
Question about filming on a cellphone, how do you deal with super small sensor sizes, and deep DOF? I'm sure its much harder to get a good DOF and have good lens control with a cellphone
Also can smartphones have ND or UV filters?? Would help with the blown out sky on some of your vids
To get some shallow DOF you can use the Tele lens, 3rd party Tele lenses, ND filters or Beastgrip even makes a DOF adapter to attach traditional photo/video lenses. You can also get the subject closer to the lens to get some nice bokeh.
We’re spoiled today with all the larger sensor cameras. Wasn’t too long ago that most cameras we all used were 1/3” CCDs, unless you were shooting film. So long story short, you can get shallow DOF looks, but on wider shots and most non telephoto shots everything will typically be in focus.

Christopher Nolan: ☝️👁️👄👁️
Hahahaha 😂🤣
I'm curious, why do you shoot LOG outdoors and FLAT in? Is there really that big of a difference between the two formats?
It’s all about video noise. In lower light with a smaller sensor you get more noise - And shooting log will increase the noise.
I love the tips on using the flat colour profile in Filmic Pro! I've managed to make some films on my own with that feature and really see how it gives the footage more dynamic range. However, I think you could also consider sharing how to focus pull using Filmic Pro. I think that's one of the coolest features of the app, being able to manually adjust focus. Cheers!
Yes focus pulling is pretty cool too! We have other videos on our channel looking at that as well. :) Thanks for watching!
I don't have the FiLMic Pro app yet but I am wondering if you can focus pull by setting focal point, locking and then unlocking, set new focal point and then lock again. It would be clumsy compared to a focus ring on a camera but I am wondering if it can be done. I think the DJI Osmo Mobile you can manually adjust focus with a button, that might help.
Yes you can. We actually did a video on it... ruclips.net/video/5hxCmH9cZ8M/видео.html

I didnt know that about Steven Soderbergh and it kind of its nuts now the power in your pocket! the main thing holding me back from developing my own youtube channel is how to tell decent stories over the long term...
Definitely. The storytelling is the most important thing, but no time like the present to get started. 👍🏻
So inspirational and a good kick in the ass to just go and film stuff 👍🏻
Without *script* we can't make a single Film. Even we have 4k camera.
Absolutely
@Punch Down King ohoooooo.. keep it up. Wow..
Fantastic video! Instead of using a tripod, why not just use a smooth 4? I can't figure out why a tripod is better in some situations or is it? Thanks for your feedback
Gimbals can be great and these days are affordable and easy to use. So personal choice really. The only thing is it is sometimes hard to get a completely locked-off shot with a gimbal unless you set it down. But definitely go for it! Thanks for watching!
Ok, sooo, I've been using my iPhone until I bought a Canon m50. The iPhone has this issue with 'Variable Fram Rate' where the audio doesn't match the video when bringing shots into Premiere. I saw that I can use HandBrake but it doesn't always work. Couldn't take it anymore.
Interesting. Have never had that problem with audio sync. Thanks for the heads up.
Which one of these phone mounts, tripods or selfie sticks works and works great without removing your otter box. I have yet to see a video that demonstrates this.
Can't wait to try this idea to film with... Thanks for posting this!
Thank you for all these great videos. One question is nagging me, what happens to the music you have in your short films if you decide to unsubscribe to the music service where you purchased your music? Do you have to keep renewing your subscription to Artlist to be able to have their music in your videos? I just watched the video you did about "best music for filmmakers" and it got me here.
No, once you get the music it’s yours to use even if you unsubscribe. Thanks for watching!
@@iphoneographers That's great to know. Thank you for your help on this.
Mind. Blown. This is just what I was looking for and needed. So well done! Can’t wait to watch more!
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
THIS has taught me A LOT of new things. Nicely Done.
Hey!
Great work you do! Thanks!
I have an issue not related to this video but with the choppy video stream using AirPlay, have you ever solved it? From my iPhone to my LG C9 TV with airplay, using mirroring or sharing only the clip alone it still doesn’t plays smoothly…
Best 💪🏼😉
The Tipps are very good.
Nearly 90% of this stuff I am still using.
But my bottleneck is after the filming: the editing.
I am searching for a solution to edit films on iPhone/iPad with full of options like the filmic pro for filming
Check out LumaFusion. Thanks for watching!
So after playing around with this app I'm impressed. Almost perfect except for a couple of thing. My phone is capable of shooting at 1080p @60 fps with its stock camera. When I select 1080p in Filmic it doesn't allow me to select 60fps. Also when I shoot a 4k video and export it to the stock media player on my phone it just won't play it.
Every phone is a bit different and a lot depends on the device. On iPhone you get 4K 60fps and in 1080 you can do 240fps. Not sure why the 4K wouldn’t play unless your phone doesn’t support that resolution - or it could be the higher bit rate or MPEG encoding.
So you say to set your shutter speed at 48 so it's double the shutter speed. But when you set filmic pro or 120 FPS capture (as you suggest with 24 FPS playback) then it won't allow the shutter speed to go any lower than 120 FPS. I tried this with 60 FPS capture and 24 FPS playback.
Yeah you would want to double your frame rate to equal the shutter if possible for ideal motion blur. If you’re in lower light though it may not do it because shooting slow motion/higher frame rate takes more light.
G'Day mate, I am in the process of making my very first video to post on my RUclips channel using my second-hand mighty Mavic Pro drone 7& iPhone 7-plus. I am slowly adding to my kit (on a low budget pension) so all the more to be as resourceful as I can. Watching good folk such as yourself helps me learn how to & I truly thank you for that. I have subbed & a big thumbs up man. I am currently learning how best to use Filmic Pro on my phone to film & LumaFusion to edit on my iPad Air. My note to you: The meaning of life is.... "To continuously seek JOY in all you think, say & do" Cheers from Spike (Central Wheatbelt Western Australia)
Great video thank you very much. As a novice I will be pleased if I can shoot 1 film in 20 days, but only doing it for my own enjoyment. Can I ask one thing about Filmicpro. Can you use it to take still photos as well as video? I currently use Osmo mobile 2 gimbal, which I like with DJI app for video and open camera for stills. Open camera is much better than DJI app, in my opinion, but is not integrated with Osmo mobile 2 while Filmic Pro is.
FiLMiC Pro is a video camera app only. You cannot do stills unless you take a still from a 4K image. Moment Pro Camera app you can do both. But FP is all about video and it’s a very feature rich app.
Actually did like it, was informative. Have filmic pro, haven't used it to its full potential
Still can't believe how Filmic Pro / Moment haven't sponsored you guys! Haha seriously is not rocket science but you guys nail smartphone tutorials on RUclips.
Thanks! That would be cool. :)
Thanks for your videos! It’s challenging me to do 20 in 20 days. Keep those tutorial coming!
Thanks, will do! And good luck on your challenge... share some work when you’re ready!
Kindly make a video discribing green screen tracking points and how they can be used
Thanks
I’m still learning filmic pro settings can you just leave iso and shutter alone if you got proper room lightning and shooting outside seems like when i adjust it get image lil darker or lighter than I want is there a auto exposure & focus plus AWB has to be red selected right while you shooting video thanks
You can just lock them after they auto expose, but it’s best to use manual to dial it in. And you definitely lock AWB for best results (to red).
How do you get a LOG or Flat Profile for 60/120 fps. As you know you can't select either profiles Filmic Pro. I'll be very grateful for a response. Thanks
You can do 60FPS in HD. Otherwise you can’t use it with HFR currently. Heat issues are what we’ve been told, so hopefully will work on future gen devices.
hello there, I use filmic delog lut for the log footage, but how will it work for flat footage? I'm on Android
Love the video! Your insight made me a subscriber and I hit that bell so I can be on the notification squad. Keep up the great work.
Awesome, thank you!
What about importing into Filmic Pro from other apps, like the Moment app?
You can’t import into Filmic Pro. You just export or transfer the footage you shoot to other apps for editing or color correction.
@@iphoneographers but on another video, you said you imported from Movi Freefly, I thought.
What type of film did you use and where did you get it developed?
Kodak Vision3 250D/7207 16mm and processed at Spectra Film & Video in North Hollywood.
How did you load it into your iPhone?
The Kodak app.
Awesome video! I have a quick question for you. I noticed you have a 4 TB hard drive screenshot on one of the videos. Currently, I am backing all of my files up to Google drive as I have unlimited storage. Do you foresee any issues with editing off of these drives? My concern is that they are stored on the cloud and that it may somehow slow things down during editing. However, I cannot find much online about whether this is an issue or not. I am using proxy because I am shooting on iPhone and editing on premiere on a PC.
To our knowledge you can’t truly edit yet from cloud storage like that. But perhaps it’s possible with a fiber connection, but only with low bit rate proxy files would be our guess. We use several fast RAID setups and also some SSDs and it’s not fast enough typically to edit 4K smoothly or without lowering the playback resolution.
Thank you for sharing that information. Could you recommend one good SSD brand for me? It has been a while since I have edited and I have had a bad time with western digital.
We’ve had good luck with Samsung, Kingston and SanDisk.
@@iphoneographers Great, thank you! If you can reference any great raid explanations that would be helpful (not sure if this is in your wheelhouse). Thanks again!
Please explain your reason for shooting some footage at 4K 60fps. Thanks
Sure, we wanted some slomo in 4K and that’s the highest frame rate available. When you conform that in a 24p edit you’ll get about a 40% slow motion look.
Thanks so much for this awesome video! What is the oldest iPhone that you can use with filmic and does it support android phones at all?
Thanks! Filmic Pro is cross platform. There are some different and limited functions depending on the device. Current versions of the app will go back to work with iPhone 6s and SE. And FYI, if you’re on Android you can download their app called FiLMiC Evaluator and it will let you know if it will work on your phone.
Perfect. Thank you.
I also shot with filmic pro and the log kit on my iPhone X and have it attached to a DJI Osmo mobile 2 and let me tell you something when you have everything dialed in and have the colors and lighting set it looks like straight out of a multi million dollar production for example shooting a scene were a character gets lost in the forest and tries to find a way out you can give it a legit horror movie look I showed it to some coworkers and they couldn’t believe it was shot on the phone 👍🏻😄 of course I have to improve some things like movement but when you like what you see you’re on a good way
It sure taught me many things and also inspirational on filming without the use of expensive gadgets.
Can we use Mavis Pro + Z. Smooth 4 ? Is there implementation? Mavis is way more stable than Filmic and what’s more Mavis do really better black in low lights (less noise than Filmic)
Mavis is a nice app. Use whatever you prefer. But it doesn’t integrate with the Smooth 4 (that we know of anyway).
iPhoneographers thx for reply. Ok. But there won’t work all buttons with Mavis app if isn’t integrated right?i
The buttons on the gimbal won’t control the app, but the app will work fine if you just want to use it on the gimbal to shoot video.
Question... if I want to shoot video from the dash or windshield of my convertible... what's the best way to get smooth (not shaky) shots?
Probably with a gimbal is best. You could simple hold it - well, not if you’re driving - but someone hold it. :) Or rig it somehow. You could also try a suction cup mount on the dashboard or mini tripod, but the newer phone have OIS (optical image stabilization) that causes issues with bumps, so it’ doesn’t work very well. iPhone 6s or before is okay though. Not sure on Android. Another tip would be to shoot slomo as it will help smooth things out. Even slight slomo like 30p for 24p playback makes a difference. Hope that helps.
I have a suction cup mount (shaky)... and a mount that connects to my rear view mirror... (still shaky)... I even tried putting magnet on the phone to correct the OIS problem... I don't advise that... my camera images get a little "wavy" from time to time now... I stopped using the magnets after about a day or two. The video WAS more steady, but, it wasn't clear.
I'll try the slomo... although I'm curious as to how any recorded voices will sound when I'm finished with it
Voices will sound slow. :) If you’re recording dialog wouldn’t do slow motion. Sounds like you’ve tried several options. The gimbal has been our go to for this recently. Hope it works out for you!
Just shot my first short film on an IPhone 11. There is so much to learn. Ouch. Came to your channel from Dee Nimmin recommendation. Thank you so so much!
Katya Paden hey do u use traditional camera app for iPhone 11?
what tool you're using to edit your videos in?
i'm planing to start a youtube chanel now since i've horn the new iphone 11
Hey Rajat! Ok so, I’m 11 and not a pro. Just a kid actor having fun with RUclips. BUT.... mom got an iPhone 11Pro Max and I had an idea for a Halloween horror short. We got my acting coach to help. We used the phone camera app, uploaded everything to our PC, and used Filmora pro to edit it. IMovie app works really well for simple youtube editing on your phone. I’ll go check out your channel! Have fun!
Katya Paden hey I was looking forward to edit using davinci resolve 16 (free version)
there are lots of things you can do with that software
if you have a macbook pro, i'll suggest you to do the same!
Haha keep asking parents for a MacBook pro! They said after i book another part in a movie. Have to keep auditioning!
Katya Paden well goodluck with that :)
Man. I feel like if I shoot 20 short films in 20 days I'm going to blow up. As in my body is going to physically blow up. Lol
Haha, yeah. It’s a lot of work, but fun. :)
true!!
I wish this technology was around when I went to film school and had to edit on 16 millimeter film. Argh! Digital has made it so much easier. Great video. Question: what audio equipment do u recommend? Thx
Thanks! And we hear you! Filmmakers today have so many great resources at their fingertips that just a few years ago we could’ve only dreamed of... For audio we really like the RODE VideoMicro. It’s a small camera mounted shotgun mic that works well with smartphones and sounds surprisingly great. We highlight it in our Wish List videos if you’d like to see it in action. For lav style mics we like the Sennheiser ClipMic Digital. We reviewed that mic and there’s a video on our channel as well. Lastly, we sometimes use traditional shotgun mics and double system sound (like with a Zoom recorder) and just use the phone for video.
Can you do all this if filmic pro on an iPhone 6? All the settings mentioned here?
You can’t use the Cinematographer’s Kit upgrade to shoot log or flat. You can with the 6s or later, but not the 6. Everything else though should be good to go.
iPhoneographers is it worth using then on the iPhone 6 or not worth the money?
It’s definitely worth it for the manual controls and 100Mbps video. That other kit is relatively new. The app has been around since 2012 and you can get great results using it. It’s always been on our highly recommend list.
I'm using xiaomi redmi note 8 but this content is gold. Gear doesn't matter. I edited using davinci the end almost same as shoot with my 650d dslr. The phone now days surprisingly good. And filmic pro surprisingly good apps for to this
Will it work if I don't have a iPhone?
Yes, it works with a lot of Android phones, too. You can actually download a free app called Filmic Evaluator and it will tell you if your phone will work.
Thanks for this posting. I'm just starting out making videos and for now, plan to only use smartphone(s) as my main camera. I see you're in the Dallas area, maybe we can do a collab sometime, as I'm just north of you in Plano.
I used to use my smartphone for ALL my videos until December 2018. Smartphones are more than capable. Creativity / good content > gear
I must say, very impressed and inspirational video. As a newbie to all this, this was definitely nice to watch.
Thanks! Hope it helps. Look forward to seeing some of your work in the future. 👍🏻
Can you tell me what phone case that is? I have an iPhone 7 and get frustrated that I can’t get an adapter to mount properly due to the lightning port not being notched out.
We mainly used a Moment case and sometimes an Otterbox Commuter, but for video we like Moment.
iPhoneographers thank you. Does it fit a lightning dual adapter? I’ve got one that i want to use to have both an external mic and power to the phone.
Amazing video and I'm very excited to start shooting a lot or all my stuff on my phone.
Awesome! Best of luck. Thanks for watching!
Can i ask a question?
What us the name of the tripod that have a wheels on your vlog??
Thank You
You might be talking about the PICO dolly... it’s a small tabletop style dolly you can mount a camera on.
I'm not sure if you will be answering comments still on this post but I am wondering if you have any info on shooting 60fps in FILMIC Pro on the iPhone XS. As far as I know the new iPhone XS captures 60fps in their new high efficiency format which I could not import into Adobe premiere. I shot a whole bunch of cool stuff in Playa del Carmen Mexico only to get back home and not be able to convert it or even load it into my editing software. I even tried converting it in media encoder. Any suggestions? I've been only shooting 120fps since there isn't a problem with that.
We answer when we can. :) Are you on Mac or PC? On Mac you need High Sierra or later to read HEVC H.265. Later version of Media Encoder CC2018 should see it, too. We typically do a proxy workflow though using ProRes LT for 4K60 or just transcode.
How can we purchase this app from app store please an video on it.
I love you. But not an Apple fan. My Note 9 is pretty killer. Any Luts for it in Filmic pro?
Thanks! Our LUTs work with any footage shot with Filmic Pro regardless of device. We just shoot on iPhones. The Samsung and Google phones are good, too. 👍🏻
@@iphoneographers I appreciate you, sir. Thank you, I will look in to them!
I have all those Accessories. I should start to follow up all those presets mentioned here and share the result. Thank you for the great video and information
Definitely! Go for it. Thanks for watching!
Hi guys, one question. Did you use the application stabilizer when shooting with the tripod?
Yes, in most cases as we have it saved in the preset - and we routinely go back & forth to handheld and don’t want to forget to turn it on. :) However, if you’re shooting a locked-off shot on a tripod and know you won’t be moving it, then turning IS off is probably best as it does slightly soften the image (not too much though in our experience).
iPhoneographers thanks for the advice!!
My iPhone XS Max cost the same as high end camera when I bought when it came.
hello sir, first of all thank you for this tutorial, i learned a lot i downloaded it already the filmic pro. just a piece of concern sir, why when i am shooting on filmic pro there is no voice? 😊
Hi, thanks for watching! Filmic Pro records audio too, so make sure the audio input levels aren’t accidentally turned down or off.
Are there links to the 20 films? Thanks!
This link should take you to a playlist… ruclips.net/p/PLhB7gqZdHFSiqdEEU_xLOs48IRYSTeHDC
You guys are very talented and creative!! My question is how would you monetize your 20 films? How can you distribute these films so they return a profit?
Hi, thanks! Appreciate you watching and your comment. We didn’t do these to make money. They were purely a creative outlet and a challenge we posed to ourselves.
In saying that though, we do run ads on them here on RUclips and they help drive traffic to our channel and other videos along with our website. So from a business perspective you could call them a loss leader.
We have considered putting them all together as one long experimental anthology style video and putting them on Amazon Prime. There you can not only widen our audience, but also monetize it. But long story short, we really made them just to do it. :)
Thanks for your reply! We have an upcoming film project, there is a possibility you may be the film crew we've been looking for. Do have an email I can write to you with the details?
Sure, you can send a message via our website... www.iphoneographers.tv/contact
I love Filmic Pro. I use it for all my videos
Great app!
I can’t find The app 😢
It’s available on the Apple App Store or Google Play. Here’s their website www.filmicpro.com/.
Trying to improve my home made fitness videos using your tips
Am learning a lot.
Your commentary is really top class, you deserve to be on a certain documentary lol
cool I like the idea, I just wonder what was the purpose of making all 20 videos. I was watching some of them and seem like its just a sequence of images, not really a film or story on it.
It was a creative experiment to actually shoot & edit a movie a day for 20 days. They are experimental for the most part, but almost every one has a story, albeit some are more subtle than others. You should give it a try! :) Thanks for watching.
The is one of the most helpful videos I’ve even. Thank you so much.
You really did not use any lenses on your iphone? It looks great! Thumbs up you guys!!
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback. No 3rd party lenses except on our last one called Reverse Cycology... that one we used a Moondog Labs anamorphic lens. The rest were all just the phone lens. 📱👍🏻
Why shoot in flat and not always in log? What's the advantage of using one or the other?
Now we’d probably shoot log all the time except in very low light. That’s because Filmic Pro had a recent big update to LogV2. Before we only shot log outside in very bright light because in lower light or inside it could get super noisy in the shadows. Now that’s not the case, although shooting flat or natural can save you time in post-production as you don’t have to do as much color correction. But log gives you the most dynamic range.
Is it possible to use time-lapse with the app filmic pro?
Yes, it’s an option when choosing frame rates.
Im a beginner but this tutorial makes me feel like a pro ❤️
Interesting to showcase 4k footage when the video is uploaded at 1080p max..?
my phone only seems to film at 24fps in 720p at 1080p it films 10fps :(
Do the lux packs work in Vegas pro 14?
Not sure about Vegas 14, but they do in 15. There’s a LUT filter you apply. Here’s an overview ruclips.net/video/NePlrE8CaFs/видео.html.
id like to buy the Combo LUTs Pack 1. my email is burchell.m@gmail.com. can you take Cashapp?
Hi, thanks for the inquiry! Our system is setup for PayPal, so that’s are only payment option (or a credit card through that same system).
Will teach colour grading in iOS too?
Yes, we are planning to do some LumaFusion tutorials - although we do tend to grade in Premiere or FCPX or DaVinci more often - but are impressed with iOS options today.
Hi, this is really REALLY great. I'm an amateur artist making music videos. I could watch your stuff all day, but particularly interested in this somewhat restricted set of variables across these short movies. (Disappointing to see so much negativity in the comments though...) Question: did you not use any attachable lenses in any of these movies? Some have that anamorphic look. Just curious since you note using only phone and tripod.
Hey thanks for watching and your question! We used an anamorphic lens on Reverse Cycology and a Macro lens on Macrocosm. Those were actually the last two we did (and Macrocosm was done a few weeks after the main 20 short films). Otherwise it was just the phone and tripod for the other 19 movies.
Btw, overall the positive feedback far outweighs the negative, so it’s all good. When you put your videos/films/art etc. out to the world not everyone is going to like or understand them. And especially on RUclips. 😃 Best of luck with your music videos!
iPhoneographers Thanks for the response! I've been obsessed with your channel all day in the midst of needing to write performance reviews at work -- huge distraction! :) I'll becoming back again and again, but also trying not to impulse buy all the equipment, and since I'm running out of creative room with titles, transitions and other flexibility with iMovie, I'm tempted to finally make the leap to Final Cut Pro. Repeating to myself on loop: keep it simple. KEEP IT SIMPLE. Anyway, example of the kind of videos I make if you're interested. Shot on iPhone 7 plus and drone: ruclips.net/video/Z18qY9urh_8/видео.html
i have aquestion about filmic pro, can i record video at 1seg fps? for instance for a fluid timelapse? with nice motion blur, or for astro photo-videography?
Yes there’s an interval mode for timelapse. It shoots video not stills, but works well. Probably wouldn’t be ideal for astro stuff though.
Omg bro we greatly appreciate this video, we been making film Content for a long time and we were having a hard time with trying to make our content phenomenal.
I installed Filmic Pro today and noticed that unlike MOMENT, Filmic Pro doesn't allow me to switch lenses on my iPhone 7 to choose wide lens. Is it because I already seleected wide lens with another program or am I just stuck at a lens that Filmic Pro has chosen for me? I'm disappointed at not having the option to chose lenses especially with a paid program, $16+ versus a free program like MOMENT that gave me the freedom to choose lenses. When I select camera on my iPhone it merely changes from rear to forward facing camera. Can you think of any tips to fix this? I'm not sure disabling the front camera is even an option. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, if your phone has dual cameras then Filmic Pro allows you to switch between them. In the Camera menu you can choose it there or you can zoom between the two. If you use zoom just make sure the zoom lever doesn’t show red (on screen right) or you’re doing a digital zoom. Keep it in the green and you’ll be optical. If you can’t see the dual lenses then you might need to reinstall the app or contact their support.
@@iphoneographers None of this addressed my question. I know how to switch cameras. I didn't need the program to do something that simple. I'll go through support. Thanks.
So, I'm filming in Flat mode but I dont have the possibility to colorgrade it on a pc. I do everything on my phone. Is there a possibility to colorgrade with the phone ? The FX on Kinemaster are bad... Thanks
LumaFusion is great. It’s iOS only though if you’re on Android. VSCO has a video option for grading too.
"John Singer Sergeant"? What's that book? One of the greatest portrait artists of history was John Singer Sargent.
It’s actually an album cover for an indie musician using that name (it’s a stage name and likely a play on words with the painter).
This video editing is giving me a new sensation ♨️
I subscribed because of this video and alsp purchased the app
Thks
What can one expect from an android device? Samsung Galaxy s9 plus for example.
Samsungs are good. As long as they can run Filmic Pro then you’re good to go. Google Pixels are nice, too.
@@iphoneographers Yea im running filmic pro. Can i poke you with more questions at a later time?
Sure thing. 👍🏻
I AM SRTING A LOOK BOOK SOON, JST GOT AN IPHONE, WHAT AFFORDABLE GEARS AND APPS DO U RECOMMEND?
Filmic Pro or Mavis or Moment for video camera app are our favorites. Get a microphone like the RODE VideoMicro. Get a small tripod for photo or tabletop use from Manfrotto or Joby. Maybe a gimbal too like the DJI Osmo 2 or Moza Mini-MI. Good luck!
Can I link it with my SMOVE Mobile?
Not sure. Never used one. We do know Filmic Pro will connect to Osmo 2 and/or Smooth 4 gimbals.
hi need your suggestions in upgrading my system so that my money goes in right direction..i currently edit on my laptop which is macbook pro 2.7 ghz core i5 and 8 gb's of ram..problem im facing here is slow processing in final cut pro and alot of rendering which is annoying,,i'm ready to put my money in new setup but not sure which apple product i should be getting now..please help
Would go with i7 and 32GB RAM or more. If you have the money do the new MBP laptop with a 1TB SSD drive. Or an i7 iMac with 64GB RAM. Or... the the base model iMac Pro is really great. 👍🏻
great thanks..it is helpful:)
I film AND edit on my phone. Not by choice initially, but it's been great. KineMaster is getting close to being all someone might need to edit as long as they can cope with the small screen experience.
I'm no film maker; a vlogger with snappy edits and British humour.
I'll be watching and making notes. Part 1 was instant subscribe for me. Great work. 😊👍
Hey thanks for the comment and sub! We like KineMaster, too. Haven’t done any videos on it but probably should! Our go to app is Filmic Pro, then we typically edit on our desktop or LumaFusion on iPad or iPhone. Great to have a vlogger here, hope our channel will help!
It's been a couple of years since I owned an iPhone, but something to be said for a "locked" ecosystem... Video apps are mostly broken on my brand new Mate 10 Pro. I get external audio & poor picture OR internal mic and better picture. 😂 Also left/right channels get swapped using the selfie camera.
I'm putting aside this evening to catch up with your videos. Thanks guys.
same here 👍
Wow. Best video on RUclips I have watched this year! Thanks so much.
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
When I want to shoot 120 Fps the app says that I cant use the flat profile. Can you use it? Im asking because you didnt said anything about that and i was wondering :) Maybe you can help.
Hi, no you can’t use log or flat with frame rates over 60 in HD or 30 in 4K. This on the current phones. Believe it has to do with heat. The next gen phones will likely allow higher frame rates.
So I need to upgrade in the future. Thanks for the answer. Do you just use the normal profile while filming in 120 fps?
Yes, use the default color profile within Filmic Pro. Then we color grade it in post to give it a more cinematic look.
thank you :)
And how about a stabilizer, should´t be use it?
Sure. Gimbals are great. In this project we kept it simple just using a tripod, but either work depending on the shot or scene.
Your tips and Ideas are Great. Can you share your ideas for better dubbing ?
Thanks! When you say dubbing are you referring to replacing audio like with looping?
@@iphoneographers I'm new to this thing. I don't know anything about dubbing. I think I feel better If I learn that from you. Can you help me?
cool! i like this ! i wanted to do this right now and start film making through phones.. and oh. btw do you have a tutorial on how to have a stabilize video shot using phone? and how to shoot a smooth slow motion using phone.. ?
Good deal, thanks! Hope it helps you. We have lots of different videos on our channel pertaining to these topics. Stabilizing we would probably use a gimbal... And slomo we touched on in this video about 120FPS, but we have some others too. Search on our main channel page and hopefully you can find what you’re looking for! Feel free to ask us more questions, too.
GREAT video. I just tested 1080 HD at 120 FPS and 24 FPS playback and my footage is jerky like every 10th frame is missing. Any ideas?
Video smoothed out with 720 HD at 120 FPS and 24 FPS playback.
Thanks! Typically deleting the app and then doing a clean install will fix any dropped frame issues. But if you do it be sure to save your video first because it will delete that too, all data in the app. Which phone are you using?
IPhone X
Ok. You should have no problems then. Do a clean install or even a re-install of the app and then maybe even a restart of your phone. :) You might also check your settings to see if you’re recording in H.264 or H.265. We recommend H.264. It’s a setting under your main iPhone video settings if you’re not familiar.
Hi guys. Deleted the app, clean install. Restart. Checked H.264. Same issue. Frames are dropped at 1080 HD but smooth with 720 HD.
Dang y’all guys are so awesome. Keep up the hard work and remember quality is key
Thanks! Keep on keeping on and always striving for quality. 🎥👍🏻
Super inspiring. Thank you!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
That makes me wannah make a film of my own... great video!!
Thank for the video. I really agree with the cellphone movie making point of view. If anything it forces you to be more creative. Great job
Thanks! And yes, the limitations can definitely make you more creative. It’s also a lot of fun. :)
Is it worth to invest into filmic pro app for vlogging? Wouldn't it to be the waste of time for color grading every vlog?
Probably wouldn’t shoot log although you could, a lot of RUclipsrs do. But just having the manual control is very helpful. But even if you don’t go with FiLMiC Pro would suggest a third-party app so you can at least set the white balance and exposure and focus independently.
@@iphoneographers OK I get it. Could you recommend settings in FiLMiC Pro especially for vlogging (with profile for color gading)? As we know in vlogging we are not setup focus and white balance manually because we don't have time for that.
-Shoot 4K 24fps
-Use Natural color profile
-Use the “full auto” mode autofocus (double click the normal small reticle to enlarge and it will be centered)
-You can do the same thing with exposure if you like (full screen sample mode) or personally would lock it depending on the shot
-Use the “orange” mode AWB. This will auto WB before you record, but will not change while you’re shooting (very important)
-Use an external mic like a Rode VideoMicro or if using the phone mic make sure and select the proper front or back mic depending on what camera you use (in the audio settings)
Good luck!
iPhoneographers thank you! I will try those settings 😊
