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.

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!

iPhone 13 brought a new level to shooting videos! You should definitely do a comparison video between Red X iPhone 13!

For YouTube 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

Had fun modeling for you! Great video 👍👏

I don't know what it is it's the RED colour science or something else but RED footage it's really fascinating.
some of the best tips i've heard in this video

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.

Excellent... Nothing stopping young movie creators now if they have iPhone and gimbal... Recently I bought a Smooth C for little cash and it's brilliant..

[LUE-dr]

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

[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..

Tomorrow filmmaker is my one the favorite chanel I Daily watch your videos and learning lot ..love from Pakistan ❤️👍💯

[GroovedMusic]

you ca easily see the difference if you have an eye for it or just a nice monitor

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)

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 basis? Is it just that this is the future? I would love to understand better. Looking forward to your reply.

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

[jarrettyew]

Came at the right time! Awesome video. :D

[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.

[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

[LooseJointhiphopdance]

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

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 YouTube)
