  • In this video, I challenged myself to shoot entirely on my old iPhone 6s. There are definitely some challenges to shooting a youtube video on a smartphone regardless of how new it might be but hopefully, this video helps you get past some of the biggest issues I've experienced with shooting on my iPhone 6s.

    Love this video. I make short sci-fi films with an old Google Pixel (the original) and now with an LG-V30. One thing that I must say is that you're color grade really gives the video footage a film look. Can you do a tutorial on how you color grade as that's what gives me the most issues?

    Nigel, I am a small youtuber with 100+ vlogs on the channel shot entirely with iPhone SE first and iPhone XS then. I really need help on the tech side cause I'm good at storytelling, I'm good at video editing, but I feel like my head would like to explode when I think about how to improve the actual image quality of my videos. I loved this video you just posted, but I really wished you took each one of the points you talked about and made a video for each one of them, cause I didn't understand much about how to practically apply your tips. For example the apps: great! Finally I know in which one to invest. But then I know that I'll have NO IDEA of how to use it, so it will probably stay there untouched. Filters? Never thought about them! But when you tried to explain the correlation between controlling exposition and moving image I didn't understand any of it. 00:45 what did you show there? How can I reach the two different results?
    You have a great channel about video making and I see it growing very big! We need you Nigel. I'm sure you'll find the way to make some even clearer and informative videos. Thanks for all you're doing and keep it up

    Doesn't filmic pro provide shutter speed ISO and exposure adjustment manually ? Do I really need that ND filter

    • @NigelBarros
      @NigelBarros  3 роки тому +1

      Yeah but when shooting video you need to have a shutter of twice that of your frame rate. So when shooting at 24p for instance, your shutter needs to be at 1/48 for proper motion blur. The problem is in bright sunlight 1/48 will let in too much light, so an ND filter will be the only way to bring down your exposure on a smartphone. Lowering your iso won’t bring the exposure down enough and there’s no way to close down the aperture on phones so shutter speed is the only real way to control exposure. Again the problem is having super fast shutter speeds is the biggest thing that will make your video look amateur, keeping it at double the frame rate is key, that’s why an ND filter is essential to smartphone videos, especially shooting outside

    The truth is - without any intention to offend you, is that nothing about this video is "pro". The only thing that's really amazing in this video is mother nature. If you visit these amazing places they will even look amazing on old devices, because we're not amazed by the quality of the camera here or the insane color grading or the great cinematic camera movements (which didn't exist at all), but simply the backgrounds.
    I don't say this to bash on you, I'm sure you have improved a lot since back then (without even checking your channel, only seen this video), but with all these phone footages from people visiting some of the biggest places on earth filming huge mountains and waterfalls and stuff, we should really all be able to understand WHAT we like on a video and not be misguided. Because the disillusionment will be pretty big if we'd now head out there to buy an iPhone 6s only to figure out that it doesn't produce as half as astonishing footages back in our garden or down the street.
