Super Members Mattias Burling Posted October 4, 2015 Super Members Share Posted October 4, 2015 He's saying the Iphone outperforms the D750 for video. Guess we werent watching the same video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgharding Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 100% shot on iPhone 6S in 4K, by P Bloom. And looks like it, because of nasty auto-exposure shifts (Filmic Pro app would help get rid of these) because every single shot is a wide angle, and the only ones with shallow DOF are thus wide-angle close ups.Imagine trying to separate an actor from a busy background, you'd have to put the camera next to their nose! Very flattering...It's a very limiting way to shoot. Any camera can look alright with sunset and some moody piano. Try and make a real project with it though, instead of a blog roll and you'll likely get annoyed. Unless of course you're using "shot on iphone" as your main reason to watch, as some have.Sure you could add lens attachments, rigging, and so on, but why bother? You're then trying to boost up a sensor the size of a lentil rather than just shoot with one of the many great cameras available for not much money.For pick ups, sure why not, sometimes you get a shot you'd otherwise miss: I used iphone footage on a paid job because C100 has no high frame rates. but I don't see much point just using a phone to shoot to make a point...

Damphousse Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 On the original subject I actually use the iPhone for little pickups and stuff, it's pretty good for that. In that way it's more useful than a Nikon SLR! The original video title is just clickbait thoughThat's it. That's why I don't post links to stuff like that and I usually don't watch it.Any real video enthusiast uses their cellphone from time to time to grab shots. But when you get home and open them on your nice monitor you immediately see the flaws. You can cherrypick shots that work really well but you have to ignore the majority of shots that just fall apart for one reason or another clipped highlights, crazy focus breathing from hunting autofocus, crazy narrow staccato inducing shutter angle, jelly out the ying yang, noise, the list goes on.

Guest Ebrahim Saadawi Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Guess we werent watching the same video.We were. That's what he said, repeatedly. It's what the video is all about. Just because he threw in a couple remarks on lenses/rigidty (didn't even make it clear) doesn't make it okay, in fact it makes it worse as innocent viewers get what he's saying is true. This video is gross misinformation to anyone who watches is it, sadly many.

That was a reply to the post with PB iphone video just to clear what his point is on shooting videos with phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmundma Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I dont get, why are people so provoked by the iPhone? Boom shoot a nice video with it. Of coure we would use a more high end camra for most work, but given the limitation in lences etc. It actually capture nicer video then Nikon, but not A7r2. Lets say, you are on a travel and do not have your regular camra, you can use your iPhone and get a ok video. By the way, I have A7r2 , A7s, 5D3 and 1Dx, Shogun + an iPhone. - Of coure we see the limitations, but also the joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgharding Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Personally I'm not provoked by the iPhone, in fact I use it sometimes for quick shots on professional shoots.The thing that provokes me is using misleading titles as clickbait, which in turn serves to misinform those who are learning.

richg101 Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 No amount of resolution can make up for the grain of rice sensor and the associated boring aesthetic it delivers. I'd take 720p and some dof control over 8k from an iphone Damphousse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damphousse Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I dont get, why are people so provoked by the iPhone?No one is "provoked by the iPhone."We just don't like clickbait videos. If people want to be noticed on the internet go out and make good videos about real topics.And let's be honest it was a terrible video. When you shoot a video first you have to ask yourself "who is my audience?" Next you have to ask, "what is the message I am trying to convey?" Based on the reactions in this thread the videographer failed. The only thing he succeeded at is getting clicks.Honestly we should just have an unwritten rule on this forum. If you see a click bait video just keep it to yourself. Don't post it here. Posting it here just causes a Barbara Streisand effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
