Learn How to Shoot & Edit Cinematic Videos In just 14 Days 🎥

Great vid! I have been using the Moment WIDE and TELE here and there, but then I bought the regulars Anamorphic and have used it for the last year and half and it’s incredible. In fact, I used it to shoot our short film within our film acting class for kids and everyone was very impressed.
Wow!!! That's another brilliant video from Anthony-Paul productions! This is truly very useful information, as it will help one shoot and create quality work within a budget. Very practical! Thanks, Anthony!
Completely agree with the approach to mastering what you have vs. buying the newest equipment. Sharp and exciting visuals are excellent for photography, but for video, the story and storytelling are as if not more critical and don't require the best visual quality. Good audio definitely is essential also.
With the 3 lenses on the iPhone I've moved on from using external lenses specifically for the reasons you've mentioned like one more thing to carry. The anamorphic content does look amazing, although I'm not a filmmaker. I'd probably use that lens as much as I use my action cam which is very very little.
your content and lessons are truly remarkable. I've learned so much and I can't wait to dive into your net one
Apparently, my new iPhone 13 Pro thinks that my studio lights constitute a “low light environment”. Even next to an open window with bright afternoon light streaming directly in, the slightest zooming produces awful video quality. It took me forever to figure out that the issue is the light, because I never would have believed that that was the missing piece. I chose the pro because it comes with a telephoto camera, not realizing what a waste that camera is. If I had it to do over I’d get the regular 13 and purchase a telephoto lens to use over the standard wide angle camera.
sounds like you may have a defective camera module
What lens would be better for 13??
@@markomclane475 that's an ai issue, not a camera issue. Because most telephoto sensors are so small, phone AI will automatically switch to the main sensor in dark conditions even when zoomed in past the point where it produces usable video.
This isn't just limited to Apple.
The only solution is a third party app that gives you more lens control. Or buy a phone with a bigger tele sensor.
Sounds like a paid sponsor
Should've bought a samsung
The anamorphic lens iPhone footage looks so good that is actually insane!
¡ Espectacular video demostrativo !
Me parece muy aclaratorio, gracias por tu trabajo
I've been wondering about lenses for my iPhone, so thank you so much for this video. I found it very very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Extremely helpful, especially for the "camera" you have with you all the time.
Thanks!
Wow this is super cool on a personal level because I actually know your client that showed you our Anamorphic lens. He is a really cool dude and we helped him with not only lenses but his gimbals as well.
Awesome!
I own Sandmarc lenses for use on my regular iPhone 12. I love the lenses. The only thing I don’t have is a anamorphic lens. I love the space of “mobile rig photography” as I’m breaking into photography I know there’s probably a video on “the best beginner cameras” but this phone is ALWAYS in my pocket and my lenses all fit in a small sling I can easily walk around with without bulk. Is the technology there? Yes and no, I purchased a Apexel zoom lens and you can start to see the degradation of the image when the phone is trying to do more than it’s capable of. Although still fun to use all these and get slightly better than “stock”
I did enjoy your video and thank you for the breakdown and sharing.
As a cranky old guy the transition from film to digital to a complete camera/lab in your pocket has been a whirl wind. Never assume anything though. Wide open f-Stops are great but there are times a pin hole is the answer. Your video is great, loved it. Keep your mind opened though, imagination and thought will serve you well.
Great comment , so true.
I’m curious as to how you are achieving small apertures on fixed aperture phone camera lenses. Software (i.e., camera apps) are only simulating the optical results of a stopped down lens, no? Am I missing something here about the design and construction of the lens or lenses built into our phones (or these accessory lenses)?
As I’m sure you are aware, there needs to be a mechanical means of making the hole smaller (the Iris). This is what gives us deeper depth of field. It’s physics (specifically optics). I’m really not ridiculing you, but I don’t think you’ve thought this through. Or it could be that I’m ignorant and you can set me straight.
Thank you again, for your video. I really enjoy the way you deliver the information. Really straight forward and clear. I always learn something new.
Yes such a great video
Got me wanting to play around with an anamorphic lens.
Great course, great videos!!
The moment gold flair lens is excellent
Awesome content, Thank you for this.
Love this video and the course. You have stepped my creation game up..
Glad to help!
I have a Galaxy Note8 and a 58 mm lens. The most noticeable difference is in the ability to shoot portrait with a bit of bokeh on the main camera. Yes Galaxy Note8 has a Live Focus feature and this is where it gets interesting, when mounting the lens onto the 2nd telephoto camera and uses Live focus not to actually shoot bokeh but to force the camera to use the telephoto one not the main camera and THEN removing the lens, it messed either the telephoto camera or the main camera up by some unknown shenanigans and caused the phone to be unable to take Live Focus shot whatsoever. The fix is simply to clear the camera app cache.
Hey, where did you buy telephoto lens for smartphone? I need one for my A52s, is it available on aliexpress?
@@username3727 Since I bought in on an online shop (specifically, Tokopedia) I'm certain you can find one there. Just search for "smartphone telephoto lens", the lens adaptor that comes with it support large number of smartphone.
Love viewing your TH-cam videos and thank you for sharing this with all of your Content Creators.
Love how you speak about using the aperture and adding lens to you phone, I thought it was interesting. Understanding the Aperture, IOS and Shutter Speed can be crazy by itself but nevertheless you explanation makes it easier to understand. Thanks!
Great review!
Very well explained !!! Thanks a lot!!!
Glad you liked it
I just upgraded my phone to the Samsung S22Ultra. I need to spend some time with it and Filmic to see what's what, but I like your take on the anamorphic lens.
Way to continue your streak of over-delivering on your promises! You and Paul are awesome.
I wouldn't say that your programs have upped my game.
No, knowing what I know NOW, I can honestly say that I had NO GAME before!
Now I do :-D
Thank you!
Hahaha thank you Kenneth, love to hear you're progressing fast!
You're going to love the Samsung S22 Ultra. I hope you upgraded from an iPhone.
Really useful info here. Thanks! The only lens I have is a wide angle/ macro lens and I don't find I use it much since having the iPhone 11. Also appreciate the encouragement not to hold back just because you don't have the top equipment.
Great advice!
For video I use moment and beastgrip anamorphic lenses and a zoom lens. Definitely make a difference. Haven’t used them for photos though. Tried every brand and I would say the beastgrip pro lenses are by far the best for build quality and fit perfectly on the beastgrip or beastcage. Their app is also awesome if you use iPhone
Do you use the latest version of their anamorphic 1.33 or the previous one?
@@oleksii.lopasov Previous version. Don’t know how different the new version is but it’s probably minimal
@@legniak1 th-cam.com/video/3kZGddummNo/w-d-xo.html
This is the new one
Hey so would you say beastcage is definitely better then the moment anamorphic lens?
@@Penguin_ooo as far as build quality I’m definitely taking beastgrip. Image quality is very close. Every single beastgrip item I’ve ever used has been excellent
You actually answered my question by discussing the type of video, and their use with lenses.
Love to hear that!
I have a set of Insignia lenses, which included a Macro , Wide Angle, and Fish Eye lenses. I shoot mostly still images, and the most frequent lens I use is the Macro. The kit only cost about $40.00 and also include mini tripod and remote shutter button. it is in no way professional grade lenses but I am happy with the quality.
Good info, thanks.
That footage at 9:10 is beautiful. I cannot believe this was a full year before the iPhone 15 with Apple Log came out. Definitely getting one of these anamorphic lenses.
Thanks!
Anamorphic is a fun additional lens. But the most useful hands down is a macro. Obviously a specialty lens, but no pseudo macro mode really compares. It's absolutely a wonderful tool
One question I’ve been dying to know is, Can u take it off and reattach it?
@@Crawf08 The answer is yes. For refrence you can see a lens being twisted onto the the phone case mount from 9:41 - 9:44. That's real time. It might take a little time to adjust the lens to your phone in the case of the anamorphic lens. The other thing to account for with the anamorphic is the software to shoot with and process the video.
@@tommanseau6277 appreciate the info🙏🏽
@@Crawf08 Happy to help😁
I thought this was a very well done video with a great, to the point explanation. Especially since I don't know much about camera specifications.
The details and the knowledge of photography terms are great. Thanks a lot
You're welcome!
The advice at around 11 mins just saved me from over spending… for now 😊
I love the anamorphic lens I just recently shot a 1 minute short with it on my channel called Unbalanced and it was amazing.
Very good information. I've watched the video three times! I live in the UK so access to lenses such as Moment or Beastgrip is more difficult as I buy only from Amazon UK where the return is hassle free so I bought a ShiftCam 60mm . I used it with my iPhone 13 Pro two days ago . The resulting images shot outdoor were so beautiful!
The original, unchanged images even looked like cinema.
I was using Mavis because something went wrong with beastcam, my favourite cam app, as the images were over exposed no matter what I tried. I have a great dislike for filmic pro and its primitive, labyrinth like interface so I use either Beastcam or Mavis . I am a broadcaster cameraman and feel at home with those two apps. Can't say the same about the erratic, poorly designed filmic pro.
I think it's definitely worth having smartphone camera lenses. The only problem I had was with the case and extra costs. Those clips to attach lens to phone simply don't work so you do need to get a specially designed phone case that is made by the lens manufacturer in order to get a perfect attachment of the lens to your phone. But cases such as ShiftCam's case are not any near as protective as my UAG Monarch carbon fibre case, for example, and I wasn't willing to shoot outdoors with my expensive iPhone without proper protection. Fortunately, there was a solution. Shiftcam's "in case lens mount "is compatible with my UAG body armour so I could use the Shiftcam lenses with the UAG case . The best of both worlds.
The. problem with the extra cost is that If I buy a beast grip lenses then I will need to buy a beast cage as well and that alone costs as much (or more ) as a lens, for example. And to get a" in case lens mount "for iPhone 13 Pro I have to buy the case which comes with the lens mount which I couldn't find to buy separately (there is one for iPhone 12 Pro. I guess it will fit?)
Nope it wont fit, Iphone 12Pro and 13 Pro have different camera dimensions. I had great interest buying a shiftcam incase camera protector like you and wrote the support of shiftcam. They said that there were many negative Revisions of the Phone getting to bulky with the incase product applied. So you will definitely have to buy the whole set: Case+Mount
Great advice, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Best beginners guide there is!
Glad you think so!
My previous iPhone 6, I had four Oloooclip lens for it, I now have a iPhone SE. The SE has one camera on it and I am researching lens to shoot video for my TH-cam channel. Your video was very helpful. Thank you.
What’s the channel name ?
Very informative video. Personnally, the reason I’m now only using my iPhone 14Pro for photography, is the fact I always have it on me and I don’t have to lug around extra lenses. So I’m not about to look for other lenses to install on my phone before taking a photo. I do with what I have and surprisingly, I manage.
Love it! The portability is my favorite aspect.
Nice honest opinion. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this! Any recommendations on a lense for iPhone 11 Pro Max for a sporting team sizzle vid
Great video. Great channel. I always learn something new.
Love to hear that!
man ive been looking for these answers for HOURS, found your channel way earlier and watched a different video along the way lol, now im back and got an ACTUAL comparison video. I was looking at Beastgrip and needed to know if the lenses were worth it, im more interested in a cage or case with mounting adapters for ND filters and tripod mounting. Now i know in short, the lenses arent a waste, with phone cameras being so good now, but can be useful under the right circumstances. TY
Also for whatever reason, Moment skipped over the S22...saw PeakDesign featured on another channel but that case comes with complications due to the magsafe, but has really nice looking accessories...sad me.
I would love to see a video from you on the new studio mac for film editing. What is your take on this new product?
Awesome and really helpful
Glad you think so!
Needed this! Almost done with the entire vid and I’m READY to purchase what you put in the description! Thank you for this video!!!
I was shying away from an anamorphic lens but your Pikes Place picture and hiking video has me thinking about getting the gold glare Moment lens. All I was seeing at Sandmark’s website was blue streaks which I didn’t like at all. Thank you for the information. Likes, commented and subbed with the bell notification.
Thank you sir!
Love the video! Thanks so much. And thanks so much for including all of us 14 Day Filmmaker fans in the new 14 Day film maker for smartphones addition. I just signed up and can’t wait to dive in.
Our pleasure!

@@MrPaulXavier Is there one you recommend for the Samsung note 10+?
Rock solid info👍👍
Thank you!
Great information thank you.
You bet!
I own moment anamorphic lens and with iphone IS shots with this lens are terrible when I use it on handheld because stabilization system on iphone struggles which creates wobbling picture in video. On a gimbal this effect still persist but not so obvious
What’s ibs?
@@eden20111 Sorry IS(Image Stabilization)
EXCELLENT VIDEO!! I appreciate how well round and informative your content and insights were. Very helpful and full of explanations. I just wish l knew which kits are best and what works are best with a Samsung Galaxy Note.
I will defs check out your course too! Smart ideas!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Luana! Appreciate the feedback 🔥
@@MrPaulXavier Of course! Love the content, I got the course btw. ❤❤❤
I am in need of a 58mm and macro lens for my samsung note, any recommendations?
I’m a bit late here, but I’ll ask anyway. I’m a amateur macro photographer, my object of preference are Arthropods and they are frequently pretty small. I have an iPhone 13 Pro and it has trouble finding focus, besides it demands that I use my fingers to blind the other lenses in order for it to not change the “best” one for the taking. Do you think I should buy a macro lens for my phone?
Yes, but once you put a tele-converter onto something that's f/1.5 it's no longer 1.5. The quality difference you're seeing is from the sensor size. The wide has about 4x the surface area of the tele lens.
The aperture doesn't change when using lens adapters (what these smartphone lenses are) since the iPhone 14 pro has an effective aperture of f6.3 you essentially take 24mm f6 3 camera into a 58mm f6.3 resulting in much better DoF
I've got the Moment lenses (Telephoto, macro and wide angle). All are good occasionally.
And I think I'll get the anamorphic lens. I used to have iphone 6, but now iphone 13 pro. The macro is my favourite most used, but if I start trekking again that might change.
Do u see any benefit of adding the 3 lense to ur iphone 13 pro as against native lenses? I am considering buying these lenses for my iphone 13 pro so seeking ur opinion?
do the lenses work flawlessly on the 13 pro? I would like to buy the anamorphic and the tele and I was wondering if there’s some vignetting or some problems with them
I like comparisons and explained image formats on smartphones especially with being transparent about them. So I looking into a Anamorphic flare lens cause that is way I use to shoot with my film for amateurs many many moons ago wih a suoer 8 mm.camera before smartphones where even thought about and had. With that beong the case these new smartphone anamorphic lenses that are out now seen really great until one has to use the software in apps to make good and here by hangs the tale some reviews of the app called "FILMIC" are NOT really good. So what should I do get the anamorphic lens and see whaf happens with aop or not so does this lens need processing or does it work straight out the box for a android phone? Thanks.
What about ND filters for strong sunny dalys or cloud? Which one would you recommend? 🤔
Completely agree...!!!
Just curious, I’m filming basketball games on my regular iPhone 14. Would there be any lenses beneficial to filming these games?
So with my current iPhone SE and two Moment lenses 14 & 58mm the lenses are great for photography. I don’t do video. But now I’m stepping up my camera to a iPhone 14 Pro and I’m wondering if I will need or use my lenses. For photography on the 14 Pro I thinking I really just need the phone and a polarizing filter. Ok maybe an ND filter or two.😎 I’ll probably try lenses to see but may not carry them around.
What do you recommend for wide angle lens for filming volleyball?
Nice video and great info. I'm not a massive fan of the lines that the anamorphic lens gives when I make my hiking videos, I feel they are too intrusive to the footage, but i do like the 'feel' that it gives, the cinematic feel without the black lines. However, I would like improve my videos with lenses, zooming in without losing the image quality, which one would you recommend? I have a Samsung s20 which I think has decent video quality but not so much when I zoom in digitally. Thanks!
The digital lens flares are not really cinematic. We’re fooling ourselves and/or buying into marketing hype if we think so. Here’s the thing: 1) Lens flare in general is not desirable and professionals go to great lengths to avoid it. 2) When it is unavoidable, it looks very different than the digital look of horizontal lens flare bars. 3) That said, lens flare might on rare occasion be an aesthetic choice.
Which brings me to the abomination that is JJ Abrams. I don’t know if he is the original abuser of post production lens flares, but he’s certainly a major abuser/over user of lens flare created in post. Maybe some believe that he expanded film vocabulary, but I think he created a rather stupid cliche. Still, it was an artistic choice, even if I personally think it was a bad one in most cases.
My issue with anamorphic lens flare today is we’ve somehow learned not only to accept it, but to desire it. It’s like we’ve cultivated a taste for shit sandwiches to compensate for the fact that we have to occasionally eat a shit sandwich. We should avoid eating shit sandwiches when possible and not intentionally make them a regular part of our cinema creation diet.
I own a moment anamorphic lens. In addition to the flare issue, it suffers from distortion and softness in the corners. Sadly, every other anamorphic lens for phone cameras I’ve seen is even worse. I was hoping the Smallrig lens would offer an improvement, but it doesn’t.
I am all in favor of working with the equipment that I have, mastering it so I can minimize its deficiencies, and learning techniques to overcome these deficiencies or to meet new challenges. I’m considering fabricating or purchasing a French flag to help kill lens flare, and/or acquiring a matte box with hard mattes.
To be honest, I’m fighting a sense that I would be defeating the primary purposes of using a phone camera, which are ease of use/availability and lower cost (using something I already own rather than having to acquire or rent an expensive camera system and all the lenses and accessories).
*What is best for taking concert videos/photos? When watching from way afar*
How do you talk so fast? You pack a lot into each video. Thanks so much.
So what type of lens do you recommend for video recording.. the zoom on my 13pro compared to Apple products or even the 14pro is drastically different
Any thoughts on the Bostionye kit for an iPhone 13 Pro Max?
Just curious, is it better than the wide angle lens on the note 20 ultra or the same?
Such great content. I'm curious if your thoughts are the same for filming sports. Are there any 3rd party lenses that you would use for sports. Super long telephoto? Something like Monocular Telescope 4k 10-300x40mm, Adult High-Power HD, with Smartphone Tripod Adapter, 30x Zoomable Bak4 Optical Prism for Outdoor Birding, Hunting, Camping, Travel, Concerts. Anyway, my favorite thing about the 14 day filmmaker course is that the concepts are laid out clearly, and then the application is there to execute the concepts. A great match of theoretical and real-world application.
I've never used it so I can't speak from experience, but my gut tells me trying to film THAT long of a focal length with an iPhone would be hard. With how small and light the phones are they're super susceptible to micro shakes which only get exaggerated at longer focal lengths.
From what I'm seeing the Telephoto is on the top left, Main camera right below it & the Ultrawide on the middle right right? And on the moment phone case you can screw on 3rd party lenses to those 1st two lense while the Ultrawide doesn't have thread to screw lense on to am I right again? if yes, why doesn't the case have thread over the Ultrawide, thanks.
This helps! I recently got the 13 and didn’t want to have to buy a lens for it too
Awesome! Glad to help!
Any suggestions on what type of anamorphic lens to shoot food videos using my iPhone 14 max pro?
Great analysis, thanks. I actually got the blue flare Moment Anamorphic lens for my iPhone 14 Pro because I want to shoot music videos. I was just considering also getting the 58m one but I think what you are saying about the in-phones lenses being good enough will let me spend that $$ on lighting instead. :-)
Light is everything
You’re almost always better off building your lighting and grip package than “investing” in most phone camera accessories. Your lights are device and system independent, compatible with everything.
Very good, I do agree with you and would say that you bring an honesty to photography! My tip to you is slow down, just a tad, it’s not going to be easy but you will gain a greater number of subscribers!
Thanks for the tips!
I bought one for my S22. The wide angle aspect of it is a dumpster fire. When I take it down to the macro lens, it's amazing.
Just purchased 14 FM and looking forward to learning.
Welcome aboard!
Great video! Can I use add on lenses on my front camera, will that help? I have I phone 13 and front camera quality sucks
I would recommend avoiding the front camera all together!
SO I just recently purchased the 58mm from Moment, Im expecting good things based off of many reviews. I have gotten to know my Galaxy S20+ very well, I wanted to go the next step and see what I could accomplish with a third party lens. I have been a mobile photographer for 10+ years, and this is my first time trying a legit lens for a smartphone. I hope I made a good choice in buying the 58mm. For photography not videography.
any update?
What lense would help with Depth of field and blurred background???
Always like your video always love your work brother God bless you brother assadali from Kenya Mombasa Africa
What is the name of the website where you bought the anamorphic lens?
Thank Anthony
Thanks man
For sure!
Hello. I loved your video. Was it shot with the Iphone 13 ? Thank you
Thanks for the feedback!
Hey recently, just bought an iPhone 14
In exchange for my iPhone 13
Currently, I have an anamorphic lens, 1.33 X which is not compatible with the iPhone 14 - I have an nd filter from Sandmarc I was wondering is there an anamorphic lens that will screw onto my nd filter? That you could recommend.
For my iPhone 14pro max
Can you put a wide angle lens over the iPhones existing ultra wide lens?
Great video!! I agree with you!!! But … what About filters ?? A VND coulomb bê cool tô have… which one you recomend… differents mounts… differents way of attaching them….
I highly recommend ND filters
@@MrPaulXavier Whats are the best ways you know to attack them ti iphone 14pro??
I use my iPhone 12 Pro Max for bodybuilding shows to update to Instagram quickly. The 2.5x lens is relatively fast at f/2.2 and refused to upgrade as the later models had slower telephoto lens.
Hello i want to know pls what the best app for iPhone lenses for free? And how can i change the screen after make video with the anamorphic lens for that it will look like cinematic screen.
I prefer the beastcam app
what camera app are you using for iphone
Hello where I can buy it pls sir?
Hey there! I have an iPhone 11 and I find that my photos are just poor quality. Plus, whenever I post them to instagram, they are totally blurry.
If I am going on Safari in Africa, could the anamorphic lens serve me well?
I am looking to get a polarized lens for my iPhone 14 Pro & 13 to get rid of the reflection and glare filming through the train window. It was at early sunset which I wanted to capture but the reflection and glare was strong, it picked up my reflection and my device.
I am using "Samsung galaxy a52s"
Can recommend me
1) lens for Portrait
2) lens for Macro
Do you have lens recommendations for the iPhone 13 (not pro) and do you upload your footage to iCloud after shooting?
I would recommend the same exact accessories I talked about in this video, the moment lenses are all compatible with all versions of iphones. I do not upload to a cloud, I use external hard drives
Can I shoot videos by iPhone’s stock camera with anamorphic lens?
Is it really worth? Sharp pic?
I own the same phone and moment lenses you mentioned, and I agree with your findings: I use the anamorphic, not the other lenses...
That's great 👍
How far does your phone have to be from you if you want to use the moment 58mm lens over the standard iPhone lens to get a talking head type shot (so it looks like the talking head shot here)? Anyone know?
I own a 18mm. But now I have a 13 Pro Max. Now I am torn whether to buy a normal case or a Moment case.
I need a good lens that focuses when i zoom into something without it looking like a blurrr.....i have a android s21 5g, n looking for a good lens that doesnt blur when zoomed in
