Cinematic iPhone 14 Pro Videography

On TV, some of the cinematic shots on a smartphone are not always believable. There must be some cheap shots to pull it off like it's a real one.

However, Helms took smartphone videography to the next level when he showed how it's done on the latest iPhone handset. As 9to5Mac reports, the videographer unveils that he often relies on the setup's neutral density filter and gimbal.

Although the requirements to achieve the shots are reachable, Helms is aware that it still needs heavy editing on his part. It's also time-consuming in the first place, starting from trimming the footage and choosing the best photos for the cinematics.

Below is a two-minute plus video of his shot using the iPhone 14 Pro. The videography shows the beauty of Chicago throughout the day.

How to Capture Cinematic Shots Using iPhone 14 Pro

Helms asked his viewers if they wanted a tutorial video of the cinematics photography on the smartphone. Undoubtedly, everyone wants to learn the tricks behind this magic.

The editor said that the first thing you need to know is to set the exposure and focus of your iPhone. Additionally, he also suggests that to under-expose the sensors by two-thirds of a stop.

Helms further adds that you need to utilize a third-party camera app to gain control of the shutter speed. He recommends the viewers use Filmic Pro and set it up at 24fps. This is the standard that cinema producers follow if they want to make stunning footage of the environment.

Aside from that, you also need to use a variable ND filter to obscure some light pointing to the subject. If you have no access to this filter, then you can opt for the clip-on unit which Helms currently uses when taking shots.

Helms also reveals that his DJI Osmo Mobile 6 gimbal is his go-to option for this. He pairs it with a bigger one.

The filmmaker says that shooting in ProRes is good, but he issues a warning about this since it can consume huge files at once. He goes for this set so he can achieve his desired color grading for every cinematic shot.

Apart from this, Helms also discusses how to use the Cinematic mode in your smartphone properly. Macrumors will teach you how to enable the 4K quality through this if you want to get started with this resolution feature.
