Frequently Asked iPhone Filmmaking Questions:

  • iPhone 17 Pro Max 1TB. Utilsiing the Blackmagic camera app. Shot in Apple Log 2, Opengate using ProRes RAW for the codec.

  • Davinci Resolve 20

  • I follow a pretty standard process for all of my iPhone footage grades. Shoot in Apple Log in ProRes RAW for maximum color fidelity, and dynamic range + Bit-depth. Bring it into resolve, apply my Apple Log conversion LUT first, and work from there. I have a Powergrade template that I use in resolve to speed up the workflow too, which includes Davinci Resolves Film Look Creator.

  • Extremely straight forward setup, only really utilised my Amaran 200x and 100d for the library sequences.

  • It’s such a small versatile camera, that requires minimal crew and setup time. Allowing us to focus on what matters, filmmaking, storytelling, and just having fun doing it all.

  • I applied a Magic Mask and power window (depending on the shot) to the foreground subject, to mask it OUT, of a radial blur effect applied. A free, included effect available inside of Davinci Resolve 20.
