Ahoj! This is Zdenka. Budget,
budget, budget. This is budget option. But
I don't know how good it is.
Shall we test it? We should try. Well, how
about in today's video? We're gonna
create
instead of just regular smartphone
looking video like this...
How about we create film like, movie like
video and I'm not talking about how to
edit the b-roll together and cut the
sequence and create the sequence. I'm
talking about the look.
The way the video will actually look. I
just want to know how good this thing is.
Is it worth it or should we save up?
What do you need? Well, you will need your
phone.
Every time I say that I'm gonna be
filming with iphone 12 pro someone
comments below the video.
Well but I don't have a 12 pro, I don't
have an iphone 12 pro.
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what
kind of cell phone you have. You can have
an
Android, you can have an iphone, you can
have one lens more lenses.
Any smartphone goes. Let's do this. To get
more stable shots I'm going to be using
DJI OM4 gimbal since it is compatible
with Filmic pro but
I'm going to be also showing Protake app
because
Filmic pro has certain limitations.
Let's go straight into Filmic pro.
Settings are important
so how do we set this up? I'm going to
make these choices.
Let's go to settings and I'm going to
start with resolution.
I will keep the same aspect ratio as it
is which is
16x9. It is going to change though once I
add a lens to the phone.
I'm going to film in 4k, I'm going to
select Filmic Extreme to have the best
quality
but I'm going to keep 8-bit recording
instead of 10-bit because
if I want to film in 60 frames per
second so I can slow down some clips in
post,
if I select 10-bit it is only allowing
me to film in 24,
25 and 30 frames per second. I will also
check high efficiency codec
since it is available on my phone. That
should keep the file sizes
smaller. Next I'm going to go to frame
rates
and select 60 frames per second capture
and playback.
This way I can slow it down in post
myself. If I selected
60 frames per second capture but 24
frames per second playback,
it would have been already slowed down
which I don't want. Before I set up more
settings in Filmic Pro, let's..
uh let's look at this budget anamorphic
lens.
I did review Moment anamorphic lens
before which is
not that cheap. It's, the pricing is much
higher
and many of you requested if I can show
something a little bit more
budget friendly. When you open the pouch,
you will see that there are few things
already included which is quite
nice actually. You're not just getting
the anamorphic lens.
So obviously first here is the actual
lens which comes with this
nice protective cover. Next we have clips
which will allow you to attach the
anamorphic lens to your phone
in case you're not planning on getting
the actual case. I actually do have
Ulanzi
protective case on my phone which I'm
going to be using
to attach the anamorphic lens.
You can attach the anamorphic lens to
standard or wide angle lens
or telephoto lens. You cannot attach it
to ultra wide
angle lens. What is also included in this
little pouch
is the filter adapter. That's a very good
thing because if you're going to be
filming outdoors, you will film
in manual mode, you need to block the
excessive light and for that you
definitely need
the ND filter adapter.
So looking at this package it already
has a lot of things included. You're
pretty much set. You just need to open it
up and
attach it to your phone and you're ready
to go. So now that I have it attached, I
need to enable it in Filmic
pro. Let's go to hardware and select 1.33
anamorphic adapter. Now I'm getting the
nice
wide look. And as I mentioned before, as
I will be filming indoors, I don't need
a ND filter.
Let's go back to settings and finish
that up.
Color profile. I'm filming in 60 frames
per second so the only option I have
here is
filming in natural profile. I wish I
could film in LOG but
I cannot do that. It's only available if
you are filming up to 30 frames per
second and that's fine. I'm going to lock
the white balance, select 120th
shutter speed. It's 180 degree rule.
You're filming 60 frames per second, you
get to double the shutter speed. That is
why it is 120. 1/120th
of a second. ISO, I'm going to adjust
until I'm quite happy with
what histogram shows. I don't want to
crush blacks or whites.
All data should be nicely in the middle.
Well, let's film this.
Just to show to some who are interested,
I'm using all kinds of different light
sources I have here.
It's always all about the light. The more
balanced, moody you make the interior, the
nicer it is going
to look like in the video. If you just
let the outdoor light all the way in and
the interior is going to be very dark,
you're going to have a pretty hard time
with the final outcome, so try to avoid
filming at noon.
Try maybe for early morning hours or
later in the afternoon. If you are
filming
interiors. So that is it. When it comes to
Filmic pro, you can
take the footage and grade it a little
bit later on in the post to give it
certain look.
But how about if I want to film in
LOG in 60 frames per second?
See, here comes the reason why I actually
like filming in
Protake app. DJI OM4 is not compatible
with this one but
Zhiyun gimbals are. It doesn't matter
though. I'll film with DJI OM4.
Let's go ahead and set the settings. 4k
resolution,
60 frames per second. Frame rate shutter
is 120th.
ISO, I'll pick later. White balance
locked. Lens I'll do wide. I'm going to
go
to settings, keep 8-bit color space
because I can film in LOG-C
profile in this one. Go to accessories
and enable anamorphic lens
there. I'll go back, select LOG-C,
check histogram how it looks, select
appropriate ISO,
I'll keep focus on automatic and ready
to film.
This is very much simplified from Filmic
pro. That is why
I like it. So how this Ulanzi anamorphic
lens?
Well, the image is certainly
a little bit softer. It is not as sharp. I
also noticed that the edges are a little
bit blurred out, there's a little bit
of bending and a little bit of vignette
as well, but
otherwise overall look is quite nice,
the flares are pretty nice.
The look is decent. You get lots for the
money with all the accessories. You
basically need to make a decision based
on what you saw in today's video
if this is the look you're looking for,
this is the look
which will work for you and that's
something you would like to have.
And as always, for those interested, the
link can be found below the video in
video description. I also placed links to
my past tutorials which I think you
might find pretty helpful.

film in Filmic pro
and how to film on your smartphone in
manual mode.
