You want to get cinematic video with your iPhone? We can do it with Sandmarc's
anamorphic lens. now this lens is specially designed for the iPhone in my
case this is the iPhone 7 this one is designed for the iPhone 7 iPhone 8 and
let's open it up and see what's inside you're gonna be able to get that
cinematic look that you see in theaters with this lens now this lens is not like
those other cheap lenses out there or you can add on and it they do okay this
is more of a premium lens it's really someone who's serious about filmmaking
and with technology changing all the time now we can make great video just
with our phone and this is nice for anyone who travels or doesn't want to
lug around a lot of gear but still doesn't want to compromise for image
quality and wants to get a unique look doesn't want it to look like iPhone
footage really wants it to look like cinematic footage all your friends will
be like no way you shut that on a phone right so that's what this lens does so
inside is really nice they give you this little pouch those cloth pouch this is a
clip that you clip it on with onto your phone and then this is the lens right
here now you're only gonna need that clip if you use your normal phone cover
cm mark provides its own cover for you so you can just use that it's a lot
easier so this is the same mark phone holder the nice thing about this is that
it screws right in so you don't have to worry about your cover not being the
right one so you can still protect your phone so this screws on and off easy so
you capture the image without any time wasted all right so what I did it was go
to one of my favorite parks over here and just set up my phone this is just a
normal view how you'd record there's no special lens right here you just see it
normal out of camera that's how it looks and then we put on the same mark in a
morphic lens and as you can see there's more stuff in the lens but it looks kind
of funny it looks all scrunched up it doesn't look right and that's because we
have to change it in post-production and this is the final image as you can see
just not without any special lens on just out of the phone just straight out
of the camera and then we look at the same mark and morphic lens and you can
see after you post process it it looks like this looks a lot better
looks very cinematic has a nice cinematic feel I wasn't really too
concerned with the focus and looking at them side-by-side you can see right here
with no lens it looks just like a normal video but with
the anamorphic lens you get so much more in that shot it's not only wide-angle
after you adjust it in post you have that thin black line on the bottom and
on the top that letterbox as they call it and it looks great
now nearby there's this little pond so I went down there just set it up this is
just shooting normal you can see writing camera and just press record and this is
what we get now I put on the anamorphic lens right there I try to adjust it make
sure that line is matched up there's a line on top of the lens that helps you
match it right up so you know you have it perfectly aligned same mark does a
good job of that and then as you view it everything looks vertically straight up
and down fine but it looks squeezed it's squeezed by 1.33 and I'm gonna show you
later in this tutorial how to adjust that so we're gonna go over the entire
editing process so don't worry about that right this second and right now we
can see it just normal out of camera and then we look at it with the anamorphic
lens on by Sam mark and you can see looks great alright for a shot like this
you want to get wide-angle for landscapes for setting the scene and
just getting that cinematic look instantly makes it look a lot better and
this is just a demonstration to show you what the lens looks like with and
without the lens I'm going to show you some of the characteristics shooting
into the light in just a second here so you can see both of these lenses side by
side right here and the difference is obvious again alright guys so I am in
South Beach and have my phone right down here and I like shooting into the Sun
anytime you shoot into the Sun your image is gonna look a little more
cinematic you can get that nice flare and what's nice about this lens is the
fact that when I use it I can get this really nice flare that has the
characteristic of a professional lens that you can't really get with anything
else but this so you're not gonna be able to get it with your normal phone
lens so it has that nice beautiful flare we're shooting into the Sun and of
course it's an anamorphic lens so everything the blurry background we have
a few trees in the foreground the background with that
whole because it's not a perfect circle like your phone is the lens has it's an
oval shape you get those nice round those nice oval shapes for the
background which is really nice and when people see that especially filmmakers
they think wow that's a really expensive lens but it's really not that expensive
for named anamorphic lens so what I'm gonna do here is take a bunch of
different shots and the reason I'm shooting low two rather than higher is
because I want to get some of those those trees up in the air and oftentimes
I like to get the Sun you can see the Sun right here I like to get it like
right in the corner of the frame so when it's kind of like in the corner side it
gets that nice flare into the shot if it goes too straight on sometimes it's too
much like right now it's a little too harsh whereas if I were to move it and
we're a little more like that like on the side of course this lens isn't that
great of a lens but you're gonna see it with this lens so let's get started all
right so the first shot I got the lens on the front right here
alright guys now I'm going to show you how to dese Cui's this footage in Final
Cut Pro X and Adobe Premiere Pro so let's jump right into our computer
alright guys so I have all my footage in the timeline right here as you can see
and from this little bar over here all the way down all this footage is shot
with the anamorphic lens so I put all this footage together if you want to
organize it like that it's up to you depends on what you're doing but I'm
gonna show you an easy way to edit I've seen a lot of tutorials online that make
this way too complicated have you download other apps and just do all
these different things start a new project you don't have to do any of that
I'm gonna make it so much simpler okay so what we do is we just pick a clip so
let's pick a clip I just looked at these two Clips over here this one was shot
normally as you can see and this one was with the anamorphic lens and obviously
there's distortion there so what you do is you go up here and now what we're
gonna do is on the y-axis not the x axis but the y axis since you D squeezed by
1.33 okay what I did was for the y axis I just divided that by 1.33 I can
multiply it here but then the frames gonna be super long and we're not going
to have the nice little black space up here and up here so to do it the
simplest way we just divide by one point three three which gives us 75 point one
nine so we just put 75 point one nine right there and we are done that is it
it is all done you can see go down here to transform and you can see it's lined
up perfectly and looks great now that we have it for this one we need to do it
for all the clips now we can't just individually do it we could do that but
it's gonna take forever that's gonna be so time-consuming so when I go down here
I I press command-c to copy and then what I'm gonna do is now I'm
just gonna zoom out and I'm gonna highlight all the clips that I want to
change so all these clips right here and then what I'm gonna do is go up to edit
and then I'm gonna go down to paste attributes okay and if you see right
here the scale is checked which is the most important one because that's what
we're doing we're changing the scale because you can see over here so we just
put pasted and that's it we're all done so now all our Clips as
you can see they all are set to the 1.33 wide-angle all set with anamorphic lens
for the stuff that you shot and that's a fast easy way to Dees quiz your footage
in Final Cut Pro X now let's go into premiere okay so now we're in Premiere
Pro and I just imported a few Clips because we don't need to use all of them
it's fine with just a couple you'll get the idea after I'm in Premiere Pro what
I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go over here on top and I'm gonna go to effect
controls when you highlight the clip make sure you unclick this where it says
uniform scale on unclick that that way you have the option for both the scale
height and the scale width because you want to do the height so once you have
your image highlighted what you're gonna do is you're gonna go up to scale height
and for the scale height you just put 75 point one nine just like we did in Final
Cut and when you press Enter you're all done that's scale to size and you just
do the same thing command you go to the clip command C and we can go down to
edit and actually let's highlight our other Clips first we go to edit paste
attributes and make sure everything there is check that we need scale
attribute times cool press okay and now these ones should be done as well okay
guys I don't know why it's not doing it premiere maybe you can leave it in the
description below why it's not pasting attributes to all of them you can do it
individually with - pain in the butt and I don't know why
it's not pasting attributes normally it does so someone will let me know in the
comments but you can still do it this way it's still pretty easy and that's it
that's it for Premiere Pro alright guys that's it for the editing hope you
enjoyed this entire video tutorial this lens is so small it's about the size of
a little bigger than a quarter maybe a 50-cent piece maybe not even that big
probably just a little bigger than a quarter and you can just toss in your
bag carry it around with you and if you want your phone footage to look more
cinematic have that in a morphic look and that's it
i'm Brett Garamella with BrettGaramella.com if you haven't done so please
