- So, with the iPhone 10S, one of my favorite
features is the camera.
I thought it would be fun to put it through its paces,
but on a more extreme level.
Hands down, one of my favorite accessories
for the iPhone is the anamorphic lens from Moment,
which is insane, it's so much fun.
I thought it would be fun to put that through its paces
and stack that side-by-side against a real anamorphic lens
on a rig that costs more than Quinn's Model 3.
So, if you had a Moment case and you use the
wide angle or the telephoto lens,
that's the same idea here.
This is the anamorphic piece, it pops onto the case,
and that's where the magic happens.
So what you're lookin' at right now is being
shot through the Arri Alexa Mini and that
beautiful Cooke anamorphic glass.
One of the easiest ways you can spot an anamorphic
shot is one, that sweet J.J. Abrams style lens flare,
so just point a light at it and it goes crazy.
You could have fun with this for days.
The other way, if you look behind me,
that is actually also what we're doin' right
there with this light here, that's an iPhone
gaff-taped to a post, which I don't recommend
you do at home, but it looks cool, nonetheless.
I actually used that for my full iPhone review,
and if you missed that I'll link that up here or down below.
Lastly, if you look behind me,
those beautiful bokeh balls,
everybody loves bokeh balls.
In this case, as they're not circular,
they're actually oblong,
or oval, because J.D. wanted me to sound
smarter than I actually am.
So now, we're looking through the Moment
anamorphic lens through the iPhone 10s.
This is being done through the Moment app,
which is awesome, because one, it's doin'
all the work for the anamorphic footage,
and two, you can control ISO, white balance,
which is really helpful in this situation.
Now, I'm gonna go ahead and assume that it probably
doesn't look as good as the Arri Alexa Mini footage,
but that is to be expected.
Nonetheless, though, it's pretty awesome
and impressive that you can do this on a smartphone.
We, of course, have that fun, beautiful blue flare here,
and lastly, if you throw that light at it,
you're just gonna have that anamorphic flare for days.

I will say, once you get into those really
low light situations, it does kinda get
a little grainy, so make sure you have a ton of light,
whether it's eccentric light like this,
or when you're closer to sunset or dusk,
you can get some amazing results like this,
like Stevie rockin' that 80s retro jacket like a boss.
Also, drop a huge like for Stevie,
he actually caught that amazing cinematic
footage towards the beginning of this video.
(upbeat electronic music)
Now, towards the beginning of the video,
I was using the DJI Osmo Mobile 2,
which is fantastic for the price,
but to take this rig to the next level,
the Movi Cinema Robot from Freefly is amazing.
It's a little on the pricier side,
but it's built like a tank, and if you're
using the Moment lens or an attachment
or something like a microphone, it's gonna handle
that weight so much better.
So, clearly, the iPhone is not gonna compete
with the Arri or that Cooke glass,
which by itself costs as much as a car,
but nonetheless, it's awesome that you have
something like this on a smartphone.
Now, again, big thanks to Audible for sponsoring
today's video, we're all busy, we're out shootin'
iPhone videos in anamorphic.
It's a little hard to make some time for reading,
but Audible makes that super easy.
Whether you're at the beach or a gym or on a walk,
consuming a book in audio form is amazing.
Speaking of shootin' awesome video,
one book I'm listening to right now is
How to Shoot Video That Doesn't Suck,
which is amazingly helpful.
