Can you spot the phone shots?
I shot this project for
@KiaUSA , brought on by the talented creator
@asenseofhuber , it was a whirlwind project in which we only had a couple days to film everything you see here (and some extras that didn’t make the cut).
It was a team of just myself and Kyle so we had to be ultra efficient about every decision we made and set ups had to be lighting quick in order to capture everything we needed.
Many times a proper cinema-camera setup just wouldn’t be possible in the time constraints, so I leaned on my iPhone 15 Pro Max to fill the gaps and capture setups in a 1/4 of the time it would normally take.
I used the
@moment video app to capture in 4K ProRes LOG, as well as a variable ND, CPL and 1/4 black pro mist diffusion filter to make it look as close as possible to my cinema camera that was capturing the rest of the content: the
@LumixUSA S1RII with Lumix Pro glass, shot in 6k prores HQ to an external SSD.
I think they ended up matching seamlessly and I’ve been in awe since getting this phone that I have a device in my pocket that can capture video for high-end productions.
Huge shout-out to
@collin_fpv who helped us capture the drone footage, as well as offered up his gear truck to use for shooting the rollers of the Kia Telluride, to Kyle for bringing me on this project and trusting me to shoot/direct/edit and to Kia USA for giving us creative freedom to make something special in the short amount of time.
Anyone that guesses the correct phone shots in the comments below gets a special digital download DM’d to ya!
