18. How We Got iPhone 15 to Look Like an 8K Cinema Camera

What is a cinema camera? In terms of specifications, most professionals shoot ProRes 4K in 10bit log to an SSD. Since iPhone 15 now now has those specs, I wonder how far the iPhone 15 can go simply treating it like any other ProRes 10bit cinema camera? With the right talent, the right equipment, and the right software, we think we can inch smartphones a little closer to the cinematic arena. If you want to be a filmmaker, shooting a movie on an iPhone should not be your end goal - but if a smartphone is all you have access to, it’s a great place to start. One of the best aspects of democratization is that it enables individuals who lack resources to access higher-quality tools. In this episode, we compare the iPhone 15 cinema mode to the RED Monstro by rigging out the iPhone as a cinema camera and using an A.I. post-production pipeline to get the image looking as close as possible (hint: you might be more impressed than you’d like to be by the results.)
