Hi Michael, thanks! :)) No, I specifically bought the iPhone with 1TB of internal storage (bought second hand, which made this more affordable btw.) which would last me at least a couple days of intense shooting. However when travelling and shooting a lot I'd just offload all the footage from my phone to external hard drives every evening to have a fresh start. I shoot in 4K 25fps. Btw. when you turn on Log, the iPhone indicates how many minutes you can record - so just for context: After offloading my footage and "starting fresh" the next day I'd usually have around 60 - 75 minutes of free space. :)

Hi Teo! Amazing video as always. Do you save your ProRes log footage to an external device when shooting on your iPhone? What resolution do you shoot your log footage in? Thanks!

Hi Marios, are you on PC/Mac or on mobile? I've noticed that these downloads often act strange on mobile. So if that's the case, try it out on the computer, in which case you simply need to click the attachment and it will instantly download :)

For some reason im not able to download the “orange and teal”lut. Im clicking on “save file” but pop up window closes automatically for some reason without allowing me to actually save it.

Hi Miguel! First, let me comment on the filters: While I love the Cinebloom filter, they really just make a small difference, that to someone like me who is looking for near perfection in their imagery is important, but realistically speaking, it's just details that many don't even notice. I personally value details, I think that is what makes work valuable, but I just want to clarify, that by using just an ND-filter you're already 80% done, because the motion blur created by the ND filter is much more important that the little bit of bloom that the Cinebloom filter creates. As for the process to recreate it in post: You have two options - one is by using a plugin called Dehancer, which is a film emulation plugin I use for halations and grain. It also has the option to add a bloom effect. However, this is just the fancy way of doing it. You can actually easily create the effect without any plugins in Premiere Pro. What you need to do is duplicate the clip and just lay it on top, so that you have the same clip twice on top of each other. Then add Gaussian Blur to the upper clip and make it blurry - maybe like 40-60 will do, but you can just try it out and see what works. After making it blurry you then set the opacity of the upper clip to as weak or strong as you like. I usually go for 6-8% to keep it subtle. By playing around with the Blurriness-slider and the opacity you can define the strength of your self-made bloom :)

Hi Teo! You mentioned that instead of using the Cinebloom filter, you can opt to just add the effect in post. What program would you use to do this? And is it hard to do for a relative beginner such as myself? Asking this because we can't stack Moment quicklock filters. I could always do your setup but that would cost a bit more. I'm quite certain (based on their YT and reddit comments) that Moment is actually working on a quicklock filter that will combine both VND and Cinebloom, which would be amazing. If they do come out with this in the near future, do you think the quality/outcome will be just as good as stacking both filters such as your setup? Or do you think some things will have to be compromised? Apologies for the many questions. Love your content btw! You've essentially inspired me to take up a new hobby haha

Hi Marios, yes, that is correct, though keep in mind that I only chose the 67mm size, so that I can use the filters on my Sony's lens too, which has a 67mm filter size. For the variable ND filter, I chose the ND4 to ND32 filter, because the stronger one is too strong. For the CineBloom filter I chose the 10% strength, because that is in my opinion the perfect sweet spot. Yes, these filters can simply be screwed together and stacked in that sense. However if I were to build this setup again now, I think I would not do it this way, because Moment released a new VND filter that is specifically made for the Moment case. So it's this tiny square filter that is the size of your phone instead of 67mm, which is okay, but does get quite annoying at times. The disadvantage when choosing this new square filter is that you can't add the diffusion filter, but I think that is actually a trade worth making, because you can get the effect of the diffusion filter in post (not perfectly, but quite close.)

May i ask you. For the iphone setup you bought 1. Moment iPhone 15 Pro Case 2. Moment 67mm Snap-On Filter Mount: 3. Moment 67mm Variable ND Filter: 4. Moment 67mm CineBloom Diffusion Filter: And you can just stack the filters on one another?

Glad you like it!☺️
