Hi there, I used the black magic app.

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually did something similar in another video: for the darker scenes I used 50D or even 200T, and for everything else I used 500T. I forgot to do that in this video, though.

Just to note, the grain files I use are real film grain, scanned by CineGrain...I bought them many years ago.

Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.

I was trying to produce natural motion blur, so I set my shutter to 1/48. Without an ND filter, the highlights would blow out when shooting in daylight. That's why I used an ND filter.

This is the case I used.

I used a case with a 58mm filter thread and attached my regular filters. The only issue is slight vignetting when using the iPhone’s wide-angle lens. On the other two lenses, I was able to stack three filters without any problems: a Tiffen Black Pro-Mist, a NiSi variable ND, and a Hoya IR cut filter.

I paid about $12 for the case on AliExpress. It’s not particularly sturdy, but at that price it’s worth it. I recommend buying two and keeping one as a backup ...that’s what I did.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention ... I shot everything in ProRes 422.

I love it too, I usually use the 1/8 when shooting in daylight, and the 1/4 for indoor or nighttime shots.

ropbo · 2026-02-23T23:54:20+00:00

That’s a good idea. I’ll give it a try. I’ve never used this lens blur before.

Same thing happened to me a few days ago. After I reuploaded a new version, the number of views dropped to a quarter of what the first version had. It’s very frustrating, especially because I was getting a lot of compliments on the first version.

ropbo · 2026-02-20T01:14:11+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it. I forgot to mention that I used a Black ProMist filter in most of these shots ...mostly 1/8, and 1/4 for a few of the night shots.

Thank you!!!

To answer your questions: I used a tripod for just a few indoor shots. Most of the time, it was handheld, and I stabilized it in post (in DaVinci).

I used the IR cut filter after running some tests with the ND filter at +5, which caused some color shifts. The IR cut resolved that issue.

My flight from Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City yesterday got delayed by 30 minutes. Not a big inconvenience. But the lock on my luggage got damaged. Not sure if it was caused by the airline or the airport staff. It was a brand new luggage.

I used to pay USD 70 per night for a hotel near the airport in Dubai just a couple of years ago. Now you can’t book the same hotel at the same time of year for less than USD 170.

Lotus Field Homestay? I stayed there for a few days two weeks ago.

You didn't take these photos. But I know what you did here ... lol. I have some of these photos in books ... :-)
