26. iPhone vs. Red: Measuring the Dynamic Range

You've seen us shoot anamorphic on the iPhone 15. So what does it take to make iPhone footage look cinematic? Is it the lens? The crew? The lights? In this episode, we go in depth into all of these things. Most importantly, we experiment with dynamic range on a XYLA chart - what it is, how to measure it, and why it matters. As always, thanks for your comments and questions - don't forget to subscribe and stay tuned for our next episode!
