1000 FPS on a PHONE | OPPO Reno4: My favorite video features By Daniel Schiffer

All right welcome back to another video that sequence, you just saw was all filmed on a smartphone, and it was filmed on this smartphone, the Oppo Reno four. This video is sponsored by Oppo and guys. This thing is crazy. I don't normally film cinematic style videos on my phone, given usually I'm doing commercial style stuff with my cameras, but when I skateboard with my friends we're constantly filming each other on our phones and to get to play around with something. This capable was a lot of fun. That sequence was shot mainly in 4k at 30 frames per second, but this is packed with a bunch of features that makes this phone unique from any other phone.

Let alone phone makes it unique from cameras that are available on the market. Now you might have noticed that I am injured right after shooting this video. I went skateboarding with my friends at a nearby skate park and I separated my shoulder doing this trick now. Unfortunately, I don't have the footage of the fall, but I had just done that exact trick three times in a row and on the next try. I slammed my shoulder into the concrete tore, a ligament, and here we are but guys.

Let's talk about that sequence and what it's like filming with the Oppo Reno 4. For this shoot, I didn't use any external equipment. I didn't have a gimbals. I didn't have a stabilizer, no sliders, no attached lenses on the phone. It was literally just my two hands the phone and, of course, my skateboard, I kind of want to introduce you to is like two separate characters you meet at the skate park.

I was thinking we shoot your intro here. Ai color portrait is a fairly advanced filter that takes your subject and leaves them in a nice, vibrant color, while taking the background and throwing it in black and white. This draws emphasis to your subject in a creative way. It's a unique style that I could see being a lot of fun for people to use on their phones. If they're not the most savvy video editors, because in order to achieve a shot like this, normally you would have to do it in post.

You would have to desaturate the background and mask it out frame by frame which is very tedious and takes a long time. I look good in that one. You better use that one yeah! You look wonderful now moving along. Let's talk a little about frame rate. What trick do you want to do in a thousand frames per? Second? Not many professional cameras can actually do that, so we're gonna, try it out and see how it goes when I was first told that the Oppo Reno 4 could shoot at almost a thousand frames per second, I was like okay, but it's probably gonna look like every other cheap camera that can do a high frame rate where it just looks like a potato.

This actually looks good, like look at this shot here of my friend Sam doing a board slide. That is totally usable footage, and we also got these shots for our sequence. As the sun was setting, we didn't even have that much light and the shots were still very usable and looked pretty clean. Now, keep in mind that when you are using 960 frames per second on this phone, you can't just film continuously in that frame rate forever. It does it in bursts, so you have to time it with a skater doing the trick or with someone flipping a pancake on a pan or your ROG shaking off the water as they come out of the lake, all right go for it.

Now. I did mention earlier that I was filming most of the skate footage, while I myself was on a skateboard. This does allow for nice smooth movements, but it's mainly in order to keep up with people on skateboards, because if I was running behind them, I would just be bouncing around all over the place. So at least as I'm rolling, I can hold it steady, but, as you can see in these behind the scenes clips of me filming my friends as they walk, I too am walking I'm not using my skateboard in these shots, and I'm also not using any gimbals or stabilizers yeah. I just sit, and then Sam you're going to sit here.

Yet the footage somehow still looks extremely smooth, and that is thanks to the ultra steady mode.3.0 ultra steady mode 3.0 is exactly what it sounds like it just lets. You take videos handheld that turn out extremely smooth, as if you were filming them with a gimbals sometimes makes me wonder why I bought so many gimbals over the years when there are phones like this, that don't require them at all. Obviously, gimbals have their place, but you know what I mean: yeah, okay overall, my favorite thing about filming with the Oppo Reno 4. Is that the footage just looks amazing, and you don't really have to do much to it to make it look amazing, because all that footage you saw in that sequence is not color graded, no color, correction, no cuts! That is straight off the camera. This means less work when you bring it onto the computer to edit and when you send your videos to your family, whether it's that sunset up at the cottage or that puppy that you just got the colors and everything looks the way you want it to look and for me, that's kind of the whole point of filming videos with a phone because it's convenient you don't have to attach all this fancy stuff.

You don't have to use a gimbals or external lenses. You don't have to color grade and do all the stuff to the footage it just works, as is with your hands and nothing else, but that is the Oppo Reno four. I had a fantastic time shooting with this phone. I was so impressed by the footage just blown away by the colors, the smoothness, the 960 frames per second, and that AI color portrait mode is also pretty cool as well, but a big thank-you once again to Oppo for sponsoring today's video.
