This 4K Cinematic Video Was Shot with the Google Pixel Smartphone

After buying a Google Pixel last week, filmmaker Matteo Bertoli wanted to test the phone’s camera, so he took it around Park City and Salt Lake City in Utah and shot some cinematic footage in 4K. The 2.5-minute short above shows the smartphone’s record-setting quality.

“I was very impressed with the new Google phone,” Bertoli writes. “Dynamic range is good, plenty of details. The software image stabilization is not bad at all considering is not optical. Overall the phone did very well.”

Everything was shot with the help of a tripod, Rhino slider, and a Shoulderpod S1 (for handheld shots). The footage was edited in Final Cut Pro X and graded with DaVinci Resolve.
