Filmmaking used to be a highly expensive art, but these days, entire shoots can be done with the likes of Filmic Pro and just a smartphone. Obviously the better your phone is the better the end product will look. We tried out Filmic Pro (officially styled FiLMiC Pro) with the iPhone 12 Pro, and we have to say that the results were impressive.

Filmic Pro has been used to create films such as Tangerine, as well as videos for Lady Gaga and Selena Gomez, and has meant many amateur and professional filmmakers are now free from hauling around huge or expensive equipment.
