Anamorphic Moondog Go LensJesco added an anamorphic lens to his set up for an even more cinematic feel to his shots; it distorts the image to create a wider viewing angle, which works perfectly for documentaries.

Rode Videomic MeNo cinematic filming set-up is complete with good microphone. The inbuilt microphone in your smartphone may be decent but a dedicated mic will make it sound fantastic, and this one is small, cheap and it is plug and play. Great sound combined with cinematic footage, will bring the standard of your video to the next level. The one Jesco uses is the Rode videomic me external microphone, because it is light compact and also comes with a windshield(dead cat), which is an essential add-on if you are planning to film outdoors. Osmo Mobile Gimbal ReviewPair a gimbal to your smartphone. No need to lock your elbows to reduce the awkward camera movements any more. Be proud to show off your smooth cinematic videos. It is a big step forward to achieving professional-looking results, the gimbal lock feature and 3-axis stabilizer is next generation and keeps the focus on your target. In addition, harsh movements won’t all be smoothed out because actions like running jumping or any other activity that generates shock waves throughout your body, will not be absorbed by the gimbal and the vibrations will seep through to your footage. Remember this is for Mobile not Cameras, not DSLR, only smartphones such as IPhone or Samsung.
