Give your smartphone movie masterpiece the widescreen look with Moment’s Anamorphic lens

Spielberg-esque shots from your pocket

It’s really not an exaggeration to say that smartphones enable anyone to have a crack at making a film. Watch Tangerine or the recently released Unsane – both entirely shot on an iPhone – and it’s hard not to be inspired, even if your storyboard hasn’t got much further than a chase scene in an abandoned Ipswich car park. Before you start working on your soon-to-be indie sensation, though, you’ll want to consider Moment’s new Anamorphic lens . It replicates the effect of a 2:40:1 Cinemascope, giving your smartphone shots the ultrawide look, complete with blockbuster-worthy horizontal lens flares. It’s compatible with your iPhone, Pixel or Galaxy phone, and you can either pre-order the product on its own ($119), or back it as part of Moment’s The Future of Mobile Filmmaking kit.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.
