Cinematic Filming with a Smartphone - 100% shot on Sony Xperia 1 IV

Sony asked me if I would like to create a cinematic video with their smartphone, the Xperia 1 IV. I was very happy to accept this challenge and went on the road in the Swiss mountains. The smartphone is a real content creation machine. It has an 85-125mm true optical zoom lens, a 16mm wide lens and a 24mm standard lens. All shoot in 4K HDR up to 120fps. The menu is very similar to a Sony Alpha camera, including Real-time Tracking and Eye AF.

Thanks to Filmemacher Deutschland (https://www.fmd-productions.com) and Switzerland Tourism (https://www.myswitzerland.com), who made it possible for us to produce this video during the TopSpot Award, one of Europe's biggest filmmaker events.

All filmed in Switzerland in the beautiful canton of Valais, especially in Crans-Montana and Zermatt with the famous Matterhorn.
