Anamorphic Shallow DOF on a Smartphone?

In this video we use an iPhone 11 Pro Max and a Beastgrip 1.55x anamorphic combined with Tiffen Close-Up lenses to achieve tighter macro-style shots with shallow depth-of-field (and it appears to have oval bokeh like traditional anamorphic lenses do).

In this test we got the best results using the +4 diopter and the iPhone Tele lens. But it also looked good with the +4 diopter and iPhone Wide lens. And keep in mind you could use any smartphone you want that is compatible with the Beastgrip Pro (which is more or less universal).
