Shot on iPhone by Damien Chazelle – Vertical Cinema - Youtube
Apple has launched a new video of its Shot on iPhone series with which they want to praise the work that is done in the film industry and especially that of some unknown specialists but at the same time the most viewed on some screens, the stuntmen.
In a short short directed by Damien Chazelle, who went down in history with award-winning films such as La La Land or First Man, we can see the adventures of one of these actors who risk their lives to make the shot perfect. Everything begins in a leap into the void from a skyscraper and the protagonist's parachute does not open, far from getting nervous we are going to live with him the memories of his entire existence as a double.
You can always see in this interpret the penalty for never starring in the main scenes and always living in the shadow of the face of the star on duty, but now he is the main character and with him we see different moments in the history of cinema, like the first films made in black and white, a genre as popular as the west, the musical, even recreating very mythical scenes from films that have gone down in history.
This mini movie has been a great success, finding itself in the Top trending video on YouTube in the United States with more than 37 million views. Along with this video, Apple also wanted to show how the filming was done and has posted a making off of the entire process. In this we hear its director explaining how the whole process has been and how he has lived the experience of recording with a mobile device and in vertical format.
And is that all the recording is done with an iPhone 11 Pro and using Filmic Pro, an application that achieves professional finishes in the smartphone's own camera. It is one of the most versatile on the market and has a good quality of both video and audio, one of the weak points that we normally find when recording with devices.
With the Shot on iPhone initiative, the brand wants to add value to the characteristics of the elements that make up its cameras, such as high dynamic range, stabilization of videos or the creation of effects by the wide angle lens it has. It is not the first time that the company has launched a project of this type, there are already several that can be found in the bitten apple channel, and they make them a very interesting product, since they reveal a world of possibilities that still they are yet to be explored, both for viewers and film professionals.
