Well, it’s not “Tangerine”, but…
Network talk show, shot on phones…

Did anybody see the whole thing?
Now I get it that this was bit more elaborate than just whipping out a phone. At this point, it’s a stunt. But I am fascinated by the concept of using phones, especially many multiples of them, combined with pro audio and lighting techniques. Today it’s still mostly a novelty. I have to wonder though, with cameras like the tiny BlackMagic, where it all could lead. To me it’s about agility of acquisition and higher performance on a very low budget.
Getting them to all stream to a central point and live-switching between them, that interests me.

Didn’t see it, but bunches of clips are available on the Tonight Show’s YouTube channel. It looks to be all location pieces, Jimmy in various spots around town.
Wonder how much Samsung paid them for that? Samsung must have been pretty confident about the new 10 (which incidentally is probably the phone I’m trading up to later this week) because that was all night footage, which is not what most phones excel at.
I’m betting that even though there was one person holding a little phone, that union rules meant the “camera” operator was still surrounded by a crew of a whole bunch of people.
It’s a pure gimmick of course, but interesting.
At least they had the phones horizontal.

*Today*, it’s a gimmick…
But I just imagined a scenario where you asked every person in a football stadium to whip out their phone and video the halftime show at the same moment, then use a supercomputer to synch every individual stream, map them to a sphere and create a virtual 3-D VR view that could be rotated, zoomed, and focused at will…
