They said they shot the iPhone next to the Red. To bad they didn’t show the Red version because I imagine it would have blown the iPhone version out of the water. Sorry Tim, I guess this means I’m not forward-thinking enough. But to think you could do basic editing on a iPhone is amazing. I remember joking about doing that not to long ago and here it is for reals. I started out deck to deck editing and loved the day I edited on a computer. It is amazing how fast technology is moving.

BTW- the ‘on camera light’ the iPhone 4 has is actually kinda usable for a tiny touch of fill/eyelight. Use it…

For most of the people who have some kind of knowledge of the production world, this video is far from perfect. But is it really aimed at these people? No. From a common viewer’s point of view this is a pretty good video!

However that being said, we have to remember that it was a Pro who made this video even though it was made with an Iphone. Like so many other people say on this forum ” It does’nt matter what the tool is, important thing is knowing how to use it and get the best results?

“The creative person wants to be a know-it-all. He wants to know about all kinds of things: ancient history, nineteenth-century mathematics, current manufacturing techniques, flower arranging, and hog futures. Because he never knows when these ideas might come together to form a new idea. It may happen six minutes later or six months, or six years down the road. But he has faith that it will happen.” — Carl Ally

You know what they say, Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

Who said anything about enforcing that idea. I’m just a guy with an opinion. Anyone can choose to listen to it or not. I’m just saying you should do things to enhance a video. For example, I found the ariel shot very distracting. It wiggles like it is jell-o because of how the camera captures a frame. Did that shot help enhance the story being told? Did they even need an ariel shot? I think it is important to ask ourselves, what will better tell the story…not, lets do this because we can.
I say, if you want to shot a spot with an iPhone more power to you.

Thanks for sharing. How much of it was shot on the iPhone? It has multi-camera interviews and you can see a camera operator not holding an iPhone. The reflection at 7 seconds does not look like an iPhone. Not that it matters, I think they mean it is all iPhone once the graphic says so. Would we be talking about how cool these videos where if they where not shot on an iPhone?

I think the point is you can create and edit video that look like that………..on a flippin iphone!!!!

Like it or not, this is where alot production business be going….

Granted, it needs some work but if I were a producer and you pulled that spot off in a afternoon for half the cost, while sending a proof of the work over an iphone, you’d get my business.
