Apple Demos Filmmaking Techniques in New Shot on iPhone Video

[MacRumors]

Apple today shared another video in its ongoing Shot on iPhone series, with the new ad focusing on filming techniques to demonstrate how easy it can be to make a movie on an iPhone.

The video walks through using the Ultra Wide camera for unique perspectives and it demonstrates different lighting effects that can be used to make a cinematic feel.

There's a technique on a DIY crane shot captured by dropping an iPhone onto a soft surface, and a supernatural effect done with a camping headlamp and a bike wheel.

Apple regularly shares Shot on iPhone videos, and for the last several months, has been doing "Everyday Experiments" videos that often show behind the scenes techniques much like today's film techniques video.

I like these! I might use some in my future videos

You can learn a lot from watching this video. Very nifty.

A very nice video.

These are awesome tips! I learned a ton

I'm sure I can figure it out, but some details on the bicycle wheel rig would be nice.

Incredible tips and I love how simple they are. Even to the point that they don't clean up the garage or attic when filming.
Do they mention that they don't use the iPhone's native camera app? I think that's the biggest tip.

If you're making something that needs to be viewed on something large than an iPhone, don't use the built in camera app. The noise reduction will leave you with little room to alter anything without terrible artifacts.

Great techniques. For anyone who wants to see more of the forced perspective technique, it’s used to great effect in Lord of the Rings, especially Fellowship.

Very cool Apple.

 

[Darth Tulhu]

Truly "the intersection of technology and the liberal arts", in action.

This is the heart and soul of Apple.

Great vid.

Love this. Inform and mentor, while still marketing your product.

More! More! Show us lots of these tricks!

Some of us aren't as creative as these filmmakers, but we can certainly learn from and copy their techniques.

I think they only mentioned that additional software was used – but not which one. What would you suggest for this kind of filming? Filmic Pro?

Filmic Pro is great.
