Lady Gaga's New 'Stupid Love' Music Video Shot Entirely on iPhone 11 Pro

[MacRumors]

Lady Gaga this evening released her latest single, "Stupid Love," with a music video to go along with it. The video was shot entirely on an iPhone 11 Pro.

Prior to the video's release, Lady Gaga shared a series of teaser trailers featuring the new song, and Apple has also highlighted the video on its own YouTube channel in a shorter one minute clip.

There have been other high-profile Shot on iPhone music videos, including the video for Selena Gomez's "Lose You to Love Me" single, also shot on an iPhone 11 Pro.

Lady Gaga's new single, which is available on Apple Music, is the first new song she's released since creating songs for "A Star is Born." Apple previously partnered with Lady Gaga when she performed at Apple Park in May 2019 for the formal opening of Apple's new campus.

“Shot with Filmic Pro. Additional hardware used.”

It’s very cool! But... it’s not what they’re trying to make it seem like lol.

That being said, it’s a banger and I can’t wait to listen all summer.

I could tell you how the shoot was but...NDA. Sorry.

 

[farewelwilliams]

music would have sounded great without lady gaga

Post about a pop star in Macrumors, the comments should be a riot by morning.

I mean, it was still shot on iPhone. Filmic Pro is a $15 app anyone can buy.

probably shot, not edited.

the bitrate makes it pretty obvious it was shot with a phone

Great song! It sounds like a typical song she would do. I’m sure her fans would be happy with it.

 

[Stars&Stripes]

Youtube's 1080p compression is truly awful. I wonder why it wasn't released in 4k.

I think they’ve added some grain in post as well.. Look even the animated titles have that grainy blocky look..
Guess it was intentionally done to get the old look

 

[Skeptical.me]

My iphone can do that?

 

[rmoliv]

“Old” Gaga is Back.

 

[itsmilo]

Sounds like this song was recorded years ago and the video looks CHEAP. Especially compared to her other 6+ minutes long videos

 

[kissmo]

My iphone can do that?

I had the same question. But if lighting is good pretty much any phone (newer and more equipped) can do.
Not to mention skill.

everything else is post.

Cue the comments pretentious negative posts trashing Gaga because "modern music sucks/let's listen to Queen or The Beatles aka real music'

The song takes me back to the late 2000s, early 2010s.

Gaga sucks. What else?

I thought it's just my comp, but yeah, looks horribly pixelated at times

Forgettable track, don’t get me wrong, I love some of her songs like Monster, Bad Romance and Alejandro, but since 2011, she has not produced anything with the right infectious catchy sound formula. That pretty much comes down to the wrong producers, remember it’s Akon that put her on the map in 2008 with Just Dance. It’s nice to see what the iPhone 11 Pro is capable of though.

 

[Marco Klobas]

If you add skills, drones, makeups, visual effects, editing, dancers, costumes, stabilizers, lights and a bunch of other things, then the answer is yes. Oh, and don't forget all the audio-related stuff...

 

[elhungarian]

Makes sense to do it for something like this with a huge greenscreen in the background and not really needing shallow depth of field. With enough artificial lighting, even a small sensor looks pretty good. Would like to see how they mounted it on the drone in the beginning .

 

[AppleHealth]

Sick!
I prefer her more acoustic stuff but it’s great she is having fun! It’s been a long time since she released a traditional pop banger.

 

[justperry]

Some of Lady Gaga songs are quite good, this (for me) isn't one of them, don't like the video either.

But, we've come along way with cameras in phones.

Queen and the Beatles are good???!!!, The Beatles were just a boy group, Queen..my brother played that all day long, 7 days a week, not my favourite, btw, George Micheal was a better singer when he performed queen songs.

 

[Puppuccino]

It’s not impressive to film stuff like music videos on iPhones. Cameras are good enough nowadays that it makes little difference to enjoyment.

Let me know when they film a video on an Android from circa 2007. That’d be a hoot.

Exactly.

When I first heard "music video shot on iPhone"... I was expecting something that looks like a TikTok video.

But no... this looked like a "real" music video. That's because of everything you said.

There's more than just the camera.

I remember there was a special episode of Jimmy Fallon shot entirely on the Galaxy S10+ in various parts of New York City.

It looked OK... but you could still tell it was shot on a phone and not on their giant studio cameras.

Plus it also sounded great... since they had their entire sound department on-location. They had lav mics and boom mics. They also had lighting, grip, producers, directors, etc.

If you consider ALL the equipment and personnel it takes to make a TV show or music video... does swapping-out just the camera make that big a difference?

I understand the point they're trying to make... but I think it's a little disingenuous.

Oh... and I think this Gaga video is compressed all to hell. I've seen better Youtube vloggers getting better image quality from their phones.

This was a cute experiment... but Gaga's next music video will go back to using the Arri Alexa or whatever.
