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

[dilbert99]

It didn't look like a great advert of quality via youtube 1080p on a 4k monitor.
Grainy and motion wasn't great.
I do think that companies are being a bit misleading showing what can be done with a professional film crew and lighting.

Artist gets $$$, Apple gets to brag (knowing most consumers have no clue the camera is 1% of the final product): everybody wins.

But I wonder how much Apple pays for something like this. 🤔

Gaga sucks. What else?

Gaga is super talented. She has a great voice, can sing live and great versatilely.

 

[aaronhead14]

No wonder it looks all mushy and compressed.

 

[iapplelove]

Maybe it’s just me but it looks pretty grainy on my iPhone and iPad Pro

 

[Marsikus]

Recording on a mobile - that's level of hardware this pop music deserves.

 

[V_Man]

Deleted. Answered my own question.

 

[odedia]

Stupid indeed.

(ok hardware-wise it's kinda cool).

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 .

The video was recorded in the actual desert. It's not a green screen

i would have thought that they would have a budget for a real camera,lol.

Rewrite the title:

Professional directors, professional editors, professional screen writers, professional art and set directors, professional prop managers, lighting professionals, professional director of photography, professional camera persons, professional camera assistants, professional sound mixers, professional chief lighting tech, professional lighting runner, profession key grip, professional VFX team goes hands-on with iPhone.

🙄

Ah, then it's probably the special effects in the background that are causing the greenscreen-like errors. They looked really bad, but logical considering they didn't use a green screen.

Just because it can, doesn’t mean it should be. It’s a gimmick. Let’s not try to compare the iPhone to a Red or professional camera with pro lenses.

Just those giant shiny rocks are composited in. Compositing on compressed footage is always a struggle. You usually start with the cleanest version of footage to achieve the best result. If you’re footage is already compressed, it’s a battle.

I hate how you can tell it was shot with a phone.e. because of the bitrate. All music videos shot with iPhone 11 look choppy.

“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.

You mean the iPhone didn't compose the music too?!? Shocking!

It’s the compression, and the effect the iPhone gives skin. It’s horrid.

 

[PabloSRT8]

AND IT LOOKS IT.
What a waste... this would have looked really good with the right tool
For the job...

 

[sidewinder3000]

If you light a video well, and don’t force the camera into low light situations that introduce noise, the iPhone 11 camera is absolutely a game changer.

 

[rodedwards]

I'm sure my clients will be very impressed when i show up at a profesisonal shoot with just my iPhone.

 

[orbital~debris]

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

Try it in Music app on Apple TV if you can. That’s where I watched it and it was crisp and vibrant.

Nice to see Gaga back 😍 and with a 90s sound.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

Shot at the CNN studios then? Also, voice recorded with the new 16-inch MacBook Pro microphone? Please...

 

[Quicksilver867]

Been a MINUTE since Gaga has released something along these lines. Will listen at lunch.

I'm impressed by the video I guess, but again, all modern phones shoot decently with tons of light thrown at them.

 

[gixxerfool]

Gaga is super talented. She has a great voice, can sing live and great versatilely.

Don’t forget she can also play a bevy of different instruments and had the honor of playing with Elton John. Her music isn’t for me but her talent is undeniable.

 

[BuffaloTF]

So many things make me question my sanity for asking this... but was this actually shot in Monument Valley? It throws me off every time they go left and right with the camera and you see more landscape.
