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

[oldmacs]

Reminds me of the “ARTPOP” Lady Gaga. Here for it. The video is nice, obviously it’s not very high budget, but is not bad by any means. She should’ve released that for the summer tho.

ARTPOP was so underrated!

how do you judge a camera‘s bitrate on a highly compressed video? you‘re looking at the compression‘s bitrate. it‘s like judging the quality of a surface from a photograph of it.

because on youtube even compression can still show some difference, uploading in higher bitrate even after compressed by youtube will still look better than a source with already a lower bitrate big difference of 20mbps vs 100,150mbps

Further to what macdrej pointed out, Filmic Pro "offers up to 140Mbps encoding at 4K on latest gen devices".

There also seems to be a lot of fragile masculinity and general must-hate-everything on display in this thread, lol.

dude you are the one getting offended from my comment deal with it

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 .

If you did some research and watched the behind the scenes video you’d know there wasn’t a single green screen used. Try again though.

I thought it’s a fact! There were better ones like Wilson Phillips..Maria Carey.... very difficult to get the lyrics in the recent ones

Maria Carey? Guess Mariah isn't as memorable so not sure if that's a fact

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.

IDK, I am just quoting what MR users say whenever an article with any current pop star gets posted

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.

Artpop was a pretty good album.

I get you can do this with the iPhone, but there is a noticeable difference between a professional camera and an iPhone. The gap is getting smaller, but still not quite there.

Yep. And it’s never really just about the gear, but the person behind it.
Great gear in the hands of someone lacking skill, as we see in this video, is still going to look awful.

 

[Andretti]

Bad done over of Madonna's "Express yourself" and a bunch of other songs on a pile

 

[H3LL5P4WN]

The point they're making with these advertisements is that the image/video quality of the iPhone's camera is now up there with what you'd traditionally expect would require professional equipment.

Obviously you need extra equipment when shooting something like this, like lighting, rigging and so on. The same would be true if the camera was something like a Red DSMC2.

Lighting and rigging are standard gear for a photoshoot. The "additional equipment" bit is covering things like lenses, filters, microphones, mounts, dollys, etc... things directly attached to the phone.

 

[rotlex]

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

LOL, I know, really. I have no idea why. I HATE most modern day music and would normally be one of the type you mention above. For some reason though I love Lady Gaga. Go ahead, make fun of me, LOL, but I think she's very, very talented. Much more so than most of the crap you hear today.

 

[kb923689]

The quality of the video is ok but you can tell they tried to make the best of it. I like Lady Gaga. Her A Star Is Born soundtrack is pretty impressive. This song is clearly made for radio. There's no point in hating on it.

 

[jackie-chan]

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

choppiness is practically nonexistent and skin looks incredible imo if you export with the right settings. check out any of my vids @creamyteens if you don't believe me lmao

they're making the iphone look terrible with this vid. it's an incredible camera

 

[recoil80]

Some youtubers post stuff shot completely on the iPhone and it is usually very good, but they have equipments and skills above the average customer.
Video on the iPhone is great don't get me wrong, I sometimes complain about the camera and some Android phones are better (at least in some scenario) but iPhone is the best in class when it comes to video. I usually shot 4k, I set 30fps instead of 60 so I can take advantage of the HDR and they look great

 

[sidewinder3000]

Almost any decent video camera or digital camera will take hq images in perfect lighting. iPhone isn’t really any better in this regard.

Yeah, and...? That wasn't the point. the point was the new wide-angle lens and the seamless way it is integrated with the other lenses creates a unique toolset that is a game-changer.

I guess we look at things different. Adding another lens is great. But game changing?

It means that a filmmaker can, under good lighting conditions, get multiple different looks based on the needs of the story they’re telling. The wide angle brings so much to the table. Especially for movement or action. You don’t need add-in lenses, and a gimbal isn’t even required because image stabilization has gotten pretty damn good for general usage. Past iPhones meant that you “could“ use the phone to make a movie, but there were a lot of considerations. Now that so much of the technical mumbo-jumbo is out of the way, the new iPhone allows creative people to make content with so many fewer compromises than they ever have had before. I think the iPhone 11 marks the beginning of when movies made from iPhones stopped being experimental exercises and started becoming legit options in a filmmaker’s toolbox. It’s a democratization of the tools that pro filmmakers have in a ridiculously convenient and cost effective package.

And the fact that the back of the iPhone 11 Pro looks like the old turrets on a cinema film camera was not a random accident. Apple designers were deliberately invoking that as a nod to traditional filmmaking iconography because for the first time a low budget filmmaker can have 3 distinct lens choices in their toolbox. By this time next year there will be an explosion of films and content made with iPhone 11s.

You may be right. Film from who? Mom and dad? No name wannabe producer?

Yep lots of those but universal studios is not going to shoot major motion pictures on an iPhone. Minor 10 min clips. Sure maybe. But nothing that really matters

I disagree.

There are always people on the right and wrong side of an argument. You’re free to disagree, as tens of thousands people start using their iPhones for ever more sophisticated productions. Soderberg shot a feature with one, and scores more movies and TV shows shot with iPhones are in production right now. It’s no longer a matter of opinion. It’s a fact. iPhones are now a legit production tool.

If that’s what you want to believe. There are no major motion pictures being shot on an iPhone. Small simple indie films sure.

It’s not “what I want to believe“. I’m just talking about facts. iPhones are being used in more legitimate productions than ever before, and that number is increasing dramatically. True, they are not shooting the new James Bond film with an iPhone. But that doesn’t mean that the iPhone 11 doesn’t represent a turning point in how smart phones are used in production. You seem to be arguing just to argue, so I’m gonna sign off of this fruitless exchange now.

I disagree with you. No biggie.

 

[Marsikus]

That's what I hear last 5 years each year from Apple and Samsung:

This time phones are so cool, now you can ditch cameras and shoot professional pictures and cinema with a phone!

Sometimes even some trash film shown as example
