iPhone 15 Pro: a film director prefers it to his equipment

Apple has just published a short film filmed on the iPhone 15 Pro on its channelYouTube. It lasts 19 minutes and brings Osamu Tezuka's manga to life.Midnight". The video would have been filmedin order to show what the 15 Pro was capable of in low light,and the result is stunning.

Tokyo at night, a taxi, neon lights

Midnight is the name of the hero, played by Japanese actor Kento Kaku, who is very popular in the land of the rising sun. We see him traveling the streets of Tokyo at night in his taxi, always ready to help his neighbor. As reportedThe Hollywood Reporter:

The film follows Midnight as he comes to the aid of a young woman, played by Konatsu Kato, who struggles to take over her recently deceased father's trucking business while battling an infamous local gang, led by an evil boss played by acclaimed actor Yukiyoshi Ozawa.

Takashi Miike at the controls

Apple did not entrust the filming of Midnight to just anyone since the whole thing wasdirected by Takashi Miike.For those who do not know him, he is considered theone of the greatest directors in Japan, with films such asAudition, Ichi the Killer, or even13 Assassins.

Takashi Miike says he was amazed by the video capture capabilities of the iPhone 15 Pro. He claims to have “felt that the iPhone had the power to do things that a traditional camera couldn't do.» He also adds:

Action mode accurately and dynamically captures the facial expressions of subjects in a scene, while reflecting their emotions and thoughts. For example, in the scene where Kaede learns the news of her father's death, rushing furiously to show her sadness. Thanks to the iPhone 15 Pro and Action mode, I was able to capture such a scene. This is beyond what a conventional stabilizer can do without compromising the high quality of the film. This is truly a magical feature.

The iPhone 15 Pro would also have other capabilities that even traditional cameras do not have, including:

Although Cinematic mode makes the movie look more cinematic, I was even more impressed by the ability to adjust the focus after shooting. You can focus on what you want, when you want. I hope that revolutionary features like this, impossible to achieve with conventional hardware, will be added more and more and that they will break the conventional thinking of filmmakers.
