Apple has been promoting the iPhone camera for some time as a great tool to record pictures and videos in any kind of conditions, and a filmmaker named Tristan Pope thought to show us that everything Apple says is not just a marketing strategy.
In this idea, he made the video clip below using a terminal iPhone 6, the dancers from Zurich, Switzerland, being recorded during some demonstrations, the slow-motion function of the terminals' camera being used to capture the "magic" of the dance.
To make the video clip, he used some accessories and applications available in the App Store, but he did not manage to overcome the limitation imposed by Apple for slow-motion recording, the 720p resolution being the main problem of this function.
Zurich has always held a special place in my heart, as I spent many summers there as a child. Revisiting so many years later as a contestant and ultimately a winner for the MoMo film festival with Dancers of NYC, and meeting so many creative people using their mobile devices to tell stories, inspired me to make the sequel to Dancers of NYC. It was so different than our first go around, with multiple dancers in the frame at once, better equipment, and foreign backdrops. It was an adventure to say the least and everyone was a huge part of its creation with their ideas, suggestions, and talents. The goal here is to showcase everyone's talent and have a ton of fun doing it!
