Steven Soderbergh is one of the most famous directors on the planet, with many successful films and series, and in a recent interview he stated that he successfully used iPhone to shoot feature films. Unseen is the latest film directed by Steven Soderbergh, it was filmed entirely with an iPhone, the director praising the quality of the recording made using the mobile phone.
Steven Soderbergh stated that the entire film was shot in 4K, and the projection on a screen similar to that of a cinema reveals a quality as good as a professional camera. The quality of the camera in the iPhone impressed Steven Soderbergh so much that he considers that films made in this way represent the future, especially for those with very small budgets.
It is not known what kind of iPhone model was used by Steven Soderbergh to record the movies, but we are most likely talking about the new iPhone X released last year. Although the iPhone X has a very good camera, in order to record quality images, you also need equipment for stabilization, lighting and much more to support the phone.
"Soderbergh said he was so impressed with the quality of iPhone cinematography that he would likely continue to use phones to shoot his movies going forward. I think this is the future. Anyone going to see this movie who has no idea of the backstory to the production will have no idea this was shot on the phone. That's not part of the concept."
Steven Soderbergh praises the iPhone and says that it is good for filming, and many directors will listen to him and try Apple's phones, but of course they can't do miracles. No one ever says that the iPhone isn't that great for pictures if you don't have accessories to help you, so no matter what Steven Soderbergh says, he still needs professional equipment to help him.
