Apple's Entire 'Scary Fast' Event Filmed Using iPhone 15 Pro Max and Edited on Mac
Showcasing iPhone 15 Pro Max's video capabilities, Apple reveals the entire 'Scary Fast' event was filmed using the smartphone, sparking debates on the accessibility of professional filmmaking techniques for the average user.
- Apple's 'Scary Fast' event was filmed entirely using the iPhone 15 Pro Max camera system, known for its high-quality video capabilities which rival professional video cameras.
- The iPhone 15 Pro Max allows filming in ProRes up to 4K60 fps with Apple Log encoding and is the first smartphone in the world that supports the Academy Color Encoding System (ACES).
- Director Brian Oakes applauded the compact size and portability of the iPhone 15 Pro Max, equating its quality to that of a 'large $20,000 camera'.
- The production process relied on the iPhone 15 Pro, the Blackmagic Camera app, Tentacle Sync, and other professional filming equipment— a testament to the versatility of Apple's ecosystem.
- The smartphone enables high-speed data transfer with a compatible USB 3 cable and allows recording directly to an external SSD drive, enabling on-the-fly adjustments.
- Despite the innovative use of iPhone in professional filming, critics argue that the additional high-end filming equipment is not accessible for common users, undermining the 'Shot on iPhone' campaign.
