“Apple Of My Eye,” an iPhone 4 Film

by Scott Bolgiano on June 28, 2010

Shot on an iPhone 4 and edited with the iMovie app on the iPhone in 48 hours by Michael Koerbel. Phenomenal and inspiring.

Scott has been TMG’s Prepress Manager for 14 years. He hopes to have a novel in the iBookstore in the not-too-distant future.

Wow. What a great time to be an indie filmmaker. That looks amazing even in low light!

In terms of cameras, this is not impressive. This is only slightly impressive because it is coming from a phone device. But, because said phone device can’t carry out the most basic, mundane, phone-related tasks, should we really be that impressed that it can do video so well? We’re better off trying to get our camcorders to be able to make phone calls.

The obviously dubbed voices killed this for me. Also, the epic music did not fit the completely not epic video. The video quality is very decent, though, but I have a feeling that anyone with a steadycam mount could make something comparable.

@Fan Boii: If you’re referring to AT&T’s crappy network, well, point taken, but I for one have never had a major issue with it—in fact AT&T has been far better than Sprint ever was for me. If you’re talking about the antenna reception issues (the so-called “Death Grip”), it’s a problem affecting many cell phones, if not all of them. I have yet to see it myself on the iPhone, but your mileage, of course, may vary. I was simply impressed by the clarity of the images and Koerbel’s creativity, as well as the fact that halfway-decent video editing can now be performed on a device the size of a Snickers bar. Convergence, indeed.
