Leading up to the launch of the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, Apple let photographers take the latter handset out in the wild and test out its camera, aiming to show off the upgrade’s performance in the newest smartphone.
So far the images that have been shown off in these galleries have been still photos, showcasing the new 12-megapixel camera in its still-frame glory. That includes a look at incoming fashion from the New York Fashion Week, a snapshot of a few baseball games at AT&T Park, and, most recently, a photographer’s recent trip to China. Now, though, we get a solid look at how 4K video looks by way of the new iPhone 6s Plus.
Thanks to Ryot.org and their new documentary The Painter of Jalouzi,” we get to see what a short film looks like when it’s shot entirely in 4K on the iPhone 6s Plus.
The documentary is focused on an individual that wants to transform a slum located in Haiti by adding some color to its surroundings. The painter aimed to cover up the washed out colors that formerly blanketed the slum, and instead promote bright colors instead. So it would make sense that filmmakers Bryn Mooser and David Darg would want to use a resolution that would really make those colors pop.
The pair had some thoughts on using the iPhone 6s Plus and its 4K video capabilities for the film:
““When we look at the film now, even WE are surprised at how good it came out considering it was shot on, well, a telephone” Darg says, laughing. “In a relatively short amount of time, we went from terrible pixelated phone photos, to this, which is just as good as cameras that cost tens of thousands of dollars… “When we heard the new iPhone would shoot in 4K, we thought about what we could shoot that would really demonstrate the power of the resolution. Jalouzi is so visually impacting. The mountainside is full of detail and color, so it’s the ultimate test of a camera’s ability. Plus, we’ve been wanting to tell the story for a long time” David said.”
While the iPhone 6s Plus was the principal device for shooting, the filmmakers also used a tripod to get some necessary shots, and also took advantage of third-party lens systems, too.
You can see the short documentary below. It’s certainly worth checking out.
