Apple’s behind-the-scenes video of the Super Bowl halftime show recorded by iPhone 15 Pro line

It's hard to believe that the Super Bowl was just a week ago today and there's no doubt that the excitement of that competition was outweighed by the horrific event that took place during the parade in Kansas City last Wednesday when a fan was shot. and 22 injured (more than half of whom were children). During the game, Usher performed on the halftime show and Apple shared a video showing what happened behind the scenes of making the show.

Obviously, Apple wouldn't show you this video if it hadn't been recorded with over 40 iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max handsets. By 9to5MacXiaolong Liu, cinematographer for the behind-the-scenes video, explained why using the iPhone 15 Pro And iPhone 15 Pro Max recording the video was an advantage. “iPhones are significantly more portable and discreet than traditional cameras, allowing for filming in a wider variety of locations and setups with minimal setup.”

Xiaolong added: “The ability to quickly switch between lenses (wide-angle, ultra-wide, telephoto) without additional equipment is an effective advantage for demanding shooting situations. The discreet nature of an iPhone can help capture more natural and spontaneous photos. and the flexibility of iPhone allows you to capture images from unique angles and in tight spaces where traditional cameras wouldn't fit. For example, Usher's throne photo and Alicia Keys' piano photo.

Director Mike Carson said: “It was a game changer, especially with so many out-of-control lighting scenarios, given our docu-style approach. We were able to retain so much information and visual data with the amount of dynamic range we had, and Log “It was paramount in that regard. I was blown away in the color session by the final image. In overall it was great. As a filmmaker who also likes to be hands-on, I especially enjoyed being able to just pick up a camera and shoot without having to think too much about the equipment, and I could concentrate about what was in my frame and the overall story and emotion I wanted to evoke. The learning curve was short.” Carson added, “As someone who just loves to create, whatever the 'scale. or medium, seeing the results of what we filmed definitely inspired me to pick up an iPhone and start filming, so I'm excited to continue exploring the possibilities and incorporating the iPhone into my process.
