"And… action!" It's time to get vertical! With new productions around the world on hold, there's no better time to drop an awesome promotional short made by none other than Oscar-winning filmmaker Damien Chazelle. Apple recruited Chazelle to shoot a 9-minute long short film called The Stunt Double, but of course there's the gimmick - it's filmed vertically on an iPhone. And Apple has dubbed it the beginning of "Vertical Cinema". This seems to be some kind of pushback against the "please turn your phone sideways while filming!!" complaints over the last few years, and also a clever way to promote their product and its capabilities. Which just goes to show that phone cameras are cinema cameras at this point - the technology is almost the same. I can dig it. The short takes us through cinema history, starting with the silent era then evolving into westerns then jumping into modern high flyin' stunts including a leap off a building. Featuring cinematography by Chazelle's regular DP Linus Sandgren, who also won an Oscar for La La Land. Enjoy. ›››
