Apple Shares Video About '28 Years Later' Being Filmed With 20 iPhones
A few months ago, we reported that select scenes in the post-apocalyptic film "28 Years Later" were shot with a rig of up to 20 iPhones. Now, the film's director Danny Boyle has discussed this feat in a YouTube video uploaded to the Apple TV channel today.
Boyle said that using iPhones provided "the ability to work in remote places, very quickly, and very lightly, leaving a light footprint."
"We wanted our landscape to look like it hadn't been touched for 28 years by any human, so it was very advantageous for that," he added.
"Director Danny Boyle pushed the power of iPhone to new cinematic heights in select scenes of 28 Years Later," says Apple. "In fact, the portable and powerful form factor of iPhone enabled the production team to build a custom rig using a unique 20 camera setup. Discover how his crew's camerawork innovations immerse audiences into shocking scenes."
"28 Years Later" was released in June, with the film building upon the events of "28 Days Later" (2002) and "28 Weeks Later" (2007).
The film grossed an estimated $150 million worldwide.
