A beautiful short film shot entirely with an iPhone 13.

Yesterday, I received an email from filmmaker Sean Alami sending me a link to his newest movie Adage. He wrote, “Let me know if this would interest your audience.” Yes, Sean, I think it will be! I watched the film and it is breathtakingly beautiful.
Here is how Sean describes the story behind the film:
I got the new iPhone 13 pro last week, and I wanted to put it to test in a legit cinematic environment to test its new feature the cinematic mode.
In order to really make it special I decided to drive to one of my favourite cites of all time Paris. And I was honoured to have one of the most talented dancers [Gabrielle d’Anthoüar] I knew who lives in Paris, to be featured in the Video. She was the cherry on top of it all.
This video was shot completely on the Cinematic mode of the iPhone 13 Pro which is available only in HD mode. Except the Timelapse which was all taken by the iPhone 13 pro in RAW format manually by (Roughly every 4 seconds).
The processing was developed in Lightroom, LR Timelapse and After effects .
For the moving shots the phone was mounted on the DJI OSMO 5.
There is a slight grade applied ONLY to the colors to complement them together.
Here is Adage.
Some background on Gabrielle d’Anthoüard:

She attended The Ailey School as an Independent Study student for two years and was subsequently accepted to the Scholarship Program.
