Avengers Cinematographer Shot A Few Scenes On An iPhone 4

iphone4scameraWhenever a new iPhone comes out, people rush to have the first music video or short film shot entirely on its camera. But it's not often you hear about a big-time Hollywood production using this kind of device for anything other than behind-the-scenes stuff. Yet in an interview with IFTN, the cinematographer for The Avengers, Seamus McGarvey, admits he supplemented their more professional camera setup with a few shots from the iPhone 4.Don't get too excited, though: it's not like they had it on the helicopter rig or they're using it for serious effects shots. The benefit of the iPhone 4 is that it's compact and easy to operate. McGarvey says that a couple of the shots are even in the trailer, and I think I've picked them out. I highlight them not because I love the iPhone so much, but to explore how a device like this could possibly fit into a multi-million dollar shooting schedule. Also, it's Friday.
