Steven Spielberg Is the Latest Filmmaker to Shoot With an iPhone
The mastermind behind E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Indiana Jones, Jurassic Park and Jaws made a one-shot music video on his iPhone for Marcus Mumford.
Steven Spielberg is the latest filmmaker to use an iPhone to shoot a project. When filming his very first music video, Marcus Mumford’s single Cannibal, he opted to use his phone as the camera.
In a tweet, Mumford wrote, “On Sunday 3rd July in a high school gym in New York, Steven Spielberg directed his first music video, in one shot, on his phone. Kate Capshaw was the almighty dolly grip.”
Spielberg is one of the world’s most acclaimed filmmakers, having made iconic films such as E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, the Indiana Jones series, Jurassic Park, Jaws, Minority Report and Schindler’s List. He follows other filmmakers like Steven Soderbergh, Michel Gondry and Zach Snyder in using an iPhone as a camera.
