They used the blackmagic Camera app, probably because of the weird framerates with the normal camera app. Also they use everything BUT final cut pro lol. Kinda sad at this point.

I'm not surprised. Final Cut Pro is an amazing editor, if you are the only editor working on it. Where Final Cut Pro really falls short is when you have to do any kind of collaboration work, and something of this magnitude definitely required the kind of collaboration editing that Final Cut Pro just can't do.

For anyone else curious about the production team,
the Jeff Wozniak at Apple Workflow does not seem to be related to Woz (I was curious).
Jeff Wozniak has a cool history though, worked on previs/cg/production for the SW prequels, avatar, avengers, Star Trek ‘09.

So yeah I could see using an iPhone camera wouldn’t hold back the quality considering the rest of the production design and team. Pretty cool.
I liked how they seemed to use smoke machines but removed the machine.
Also, Quinn!

Was the hard work promo shot on the iPhone as well? That bokeh looked far too good and smooth to me it doesn't seem like it's possible, but if that was also shot on the phone then I'm upgrading cuz that looked even more impressive.

Nope. The promo videos were shot on high end cinema cameras.

I’d like to know how they were getting the preview to the monitors as it looks like it’s just not screen duplication via DisplayPort.

[–] __theoneandonly@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Blackmagic Camera app allows a monitor feed over HDMI.

I think it was going to a wireless display splitter. Probably something from SmallHD.

Custom tailored software pretty much. They can access the hardware much more than any other developer obviously
