The Avengers Filmed On iPhone?

There's an app for that. (Via)

One of biggest and most anticipated superhero films of next year, the Avengers, was filmed on an iPhone. You read that right. According to TiPB’s Rene RitchieSeamus McGarvey, the cinematographer of the new Avengers movie, used the iPhone 4 to shoot some footage for the movie and it stayed in the final cut:


"The beauty of photography or cinema is that you make every choice based on the content at hand. On The Avengers, I did a couple of shots on the iPhone and they are in the movie. In fact, they are in the trailer! I understand that sometimes there is no choice and you have to go for the cheapest option, but if you are limited for choice, you can still make poignant decisions that will effect the look of the film."

The line between technology and mobility has become blurred over the years, and the fact that iPhone footage will appear in this movie shows how far we have progressed from bricks of phones that barely shot 12 seconds of 240p quality footage. I miss my childhood mobiles.
