Every Film and TV Show Shot on an iPhone

There are fewer and fewer people that we run into these days who will argue about the quality that an iPhone or smart phone video delivers.

But still a few.

(I can remember when we had to defend Hi8 as a broadcast medium).

In any event, to quell any arguments in the future, The Observer, The Guardian's weekend edition has published a list of movies and TV shows shot on an iPhone. To protect themselves, they have titeled it: A Near Complete List of Movies and TV Shows Shot On A Smartphone.

It's a good thing they covered their rears, because I can think of a number of TV station that are now regularly airing long form stories shot on smart phone. (OK, it's not a 'TV show', but today, what is?)

The article dates from March of this year, and it is aleady a bit out of date - just to show you how fast things are moving.  But never the less, it is filled with great clips that certainly prove the point.

Here's one from High Flying BIrd

And here's all the details from WIkipedia, just to save you the trouble

There is a great deal of concern, well placed, that few people under the age of 30 watch TV news. Viewership of TV news in general has fallen off, so naturally, TV executives across the boards are searching for a solution. How to appeal to a demographic that spends most of their time on social media?


Sometimes when you are searching for something, the answer is right before your eyes. For years, I have been looking for a new and powerful way to cover breaking news stories - and now, I think, I've got it.


When we run our video storytelling bootcamps for TV news organizations, our primary focus is on what we call ‘the viewer experience’. It is a given that the journalism is well researched and accurate, but if no one is watching; if there is no ‘audience engagement’ with the story, then you are in fact showing it to no one, which is tragic, and avoidable.
