What we found when shooting this film was that the process of making the film was almost as exciting as the film itself. We wanted to share that with you.

So please enjoy an Exclusive Behind the Scenes look into the process of shooting an intimate and candid story about everyday love, shot entirely on the iPhone 6 to capture even the tiniest nuances of

“Romance in NYC”

Read out interview with Mashable HERE!

In 2015, it’s no longer uncommon for filmmakers to use smartphones instead of film cameras. Still, only over the past few years has the quality of the cameras, lenses and app software become so impressive that phones can be used to capture DSLR-quality cinematic moments.​
Filmmaker and photographer Tristan Pope is one of these artists — and he used the new iPhone 6 to do the job.​

If you still needed convincing that smartphone cameras are more than capable of professional results, “Romance in NYC” may do the trick. Shot not only entirely from the a single character’s point of view, but using nothing more than an iPhone 6 and a selection of apps and accessories, the 15 minute short was crowdfunded on Kickstarter in late 2014 and is now making the rounds of the festival circuit. I caught up with director Tristan Pope to find out what made him put down his pro-camera kit for a smartphone, how the iPhone 6 delivered in unexpected ways, and why he ended up wearing a GorillaPod like a Hannibal Lecter mask.​

I love my iPhone 6+, and have been shooting, editing, and publishing lots of glorious video with it, on the road.
I really enjoyed seeing Tristan Pope‘s behind-the-scenes exploration of how “Romance in NYC” came to be. “The iPhone has limitations,” he says “but the limitations themselves spur creativity.” Couldn’t agree more.​

Romance in New York, by filmmaker Tristan Pope, takes the point of view of a boyfriend waking up to spend the day with the love of his life. Pope wanted to show the intimacy that comes from everyday moments, and the subtleties and nuances that exist in every expression and every action, even the ones that might seem small. What’s more — he shot the entire 15-minute film on theiPhone 6.
Romance in New York will be showcased at film festivals around the word. Check out the trailer, above, and the behind-the-scenes video below. Maybe, like me, it’ll inspire you to stretch the limits of your own iPhone videos.​
Also tune in tomorrow @ 1:30 PM EST with The Bloomberg Advantage where I will be doing a short interview about Romance in NYC!
 
Limitations spur some amazing creativity.
Looks great so far and wishing you the best of success in this.
 
I went ahead and shared the BoingBoing page on my facebook. I figure its probably a good idea to share the media pages so they can get more traction and into more eyes.
 
I love the Mashable article. Shared it on my facebook as well. I'm loving the press this is getting. Hope this leads to big things for you.
 
Limitations spur some amazing creativity.


So true. Someone once told me that drug addicts would be the most creative people that I ever met. That's held true so far, and filmmaking can definitely become a wonderful addiction.

Is Bloomberg radio a Ginger Only zone? Pigmentist!

IN all seriousness, this is awesome, kinda fun to listen to the interviews and think... "humm, this voice sounds so out of context without a gaming reference?"
Hoping the good press keeps going~
