This work had a production cost of approximately 100 billion won in Korean currency. It is said to be released in June 2025. Previously, the movie was released in 2003. At the time, director Danny Boyle said that some sequences were shot with Canon cameras. It is said that the camera model was “Canon XL1” and the price was about $4,000 at the time. was a low-budget film made with a production cost of about $8 million. In fact, it’s not strange to shoot a movie with a camera made by a professional camera manufacturer, whether Canon or Nikon. However, it may feel more compact and simple than shooting with an IMAX camera like director Christopher Nolan. Still, it doesn’t mean much since it’s only for ‘some’ scenes. , which is scheduled to be released next year, said that they chose the iPhone over the Canon. It is said that this work was also filmed with an iPhone in some sequences. The device is ‘iPhone 15 Pro Max’. Of course, we did not just use the lens mounted on the smartphone. The Canon XL1 mentioned above may have been a ‘very good’ camera at the time, but it was said that the image quality was ultimately poor. However, the ending sequence was shot on 35mm film, so the picture quality was slightly different. Nevertheless, if you look at the screen with noise, it may have been rough and realistic, befitting the zombie apocalypse genre. Whether intentional or unintentional. Anyway, it was 18 years ago, so considering today’s technology, I think you can feel the difference in quality. Existing cameras and smartphones will also become quite retro devices 18 years from now. “Did you make a movie with this?” Actually, I can’t imagine it.
iPhone 15 Pro Max
The rear camera that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is equipped with is a triple lens, including a wide-angle lens with F 1.78 of 48 million pixels, an ultra-wide angle of F 2.2 with 12 million pixels, and a telephoto lens with F 2.8 of 12 million pixels.

The front camera is equipped with an F 1.9 12 million pixel True Depth camera. The movie was not shot with a basic lens. It is said that a case for shooting was added to the smartphone and a full-frame DSLR lens was attached to it, so of course there was a lens for professional use.

Shooting movies and commercials with the iPhone has become a no-brainer. For reference, director Park Chan-wook also produced a short film called using the iPhone 13 Pro. At the time, it was the second work made in collaboration with Apple, and Haejin Yoo, Okbin Kim, and Jungmin Park also appeared. This was director Park Chan-wook’s first collaborative work filmed with an iPhone. was filmed with the iPhone 4 in 2011, but in 2022 it was produced with the iPhone 13 Pro, which is several times better than that. Director Park Chan-wook also said that he was very surprised when he saw the iPhone’s cinematic mode. Not only could I focus more on the person’s facial expressions, but I was also able to conveniently use the automatic out-of-focus feature. Thanks to this, some very great works came out. New Jeans also filmed an advertisement using an iPhone. It could be said to be a collaboration between Apple and New Genes. New Jeans once appeared on a music show with an iPhone.
The performance of smartphone cameras is improving day by day. In fact, the original function of a mobile phone is to call, but it is only one of many functions. Meanwhile, smartphone manufacturers continue to improve camera performance. I’m curious to what level it will reach. By the way, I’m in the process of saving the photos and videos on my smartphone to the cloud, and it’s surprising when I took them. No, did I have a photo like that? It’s almost like Pandora’s box.
