A few of his well-known movies are Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy (which won the Grand Prix award at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival), and Thirst (which won the Jury Prize at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival).

The film was captured using an iPhone 4 with the additional extra lenses and otherwise regular filmmaking equipment and it was screened to over 100 reporters on January 11, 2011, and opened for public release on January 27.
The film won the Golden Bear for Best Short Film at the 61st Berlin

Watch the “Behind the Scenes:

He said: In an effort to release the first iPhone 4 music video, my good friend and musician Steve Failows [AKA flakjakt] and I collaborated over a period of less than a week to create the first iPhone 4 music video.

In 2 days (and up until an hour before the shoot), Steve wrote a new track specifically for this video and we loosely conceptualized for those 2 days in an effort to be first out of the gates with an iPhone 4 music vid. Our main goal, however, was simply to make a good music video, no matter what the camera.

Of course, I knew there would be obvious technical hurdles, so everything was structured to be shot to take advantage of the camera’s strong points. Lack of lighting, aperture and shutter speed control were all taken into consideration when planning. And because I knew a lot of the camerawork would be locked off (something I rarely do), a lot of the cinematic vision was going to be dependent on how I cut everything together in post.

So, post production you ask? Seriously crazy. Going into it the goal was to create a video with a unique creative vision; something quirky, entertaining and yet, intimate and sincere.

I transcoded all footage to ProRes422. Once ingested into FCP I realized how much footage I had. I won’t say how much, but let’s just say we were crazy to shoot in 9 locations in 1 day! Overall the footage was surprisingly crisp (aside from low-light locations). I typically color correct in After Effects, but given the editing rush, I did everything out of Final Cut Pro. Although the result was a bit rushed and rough, we ended up embracing the look and think that it helps translate emotion well onscreen.

Hopefully people can forget it was shot on the iPhone and enjoy it for its content.

Enjoy!

“It’s all in the lenses.”
Megapixels matter. But the quality of a photo is determined by other things, too — like the camera’s optics, image signal processor, and software. The iSight camera uses advanced optics to give you the best picture possible. With an ƒ/2.4 aperture and a five-element lens, it captures light efficiently to produce a sharper overall image. And the hybrid infrared filter — typically reserved for expensive SLR cameras — keeps out harmful IR light for more accurate, uniform colors.
