Since the summer of 2005 I’ve posted countless scoops about both movies and television that have been confirmed by the people involved.
The Big Picture Apple has teamed up with Academy Award-winning filmmaker Edward Berger to make their first short film, Submerged, using their brand new immersive camera, which could change the way people watch things at home forever. The camera allows filmmakers to utilize the near-limitless possibilities of Apple Immersive Video, a brand-new storytelling format that lets its users create 3D video in 8K with a 180-degree view.
A day after watching Submerged and experiencing the new content being made for the Vision Pro, I spoke to Edward Berger. During our extended conversation he talked about what he learned using the new camera, using Spatial Audio and a 180-degree view to create an immersive narrative, the challenges his crew overcame, and his hopes for the future of moviemaking.
How Does the Apple Vision Pro Compare to IMAX? Speaking of the camera, I saw pictures of it and saw it in motion while watching the behind-the-scenes footage. It reminds me a lot of an IMAX camera. Obviously, it's different, but the size of the camera, it's not something you can just put on your shoulder and walk around with.
BERGER: It is dead-silent. Yeah. Just like a regular camera, like, let's say, an ALEXA 35 or so. It has that silence. Because it is Spatial Audio, and you have to be fairly far away with the boom, you have to be very careful of recording, because otherwise, we see the boom in the shot. You can't get very close. So, it's always Lavalier radio mics or booms fairly far away, so you just have to make sure to record perfect sound.
When I was watching it, and the two of them were at the table eating, and they were talking, I was listening, and I started looking around at cabinets and little things, and it's crazy. BERGER: I would say you probably knew earlier than I did because you're such an insider and you're a savvy journalist. I saw it in January this year.BERGER: Yeah, it's all this year. I shot it in April. So, maybe I saw it in December. The news was out that there was gonna be an Apple Vision Pro at some point. I don't know when it came out exactly, the news, but I found out pretty much the same time. You have to be within Apple to know about it earlier.
BERGER: About the technology, I learned a ton. But the great thing is, I think every filmmaker and every new film that's gonna come out is gonna push the boundaries. There were a lot of things that we were worried wouldn't work because this device is different. We watch movies differently. As we said, we don't need to edit as much. We can just settle into the scene and let it happen to us and watch it and just be wowed by the authenticity of it.
