My Reasons
- - The creator has done film projects in the past (SouthPark, short dance film shot on the iPhone)
- I think the video is pretty well done. The creator comes across as being friendly and passionate.
- It's a cool concept! Since everyone has an iphone, everyone can create their own short films. They just need to put some time into it!

About the project.
"I want to show how anyone with a camera phone these days can capture the most intimate moments beautifully!"
Short Bio
My name is Tristan Pope and I am a photographer/director in New York City. My passion is to combine the everyday with the glamour we see in magazines and films alike. To be able to capture a moment whether it be in a film or photograph can breathe life into even the smallest of moments, forever frozen in time.
The Film
It has been a dream of mine for the day when technology could get small enough for us to get that perspective I often wish I could capture just with the flick of my eyelid. Imagine if you could record those special moments waking up to the one you love, seeing their perfect smile after a funny joke you told, or just capturing for more than a second when they took your hand on the street during a crisp fall day, feeling the warmth shiver up their body to the slivers at the corner of their eyes. To capture what is often called "The Sparkle in your eyes". Our intent is that when you watch this video it feels as though you were there at one point or another in life with that special person.
I believe today is the time when that is possible. I have been shooting with High end DSLR's for over 10 years and I am still amazed at what our smartphones can capture. Combined with the right attachments and equipment we can begin to show the world our point of view, with something we hold in our pockets everyday.
I want to use that technology to show everyone, they too have the ability to make truly lasting memories of their lives, loved ones, and the like with the right amount of elbow grease. That instead of saying "Oh put that away" because it is so common place to have a camera out, that like the old days when you broke out the 100lb equipment for your black and white camera and shot on a roll of film that cost half that of our smartphones per minute, you will see it for what it is, a convenience that will help us to remember later on in our lives in a beautiful way. Sure I could shoot this on my DSLR and have the perfect Bokah effects and perfect DoF, but I want it to feel like you are there, like this could be you, like you have been here before, or want to get there soon!
The Idea
I have always been an advocate for romance and love. I write about it on a daily basis, I capture it all the time, but we finally have the opportunity to get so up close and personal it feels as though you are actually there. "The best camera is the one you have with you".
Without giving away the entire plot, I want to make a short film, filmed exclusively on the iPhone 6 that captures what it means to be in love in beautiful New York City in the fall. With the air turning crisp and the holidays around the corner, it is never a better time to feel the warm embrace of someone next to you under the covers or to take a drive out to the orchard to go apple picking for the season, or nuzzle into someones arm as you cram into a taxi to get home after a long day.
The film will follow our male character's POV(point of view) from waking up in the morning all the way through a day with his loved one in the busy streets of New York City. It will capture those moments you probably have had yourself, where you held someones hand tighter as the light turned and the cars came speeding by, it will embrace the cold mornings on the fire escape as you are waking up to see your beautiful lover sitting in the fire escape wearing your t-shirt sipping on the coffee she blended before you woke up. It will show you the mundane of shopping for new clothes or getting groceries, but embodied with the love and small moments in the air because it is with the person you call your girlfriend.These are all things only a smaller camera could achieve.
