Apple Releases New ‘Shot on iPhone’ Short Film

Apple has been making short films shot entirely on the iPhone to highlight the camera prowess of its flagship smartphone. It’s a marketing tool that Apple has employed very well. The company has released a new “Shot on iPhone’ short film today. It’s a three-minute clip that tells us the story of an athlete from American Samoa, it’s a territory of the United States in the south pacific ocean.

The subject of this story is Eddie Siaumau who is a 17 year old athlete from American Samoa. The video was captured by director and photographer Steve Counts. It was shot on an iPhone XS with several accessories which include the DJI Osmo Mobile 2, NiSi Smartphones Filter Kit, Joby GripTight Pro Video GP Stand, and the FiLMiC Pro.

There are plenty of shots of the beautiful surroundings of American Samoa. The film follows Siaumau during his training in the gym and on the beach. It obviously shows off what’s capable with the camera on the iPhone XS as well.

Apple says that it chose to highlight this location in the latest short film because American Samoa is more likely to produce athletes that will go on to play in the NFL than Americans from anywhere else.

DOOMBA Creates Doom Maps Using Your Roomba

Are you a DOOM fan? Of course, you are. Do you own a Roomba? Of course, you do. Now you can combine two of your favorite things into one new cool thing. DOOMBA is a script written by programmer and designer Rich Whitehouse for his 3D model and animation conversion program Noesis that allows you to create playable Doom maps from the data collected by your Roomba. How cool is that?

Now your little robot vacuum cleaner is helping you in a whole new way.  Now we just need to be able to put our Roomba in the actual map that it generates so that it can play a fun game of DOOM while we watch.

I’m eagerly awaiting that Black Mirror episode. Mostly because I can’t wait to see a gun-toting Roomba going crazy on some demons. Actually, I’d like to see that turned into a product. A robot that cleans my floor and secures my home? Hell yeah! Now that’s a DOOMBA. It would be the best security guard ever.

You can read more about the process and download the program from Rich’s website HERE if you’re interested in trying DOOMBA out for yourself.
