The Shot on iPhone 6 World Gallery launched at the beginning of March and features some of Apple's favorite customer photos in a global outdoor and print campaign that spans 70 cities in 24 countries. It is a truly transformative year for videography and filmmaking, and we are now more than ever seeing more filmmakers achieve their vision by using the iPhone 6 as their weapon of choice to produce films. For example, "Modern Family" producer Steve Levitan shot an entire episode on iPhone and iPad earlier this year, opening the doors to more possibilities shooting with our mobile devices in a creative way.
Apple is expanding the campaign with a series of TV and online ads that show off the amazing video capabilities of iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The ads, which will appear in 23 countries, feature the work of seven videographers and their use of the built-in video features of iPhone such as slo-mo, time-lapse and cinematic video stabilization. An incredible feat for any creative is to do what you can with what you have, and produce absolutely stunning results every time. For me, the iPhone does that. I am a strong believer in the minimalist approach when shooting, and feel it's powerful tool when doing photo and video.
Below are films by professional videographers from around the world including Cielo de la Paz, Cocu Liu, and Erica Allison that feature extraordinary video shot on nothing more than their iPhone.

Quite incredible how far the iPhone has come since its launch in 2007 and I continue to see it building in the coming years with both photo and video. Check out some of these recommended apps for video editing on the go:
iMovie ($4.99, free on iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus)
With iMovie you can easily apply video filters, add text and add your own music to your favorite videos (including slo-mo and time-lapse) then load your best videos directly to Vimeo, Instagram, Vine, or whichever site you like before the show is over.
