Watch the first 4K movie shot entirely on the Apple iPhone 6s Plus

The Painter of Jalouzi

Among the new features added to Apple’s new iPhone 6s is 4K (3840 x 2160) video recording at 30fps. The super-sized iPhone 6 Plus adds optical image stabilization to the mix -- sadly missing from the smaller 6s -- which makes it a potentially great device to film high quality movies on (even if you aren’t able to watch them back in 4K on either your phone or the new Apple TV).

To show off the new phone’s potential as a film making tool, Apple approached RYOT Films and asked them to shoot a short movie in 4K entirely on the iPhone 6s Plus, and the finished result is now available to watch for free on YouTube.

"The Painter of Jalouzi" is a documentary that tells the story of a man from Jalouzi -- one of the largest slums in Haiti -- who helps mobilize his entire town to paint their community walls, buses, and hillsides in bright colors, in the hopes of bringing a new spirit to the impoverished area.

What’s even more impressive than the fact RYOT co-founders David Darg and Bryn Mooser made the film using just an iPhone 6s Plus is that they recorded all the footage in a single week and only finished the movie a few days ago.

You can watch the documentary below, and there’s an interesting behind the scenes companion piece which is also worth a watch.
