Modern Family episode shot on iPhones, iPads, MacBook
February 17th 2015
Nick Bilton for New York Times:
Over a series of late October days, camera operators working on an episode of ABC's "Modern Family" set aside their typical high-definition videocameras and picked up iPhones. The command "Action!" was followed by a tap of that familiar red button on the device's small video screen.
Most shooting was done on the iPhone 6 and latest iPad. Some additional shots were done using MacBook Pros. The idea was to film an episode how today's families communicate via video chat, and in this case using Apple technology. It should be an interesting production.
The "Lost Connections" episode will air February 25th.
