“It was revealed on Thursday that the cinematographer filming ‘The Avengers’ used an iPhone to shoot footage for the upcoming high-budget film,” Chris Smith reports for AppleInsider.
“The Irish Film and Television Network reported that Oscar-nominated cinematographer Seamus McGarvey, in his first big-budget action film, used Apple’s smartphone instead of high-priced equipment for certain shots in the super-hero blockbuster,” Smith reports. “‘On ‘The Avengers,’ I did a couple of shots on the iPhone and they are in the movie,’ McGarvey said. ‘In fact they are in the trailer!'”
Smith reports, “Detailing his decision to use the iPhone, McGarvey explained that he didn’t make a compromise when choosing the handset, saying that ‘every piece of kit should be tailored to what you’re trying to achieve.’ He goes on to underscore that camera equipment does not define a film, but rather the decisions made with what is available.”

Oh great, another movie with Samuel L. Jackson, the obligatory black man. Can’t Hollywood at least get one who can act worth a damn? That idiot Herman Cain could do a better job than this guy.
Okie dokey gramps, what ever you say… just try to take it easy on those britches.
Stay off my lawn, you young whipper-snapper!
If it’s in the trailer. Which shot is it? A super 8 camera filmed some of super 8. Big deal. I bet you can pick those shots out. I cant pick the iPhone shots out of the trailer.
AGREED – with XJ – similar post –
WHAT DAMN PART of the film – PLS provide section with EXAMPLE.
Its the shot of the cars blowing up on the street!
I’d say it’s the hammer shot at :46.
I think you’re right.
That was my pick too.
Also possibly the shot of Thor at 1:31.
It’s none of the shots. It’s a misquote.
