Apple’s latest ‘Shot on iPhone’ video focuses on life of 17-year-old athlete from American Samoa
Apple has added to its “Shot on iPhone” series with a new video focusing on 17-year-old athlete Eddie Siaumau from American Samoa who has accepted a scholarship to a NCAA Division I university.
Shared to YouTube on Sunday, the video is filmed on a small island nicknamed “Football Island,” which supposedly produces athletes who are around 56 times more likely to play in the NFL than Americans from anywhere else, a stat that Apple cites in the description of the video.
Shot using the iPhone XS, the three-minute film includes stunning shots of American Samoa, following Siaumau as he trains on the beach, in the gym, and more.
According to Apple, the video was shot with the aid of third party accessories such as the Osmo Mobile 2 smartphone gimbal and the FiLMiC Pro app. The video is directed by Steven Counts and produced by Heather Zara.
