Luxury car-maker Bentley last year shot an ad for the Mulsanne (a mere $298,000 to you, Sir) on the iPhone 5s and iPad Air, and has this year upgraded to the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Its new ad is for a driving jacket rather than a car, and it has again produced a behind-the-scenes video (below) showing the kit and software used â¦Â
The latest video features four Saville Row tailors, each of which has created a bespoke jacket commissioned by Bentley for a Saville Row Bespoke exhibition in Washington.
The video was shot with a mix of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus phones, FiLMiC Pro software for a film-like look. As always with professional films shot with the iPhone, donât expect to be able to replicate the results at home. Aside from the skill of director Austin Reza and his team, thereâs also a lot of steadicam type mounts and pro lenses used.
The behind-the-scenes video opens with a look back at the previous Mulsanne ad before moving onto the Saville Row film.
Weâve previously seen a Sundance Film Festival hit movie shot with the iPhone 5s and FiLMiC Pro.

Why Bentley do this when there are gazillions of easier, better and cheaper dedicated video cameras? A Go Pro for instance or Android LG G2 Phone at 4K comes to mind and then use a proper laptop to edit the audio and video.
Unless this is a co-production to Promote Apple and Bentley.
On the other hand this also goes to show how important skill, lighting and camera stabilizers are to shooting great video not just the âcameraâ.
