Smartphone-Filmed Music Videos

The Jesse Harris ‘I Won’t Wait’ Film Was Made wit

This incredible Jesse Harris ‘I Won’t Wait’ music video was filmed entirely with an iPhone by the talented filmmaker Lyle Owerko. Upon watching the video, one would not assume that it was filmed using a professional camera. The concept of the video is rather simple, with the lead singer in focus and a black and white backdrop; however, it is still extremely effective and entertaining.

Owerko decided to put his iPhone to the test and experiment with it, to show that it is possible to create quality media with a smartphone—I’m a believer! This goes to show that you don’t need expensive equipment to create meaningful art. With a dash of imagination and some creativity, anything is possible.
