Q&A

• What was the filmmaker's favorite experiment, and what did they discuss in relation to the new iPhone?

  The filmmaker's favorite experiment involved micro-powder and capturing high dynamic range on the new iPhone to shoot bioluminescent microbial organisms in darkness. The filmmaker expressed excitement in sharing the footage, highlighting darkness as a feature in the film.

• What experimental observations did the scientists make with fluids?

  The scientists experimented with fluids such as ferro fluids and water to observe their behavior under the influence of magnetism and force. They also imagined the possibility of water as an organism and observed unconventional movements and behaviors.

• How did the creators aim to bring a sense of calmness and wonder to their otherworldly planet creation?

  The creators aimed to bring a sense of calmness and wonder to their otherworldly planet creation by capturing the first dawn and showcasing the living, undulating surface. They used magnets and glitter to create mesmerizing effects on the planet's landscape.

• What techniques did the creators employ to manipulate light and movement for artistic expression?

  The creators used simple objects to manipulate light for artistic effects. They explored the infusion of energy into matter through visual representation, experimented with camera movement using a piston to move rocks, and utilized free fall and iPhone stabilization for visual effects.

• How did the creators create visual effects resembling galaxy formations?

  The creators used blue, green, and red lasers in different combinations, experimented with water, paint, and balloons in a contraption called a 'cloud tank' to simulate cloud formations, and utilized a combination of clear glass, water, ink, and hydrogen peroxide to create a galaxy-like effect.

• What everyday elements did the creators capture to create mesmerizing visual effects?

  The creators captured everyday elements in unique combinations and high frame rates to create mesmerizing visual effects, such as neurons firing, icy liquid ripples, cloud formations, and the blooming of a galaxy.

• How did the creators deal with filming darkness and energy in their project?

  To capture darkness and energy, the creators used plasma tubes for visual effects. Additionally, they engaged in creative exploration and experimentation with objects to manipulate light and movement for artistic expression.

• What challenges did the creators face in filming their fictional universe?

  The creators struggled with achieving the desired look in the past. However, they overcame this challenge by leveraging the iPhone 12 Pro's low-light capabilities, which significantly improved their filming experience.
