Apple's marketing chief Greg Joswiak recently showcased an Apple TV video detailing how director of Resident Evil, Zach Cregger, employs an iPhone throughout the filmmaking process. Cregger utilizes his iPhone along with the Cadrage app to meticulously plan out each filming sequence. He determines the specific shots, lenses, and elements to include in each frame.
