In a new interview with IFTN, Seamus McGarvey, acclaimed cinematographer for films such as Atonement,The Avengers, and We Need to Talk About Kevin, revealed that he used the iPhone 4 to film several shots in The Avengers – what more, a few of those shots even appeared in the trailer!

Here’s a portion of the interview where McGarvey discusses using the iPhone 4:

“The beauty of photography or cinema is that you make every choice based on the content at hand. On The Avengers, I did a couple of shots on the iPhone and they are in the movie. In fact, they are in the trailer! I understand that sometimes there is no choice and you have to go for the cheapest option, but if you are limited for choice, you can still make poignant decisions that will effect the look of the film.”

This is pretty remarkable news, particularly for such a large budgeted movie as The Avengers.

We’re having trouble figuring out which shots from the trailer are from the iPhone, can you figure it out?

What do you make of this news? Pretty impressive, eh?
