Sennheiser Produces “Must-Hear” Thriller Shot On iPhone
Sennheiser, for decades one of the leading brands of industry standard audio equipment, recently contacted us to let us know about their latest release: a short film shot on a smartphone.
The short movie FINAL STOP by American director Roxanne Benjamin was produced by Sennheiser to demonstrate their AMBEO SMART HEADSET. Developed with A/D conversion specialist Apogee, microphones in each of the earpieces record true-to-nature ambient sounds in “3D”, which can be played back by any stereo headphones. Aiming to completely immerse the viewer in the movie’s soundscape – a passenger rustles his newspaper in the front of the bus the protagonist is on, a couple argues to her right while behind her, she senses someone watching her – the film builds up the tension before a surprising twist…
You can see watch the full film on YouTube. But make sure you wear headphones to get the full surround sound effect.
