The Weeknd Unveils iPhone 16 Pro-Captured Music Video

Sep 10 2024

The Weeknd has announced the release of his new single, “Dancing in the Flames,” the lead track from his upcoming album Hurry Up Tomorrow. Accompanying the single is a music video shot entirely on Apple’s latest iPhone 16 Pro.

The video, directed by Anton Tammi with Erik Henrikkson as the director of photography, showcases the iPhone 16 Pro’s advanced capabilities. Demonstrated at Apple’s It’s Glowtime event, the video was filmed in 4K at 120fps with Dolby Vision. Henrikkson highlighted the device’s performance in managing strong highlights and deep blacks, despite concerns about capturing high-contrast elements such as bright HDMI backlights and rain. “The iPhone 16 Pro effectively bridges the gap between professional and consumer cameras, which is a significant advantage for emerging filmmakers,” Henrikkson stated.

This release marks the final chapter in The Weeknd’s After Hours and Dawn FM trilogy. The album Hurry Up Tomorrow is set to continue the artist’s exploration of innovative music and visual storytelling. The music video for “Dancing in the Flames” is now available for viewing.
