South Korean director shoots movie with iPhone 4

Prize-winning South Korean director Park Chan-wook filmed his latest movie, the 30-minute Night Fishing with 10 Apple iPhone 4s.

Night Fishing tells the story of a fisherman and a female shaman. Park co-directed the movie with his brother Chan-kyong.

In an interview with Reuters, the director said he circumstances of its shooting gave making the film an unusual flavour. "Movies that I directed before were meticulously planned ahead and shot just as pictured. Compared to that, shooting this film felt free, and everyone had an equal amount of say." He added, "Some scenes were shot from more interesting angles than previously intended."

The South Korean director won the Cannes Grand Prix in 2004 for Oldboy, about a kidnapped man seeking vengeance.
