Danny Boyle, the director of '28 Years Later,' discussed the use of iPhones in detail for the film.
The film used three special rigs for iPhone sequences: one for eight cameras, another with 10 cameras, and a 20-camera rig.
The 20-iPhone rig was described as a 'poor man’s bullet time' visual effect and was used for violent scenes to emphasize their effect.
In addition to iPhones, drones, cameras attached to actors, and even farm animals were used to achieve an immersive feel for the film's widescreen aspect ratio.
