A heartwarming story shot with iPhone15 Pro Max
Every year, Apple releases short films in time for the Chinese New Year.
The 2024 work is a short movie titled “Little Garlic” that depicts the relationship between a grandfather and his granddaughter. The entire movie was shot with iPhone15 Pro Max.
The director is Marc Webb, known for the “Amazing Spider-Man” movie series and music videos for many artists such as Maroon 5.
A granddaughter who lacks self-confidence and a grandfather who encourages her to be herself
Wei lives with his grandfather. When Wei is insecure about her appearance, her grandfather encourages her by telling her, “You are the perfect child who inherited my garlic-shaped nose, which brings good luck,” and “Just be yourself.”
One day, Wei discovers that he has a special power that allows him to change his appearance, but his grandfather makes him promise never to use that power.
After growing up and moving to the big city of Shanghai, Wei comes to believe that the reason his life is not going well is because of his appearance, and he begins to use a number of glamorous transformations.
And Wei no longer knows who he is.
The old man gently tells Wei that they should eat Chinese steamed buns together, which is Wei’s favorite food.
After receiving the Chinese bun made by her grandfather, Wei is able to be herself and feel confident.

As a writer with an elementary school-age daughter, I was impressed by the expression on the grandfather’s face as he continued to watch over Wei warmly and shower him with love.
A behind-the-scenes look at the making of the shooting is also released.
Apple has also released a behind-the-scenes making movie of “Little Garlic.”
In the scenes where Way is running and playing basketball, he is shooting while running with the iPhone 15 Pro Max in his hand, and thanks to the effect of action mode, the footage is shot without blur.
Cinematic mode, which allows you to switch the person in focus, effectively brings out the conversation scenes between the characters.
The 5x optical zoom, a unique feature of the iPhone15 Pro Max, is used to effectively combine close-up and close-up shots.
In addition, the USB-C connector adopted in the iPhone 15 series has made it possible to move footage shot at 4K60fps to an external SSD, and comments have been introduced that the production workflow has greatly evolved.
Check out the making video here. Playback time is approximately 3 minutes 16 seconds.
