REWAKE was the official video which was the first known one completely shot on a smartphone.
We used it not only as a camera but also the sound was recorded with smartphones on a selfie stick (as boom pole) and for lights and clap we used tablets.
This short film was produced in 2015 by Sandeep Abraham for his bachelor thesis. It is about a man who is in a coma after an accident but does not know. His subconscious perceives the voices in the environment and plays out a scene in his head with its content. This video was in 2015 the first completely shot on smartphone video.
