Update: Searching for Sugar Man has WON the Oscar!<\/strong><\/p>\n Are you one of those people who still doubt an iPhone can be used to shoot a “real” production? Well then, perhaps this will change your mind…<\/p>\n When filmmaker\u00a0Malik Bendjelloul ran out of money to continue shooting and processing film for his new documentary, Searching for Sugar Man<\/a>, he turned to his iPhone and a $1.99 vintage video camera app called 8mm<\/a>.<\/p>\n Sure, that’s awesome, but you know what’s even more awesome? Searching for Sugar Man<\/strong> is now nominated for an Academy award!Rather than yammering on about it, I’ll simply point you to this interview posted by CNN Money a couple days ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n On a side note, this isn’t the only time an iPhone has contributed to a well received documentary. American Promise<\/a>, which recently screened at the Sundance Film Festival, also includes footage shot on an iPhone.<\/p>\n Take that, doubting doubters of doubtopia!<\/p>\n
