iPhone's one-take wonder around the Hermitage Museum

Got a spare five-and-a-half hours to go on a trip around a Russian museum?

Ok, whilst most people won't choose to spend a quarter of their day watching Apple's latest tech-demo/creative endeavour in full, the sheer fact that it exists is a bit of a filmmaking miracle.

In just one charge and one take, Russian director Axinya Gog takes viewers on a cinematic odyssey through the museum’s public collections, past artworks by Rembrandt, Raphael, Caravaggio, Canova and others. 

Not skimping on challenges, the film also spectacularly featuring live dance, performances and music along the way, culminating with a 30-minute musical finale from Russian pianist and composer, Kirill Richter.

Ambitious, creative and genuinely gorgeous to behold (as well as impressively showcasing the device's abilities - apparently there was 19% battery remaining at the end of the shoot), this sumptuous glide through the world of art is exciting and impressive.
