Sean Baker used the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus with the app FiLMiC Pro to shoot Snowbird. In an interview with Fast Company Sean Baker says that "tools such as Filmic Pro-an app that allows filmmakers to control things such as white balance, focus, and exposure-and adaptive lenses made by Moondog Labs, which allow for wide-angle filming, have matured significantly, making the process of making a movie with an iPhone a much more seamless effort."
