'The Night Shift' - Short Film shot entirely on a Xiaomi Mobile Phone

Xiaomi Polska hired us to create the announcement video for the launch of their latest phone - the Mi 11. We wanted to show off the incredible performance of quality of this phone and came up with this low-light concept. A short film telling the tale of an old Night Guard, closing up a museum for the evening, when unexpectedly, the museum comes to life.

The film was shot exclusively on the Mi11 Phone. Other tools used were the Zhiyun Crane M2 Gimbal, Aputure lighting and Peak Design Tripod - all listed below with our affiliate links.

The film is shot in 4k 30fps, and edited in Final Cut Pro.

Special thanks to Xiaomi Poland, the Krakow National Museum, Opera Ballet School and Bartek Gruchała - our incredible music composer.

Take a look at some behind the scenes photographs of us at work:
