Cinematic Short — Shot on iPhone

I’ve wanted to make a cinematic short with my buddy Jonathan Seavey for a long time. Not to manufacture a moment—but to frame one honestly.

The idea was simple: use cinematic language to highlight Jonathan’s athleticism, precision with a rifle, and the atmosphere of an outdoor range—shot almost entirely on an iPhone. A few extreme close-ups called for a true zoom lens and the FX3, but everything else was about working within limits and letting my direction do the heavy lifting.

One of my favorite parts of the process was layering passages from Rudyard Kipling’s “If” with an intense PremiumBeat score and sound design. The poetry added weight.

Jonathan is wearing @bornprimitive / @bornprimitivetactical and running a @noveske_llc Chainsaw and @staccato2011 XC, @tudorwatch @toyotausa @leupoldoptics @emersonknivesinc @subsecond_ @wildertactical @rayban @walkersgsm @railscales @safarilandgroup

Filmed in 4K on an iPhone 16 Pro with @smallrig.global cage and accessories.

Shot, edited, and directed by me.

For me, this wasn’t about proving what an iPhone can do (though it certainly surprised me) – it was about mixing the right ingredients for the story and subject.

ACE VR vs. real life 🎯

Side-by-side run of the popular USPSA classifier “This Could Be the Greatest Night of Our Lives.”

The biggest things keeping my real-life run from matching my ACE time? Splits and movement. Splits are obviously faster in VR with zero recoil, but all other fundamentals including trigger pull, target transitions, grip, visual processing — translate extremely well.

Pretty cool seeing just how closely the two runs line up.

If you’ve been thinking about trying ACE, use AceVRTrainer for 10% off at AceXR.com.

USPSA stage: side-by-side vs. ACE

Ace actually has real 1:1 USPSA classifiers in the system which is great for translating to real life shooting. This stage is called Righty Tighty.

After nearly 250,000 rounds in ACE, this is one of my favorite examples of how much virtual reps can translate to the range. It doesn’t replace live fire—but the transitions, movement, stage planning and visual processing absolutely carry over.

Use code ACEVRTRAINER at AceXr.com
