Bentley ad shot with Apple iPhone 5s and iPad Air

Bentley joins the list of companies experimenting with mobile devices to shoot promotional advertisements. The car company instructed photographers and videographers to shoot the ad Intelligent Details using an iPhone 5s. They then had to post-process the video on an iPad Air, which was mostly done in the back of a Bentley car. This ad then doesn’t just showcase Bentley’s offerings but the capabilities of Apple products as well. It seems to be a win-win for both companies.
