Introduction: Cinematic Storytelling Without the Rig
In a bold demonstration of mobile imaging capabilities, vivo Malaysia has announced the premiere of its 2026 Chinese New Year short film, “Unsaid, Still Felt.” Set to debut on 13 February, the film was shot entirely using the vivo X300 Pro. By leveraging the phone’s ZEISS Gimbal-Grade Main Camera and 4K 120fps 10-Bit Log recording, the production team bypassed traditional bulky camera rigs, allowing for a more intimate and natural performance from the actors. The film features veteran actor Jordan Voon and creator Alvin Zhang, portraying the subtle, often unvoiced expressions of love that define generational dynamics in many Malaysian households.
The vivo X300 Pro: The “Ultimate Travel Phone”
The choice of the vivo X300 Pro as the sole production camera underscores its position as a flagship imaging device. Technical highlights utilized in the film include:
- 4K 120fps Recording: Enabling smooth, cinematic slow-motion shots that capture the emotional weight of festive moments.
- 10-Bit Log Video: Providing professional-grade color grading flexibility to ensure rich, lifelike festive tones.
- ZEISS Optics: Delivering the clarity and depth typically reserved for standalone cinema cameras, now compressed into a pocket-sized form factor.
“Let Love Be Spoken” Photography Contest
To extend the film’s message of bridging emotional gaps, vivo is inviting all Malaysians to participate in the “Let Love Be Spoken” photography contest. The goal is to encourage people to voice their feelings through visual storytelling during the CNY season.
