Apple started the holidays off with Fuzzy Feelings, a combination of stop-motion animation and live action that tells a heart-warming story about reaching out to other people during the holidays.
Apple also released a “making of” video to show how the short film was produced with an iPhone 15 Pro Max and MacBook Air.
Apple’s ‘Shot on iPhone’ film Fuzzy Feelings is well named
The capabilities of iPhone cameras have increased dramatically over the years, and have become a strong selling point for the devices. To demonstrate their potential, Apple periodically releases a “Shot on iPhone” film.
The latest entry is Fuzzy Feelings. It’s about a woman expressing her anger at her horrible boss through the stop-motion film she’s producing. But she slowly begins to realize that maybe he’d not such a bad guy afterall.
Apple’s description reads:
“Creativity has the power to change the way we see each other, and the world. Sometimes, seeing things through a new lens can make all the difference.
“You make the holidays.”
The background music is “Isn’t it a Pity” by George Harrison — a Beatle whose genius is often overlooked.

Behind the scenes
The point of any “Shot on iPhone” film is to show off the capabilities of Apple’s handsets, and that requires a “making of” film. Naturally, there’s one for Fuzzy Feelings.
It features comments from Anna Mantzaris, the director for the stop-motion portion of the video.
