Raising the bar for visual storytelling in Nigeria, celebrated filmmaker Director En’Man, born Akhabue Evans Ebalu, has officially made history as the first Nigerian filmmaker to shoot a full music video using the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Known for his bold visual storytelling and passion for innovation, En’Man once again proves that creativity thrives where technology meets vision.
Speaking about his groundbreaking move, Director En’Man explained, “Some smartphones simply can’t compete with the cinematic quality the iPhone 17 Pro Max delivers.
What really stands out for me is the flexibility, you can create high-quality videos on the go, especially during emergency projects when you don’t have access to top-notch gadgets. In my opinion, the iPhone 17 Pro Max is your best and quickest solution to produce and still meet professional standards.”
His latest project, the music video for “Armament” by artist Luwi, is living proof. Shot entirely on the iPhone 17 Pro Max, the video captures stunning visuals that rival traditional setups. “My team and I handled the entire shoot with just the iPhone 17 Pro Max, and you honestly wouldn’t believe it when you see the results,” he added.
The behind-the-scenes clips shared on En’Man’s Instagram page have since gone viral, with hundreds of fans and creatives flooding the comments section to applaud the video’s crisp quality and seamless production.
Not stopping there, the director has also dropped a two-part tutorial on his YouTube channel, walking viewers through how to shoot high-quality videos using the iPhone 17 Pro Max, a must-watch for aspiring filmmakers and content creators.
Meanwhile, En’Man warns creators to beware of fake iPhone 17 models circulating in Nigeria. Many are reportedly rebranded iPhone XRs disguised as iPhone 17 Pro Max, which, according to him, “look the part but lack the real hardware and power to deliver professional results.”
Director En’Man’s latest feat isn’t just a flex, it’s a statement. It proves that with vision, skill, and the right tools, filmmaking in Nigeria is entering a bold new era where creativity truly knows no limits.
