“A film shot on a phone” competition

June 26th, 2007

Well that isn’t really the name (Young Creatives Competition: Film is the real name) but it is what this contest from Nokia is about.  20 teams get 48 hours to make a 30 second commercial using only a phone.  The brief?  Make a commercial that makes an environmentally sustainable lifestyle look sexy.  Here are some samples!  This one is from team Italy, the winners.  The phones used were the Nokia N93i which have Zeiss lenses, 30 fps (frames per second) and supposed DVD quality video.
