Surfing at 32ºF by Eskimohunter

A music video, an interview or citizen journalism report shot by your cell phone? Yes.... it is possible with such little gear!

New Eskimohunter Shot Entirely With Nokia Nseries Cell Phones Sep 17th, 2008 | By James Lewin | Think you need more gear to make that video podcast/music video/movie/viral video hit? Think again.  This video, for the Eskimohunter’s Surfing at 32ºF, was shot entirely on Nokia Nseries cell phones.  “Each of the Nokia Nseries devices I used was perfectly suited to the kind of experimental, ‘out-there’ shots I wanted to capture for ‘Surfing at 32ºF’,” says director Mike Hodgkinson. “For example, as a highly compact slider, the Nokia N95 slotted neatly into the customized pouch I attached to my fishing-line monorail, while the flip-out screens on the Nokia N93 and N93i allowed me to cover the lens with DIY color filters quickly and easily.”  “I’ve taken Nseries devices underwater,” adds Hodgkinson, “attached them to helium balloons and dangled them 100 feet above the Los Angeles River . . . and I’ve never lost a shot.”  Hodgkinson used only the Nokia N93, Nokia N93i and Nokia N95 to shoot the music video.

Nokia sponsored a mobile-phone film festival once, not sure off the top of my head if they still do it. If it can record moving images, it can be a filmmaking tool.
