Want to make a movie, but you only have a cell phone?
My old friend Deverill Weekes sent me some links for a documentary project he worked on last year with Juliet Landau and fellow Londoner, Gary Oldman. Much of it was shot using three Nokia N93-1 mobile phone handsets. The next time you moan about your cheap camera limiting your creative potential you might want to remind yourself of this project. On the technical side, film industry professionals, lighting and post-production facilities of course got the most out of the Nokia’s capabilities, but even so, the project shows what can be achieved with consumer grade equipment.
