You may not have the budget to attract Dev Patel, Pamela Anderson, Ed Westwick or Charles Dance into your own home movies but you can probably afford a mobile phone like the one used to shoot this new short movie.
This may come across as a bit of an advert but it’s more focusing on you, our readers who would be able to create the same short film as Nokia have done with this video to promote their new phone, the Nokia N8.
The mobile phone giant enlisted the actors mentioned above to work with the McHenry Brothers to make a rather spectacular short film entitled ‘The Commuter’. In the video, Dev Patel find his car has been clamped by a pesky Traffic Warden played by the legendary Charles Dance. After queuing for a bus, Patel is put into a trance by a movie poster which they takes us into an action packed, seven minute short film shot entirely on the Nokia N8.
The groundbreaking film, directed by the McHenry Brothers, was shot in just four days with the Nokia N8 using no back up cameras, with the streets of London and St Albans providing the backdrop to Nokia’s story about one commuter’s eventful journey to work.
As I said above, this is by no means an advert for Nokia (although it may come across like one!?) but what it does prove is that anyone out there can make a short film to the standard that has been achieved here. I’ve embedded the movie below and you can find out more and look at some behind the scenes videos (again shot on the N8) by clicking here.
Hats off to Nokia and the marting team who came up with the idea in the first place. Love it!
