Nokia NSeries Studio , a new online movie community where people can upload and showcase digital content, premiered the short film shot by Gary Oldman with his N93 today. Titled "Donut" the two minute long clip featuring a round reflection in rippling water and a lonesone melody highlights the N93's DVD quality movie recording ability as well as its strength as a mobile production device. Nokia hopes this film will encourage others to record live moments of thier lives - with their N devices of course:)
Commenting on his film, Gary Oldman said: "Mobile video devices like the Nokia N93 allow us to capture the extraordinary moments in our ordinary days and share them with the world. The image in Donut is one such fleeting moment I happened upon that inspired me to grab my mobile video device out of my pocket and record it to share with others. I hope my film encourages people to do the same and I look forward to seeing the results on the Nokia Nseries Studio."
Tapio Hedman, senior vice president, Multimedia Marketing, Nokia, said: "Gary's film really showcases how mobile video devices are the ultimate solution for spontaneous video recording. With the Nokia Nseries Studio we're hoping to encourage more people to shoot and share their life experiences. And with the Nokia N93, people can capture these moments in unparalleled video quality from a mobile device."
With the films release, anyone can joing the NSeies Studio and start sharing their movies with the world. Stepping aside from the rave reviews, Digital Lifestyles had a slapstick review of the whole event, chastising Nokia for endowing the N93 with DVD quality and then stepping back to DVD "like" quality. But they also caution DV camcorder manufacturers to be aware of the great strides movie phones are making and not to act surprised if thier whole industry disappears from under them.
