“The Commuter” was shot entirely on a Nokia N8 smart phone which boasts a 12 megapixel sensor that shoots 720p HD video with a Carl Zeiss lens and a Xenon flash to boot. The Film was shot in just four days with the Nokia N8 using no back up cameras, with the streets of London and St. Albans as the backdrop to Nokia’s story about one commuter’s eventful journey to work.

If you think that’s amazing, check out some more films shot on the Nokia N8 at Nokia’s HD vimeo.com channel you might be surprised what you see!

The Commuter

Behind the Scenes

Vicent Laforet, Canon and Vimeo recently announced a unique video contest to be shot exclusively with DSLRs. The concept is unique, take a still image from the previous film and come up with your own interpretation of the story behind the image – moving the storyline forward. This is an 8 month long contest which began January 7^th . Each month Vimeo users will vote on finalists which will be selected to win either a Canon EOS 7D or 5D Mark II, along with a canon lens of their choice. On top of that the Grand Prize winner will receive an all-expenses paid trip to shoot a short film with Vincent Laforet.

Canon gave Laforet a still image of a cab and then asked him to interpret it into a 2-3 minute short film. Laforet’s film, which was shot with a Canon EOS 7D DSLR, ends on a still image. It’s your job to pick it up from there and end with another still image, this should be a really unique 7 chapter series and I can’t wait to see the finished product.

With the likes of Mike Figgis, David Lynch, Gaspar Noe and Abel Ferrara. Well then, you’d probably end up with this video:
