Lights, camera, action!
Meanwhile, Nokia's short film, ‘The Commuter' staring Dev Patel, Pamela Anderson, Charles Dance and Gossip Girl's Ed Westwick and shot in mobile HD on its new N8 smartphone, has premiered.
The plot is about a commuter's eventful journey to work and the film was shot in just 4 days in London and St Albans, but really it is all about showing off the N8's HD 720p 12 MP camera as it managed to capture free running scenes and car chases.
Dev Patel, best known for his role in Slumdog Millionaire, said: "I'm always interested in embracing new technology in film making and the main reason I really wanted to get involved with ‘The Commuter' was because it was being shot just on mobile phones."
"I wanted to encourage the next generation of filmmakers by showing that you don't need expensive equipment and big budgets to make your own movies. The quality of a camera phone, like the Nokia N8 allows filmmakers to produce amazing HD movies and I hope ‘The Commuter' shows aspirational filmmakers that you can create a great movie even using a mobile phone," he added.
John Nichols, head of marketing at Nokia UK, said: "We really wanted to find a project that would push the capabilities of the Nokia N8 and we even found out during the initial testing that the N8's camera has a higher resolution than the professional cameras used on many other films. It was very encouraging that such a great cast wanted to embrace the concept and get involved with The Commuter."
