Nokia has premiered its first user generated Nokia Productions film in league with director Spike Lee.
The film was made by ‘everyday’people, using Nokia devices to generate and submit original content, which was then edited by Lee. Nokia and T-Mobile debuted the end result at a live event in LA.
Lee invited the public to submit original text, music, video or images around themes of birth, life and death to www.nokiaproductions.com. Over 4,000 pieces of original content were uploaded and over 350,000 visitors accessed the site.
He said: "The new technology is bringing a democracy to film. Anyone can be a journalist, a filmmaker, a still photographer. Just pull out your mobile device, record it, press a button, and it's instantly on the web. So I think it's great that Nokia had the vision to see where all of this is headed."
