NPR's On the Movies podcast did a special in this back in March. It's actually an up-and-coming type of indie field. There are lots of young would-be directors doing this, and some companies are toying around with the idea of sponsoring this on a wider basis. It would work most effectively, of course, for those who sit for 30 -45 minutes or so in mass transit situations, espeically the Japanese and Europeans.
-------------- Original message -------------- From: "Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L. Minor)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For the first time, an entire theatrical documentary has been shot using a standard video cell phone, the Associated Press reported today (Thursday). The wire service said that the 93-minute Italian film New Love Meetings from co-directors Marcello Mencarini and Barbara Seghezzi features clips of interviews with about 100 people talking about their sex lives. (About 700 people were actually "filmed.") "To use a small instrument that belongs to people's daily routine allows you to establish an intimate dialogue, instead of using a regular camera," Seghezzi told the A.P. "The interview becomes more like a chat." To offset the relatively low technical quality of the Nokia N90, the directors said they used mostly close-ups. The A.P. described the film as "clear overall" but that it appears "slightly shaky." [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
