The 'land of the living water' - shot with the Nokia 808 PureView

Published by at

I have to agree with the Nokia Conversations people that this short film, embedded below, was worth highlighting. It's a compilation of video sequences at various speeds and what appear to be artily crafted time lapse sections, all masterfully edited with some suitably inspirational music. The aim is to show off both Slovenia, the 'land of the living water' (apparently), and the Nokia 808 PureView.

From the (amateur) 808 filmmaker:

A summer project filming places around my home town with Nokia 808 PureView. Music from great artist http://soundcloud.com/callum_donaldson

The filming was without any story, I was just filming and filming, hoping to come up with something good in the end” – Matjaz Klemencic

As usual, maximise the screen and crank up the YouTube quality, for best effect!

Terrific stuff - I wonder how long it will be before we start to see more ads and short films created using just this smartphone?

The only flaw I could detect in the film above was that the auto-focus hunted too much in some sections - I think this should perhaps be turned off for this sort of multi-depth video...
