Video Watch: 'Oceans', cell phone music video

You've probably heard about the multiple instances of cell phones being used to shoot short and feature films, or read about the festivals dedicated to this brand new medium. However, you may not have had a chance to see any of these cell phone-shot films. Via FresHDV, here is a recent music video directed by Mike Hodgkinson for "Oceans", performed by Rob Dickinson. Shot on a Nokia N93, the video looks surprisingly impressive, at least in its form on YouTube. I don't think I would have guessed this footage originated on a cell phone without prior knowledge. (But of course, it is quite compressed anyway as we all know.) Even more interesting is the making-of feature, wherein you can see the shooting in progress. The absolutely go-anywhere nature of the cell phone is fascinating to consider, like when the director straps it to a few balloons and sends it up into the air for a quick aerial shot. Gotta admit, that's pretty dang neat.
