actually, it seems more a marketing ploy on the part of sony-ericsson. "Director Grant Marshall of Film Headquarters said he had spent 18 months looking for a band willing to go along with the mobile-only film concept."
i worked with a photographer last spring who was hired by them to take their latest cell phone camera on the road for 40 days. the project ws called 'image america' and was a completely commercial project (though shot in journalistic style). the images ran in american photo magazine, sony-ericsson sponsored an exhibit & book and now the images are being used heavily in their marketing (ads, packaging, etc.) to say "look what this can do." i wouldn't be surprised if the video ended up in a sony-ericsson ad campaign... ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Sunday, September 25, 2005 8:51 am Subject: [mobile-society] Mobile phone rock video (Intern) > Hello all, > > I came across the attached news story.
