I should've posted this here before, but I thought David Howell would've done it already.
Nokia have asked him to run a parallel competition at http://davidhowellstudios.com/ Both Nokia and Dave are running what is basically a videoblogging competition, and there's not much competition at the moment, so there's a good chance of you winning. You don't have to shoot on a phone to win (though it'd probably help). Films submitted should be 2 minutes long. Subjects should be one of the following: 1. The Best Part Of Today. 2. The Next Thing That Makes You Smile. 3. An Act Of Kindness. 4. The Next Person To Inspire You. So - not every film will fit, but it's pretty videobloggingy brief. Closing date is midnight, April 30th. It's tied into a big event on May 10th called Pangea Day, which is about 'bringing the world together through the power of film'. Nokia are sponsoring Pangea Day and using it as a chance to promote the idea of mobile filmmaking with their phones. And to promote their new video sharing site Share on Ovi, which they just launched. They bought Twango and rebranded it. You can see the 150 or so films that have been submitted so far and submit your own at http://twango.com/channel/PangeaDay.film And also post a link at http://davidhowellstudios.com/ Don't just fire and forget your entries if you want views and ratings. Get involved, leave comments and ratings to get more people watching your films. I'm trying to kick start conversation & involvement there - there was none just a week ago. I've had some interesting exchanges and had lots of views and ratings as a result. You can see the last thing I submitted at: http://www.twango.com/media/PangeaDay.film/ruperthowe.10020 which is in the lead at the moment - uhhh... views, comments and ratings appreciated :D Finalists in the Nokia Awards will be shortlisted by popularity, judged by views, favorites, comments and ratings. Then judges will choose winners. David Howell will choose the winner for his comp. Rupert http://twittervlog.tv/
