Hey all, just an update from one of the selected 'Free Your Film' competition winners. My name is Jessie and I'm working on an experimental documentary shooting throughout neighborhoods in Dublin.
The Lady of the Northside
I've had nearly two weeks to properly have a go of using the Sony Ericsson Vivaz as my shooting device. The phone is small and sleek, and having easy access to the memory card with the USB flash drive adapter makes downloading the files a breeze. Plus the files import straight into Final Cut Pro without issue. Yay.
I am still getting to grips with using such a lightweight device as a camera - it's easy on the wrists, but tough to steady on a windy day - perhaps I can just make the wobbly-ness part of the overall look of the video. I have actually ordered some phone lens accessories to give the film a more interesting look, check this site out! http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses/
Right... I'm off now to meet a plaster moulder. Let's see what gems of knowledge he can give me about the famous figure I am trailing.
