LOS ANGELES, CA. (Nokia) -- Last night, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) premiered musician Rob Dickinson's new video, "Oceans;" which is the first music video created solely on a Nokia Nseries multimedia computer -- the first music video ever done solely on a device of its class.
Directed by Mike Hodgkinson, "Oceans" is the second single off Rob Dickinson's debut solo album, entitled Fresh Wine for the Horses. The "Oceans" music video was shot by Hodgkinson on the Nokia N93, a 3.2 megapixel cameraphone with DVD quality video and Carl Zeiss optics.
"The great thing about the Nokia N93 cameraphone is that we were able to go anywhere with it. We didn't have to lug a camera crew around thanks to the luxury of such a compact and versatile device," said Mike Hodgkinson, director of 'Oceans'. "We were able to get some very creative shots with it, even underwater and we also created an aerial shot with a bunch of helium balloons -- we really pushed the Nokia N93 to its limits, and it responded fantastically."
"It's a testament to the skill and inventiveness of Mike Hodgkinson, and the sheer quality of the Nokia N93 that the video has come out so brilliantly. I think the fact that most people are amazed when they are told that it was all shot on a cellphone says it all," commented Rob Dickinson. "That something so small and portable can produce such stunning results gives hope to independent artists everywhere, and credit to Nokia for encouraging this project from the start."
"Nokia is about connecting people with their passions and it's truly impressive to see how artists like Mike and Rob can bring their creative visions to life, particularly knowing it was done with an N93," said Andrew Elliott, Director of Multimedia Experiences, Nokia America. "We encourage people, from professional to hobbyist, to explore the full capacity of the Nokia Nseries devices to express themselves."
The Nokia N93 features a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, DVD- like video capture and optical zoom. The Nokia N93 can connect directly to your TV for a widescreen movie experience or upload your images and video to online albums or blogs. Consumers can also create high-quality home movies and burn them to DVD with the Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 software that comes in box with the Nokia N93.
The Nokia N93 is currently available in the United States and worldwide. Photos and video of the N93 can be found at https://www.nokia.com/A4136017?category=n93 .
