With a budget less than $2,000, Gremlins 2 fan Sascha Feiner has created a fantastic film in which gremlins overtake a DVR and insert themselves into any number of classic films, from The Exorcist to Batman to Indiana Jones.
The Making of Film:
Qik introduced a Windows Mobile version of their soon to be hit mobile application today, allowing a greater number of mobile Smart Phones and Pocket PC users to take advantage of their free social networking and video blogging service that allows users to stream video from their cell phones to the internet. Starting today I'm going to integrate the Qik service into this blog by providing a live streaming link on the bottom left column sidebar. Look for the "WarrenFX.com LifeCast Video Stream" which will provide live streaming video podcasting whenever I'm broadcastings, and/or the last video podcast transmission I've sent over the Qik network.
Qik is a new service that allow you to stream live video from your phone to a blog or friend & family members. Once you complete a live stream from your mobile device the Qilk will then archive the video directly on their site like You Tube. Today, Qik officially entered public beta. As long as you have a smartphone running Windows Mobile and a data plan, you're ready to share whatever your little heart desires.
Qik is a very cool service. Basically, if you're a mobile video fanatic, you need to sign up. I shoot video using my cell phone all the time. Transferring it to other sites was a major pain until Qik came around. Using Qik, any video you shoot is streamed live, and also archived at the same time, so you can watch it again later. For those who need to share what they see and don't think picture messages or MMS messages are enough, this is the avenue you need to take.
According to the Qik blog, the service supports several Windows Mobile devices and about two dozen S60 smartphones from Nokia. Qik is working to add more phones to the list of devices it supports, and currently has a private alpha available for the iPhone. Even if you have a phone that is not supported, you can sign up and join in the community aspect of Qik.
The beta program is free, and requires users to have a data plan with their carrier. I suggest you check it out.
As of today only four windows mobile phones are supported, Motorola Q9c, Motorola Q9h , Samsung Blackjack II , and the Samsung SGH-I600, with promised support the HTC Shift, HTC Touch, HTC Touch Diamond, and the HTC TyTN II. I can't see why anyone with a Window Mobile 5/6 phone can't post the cab and expect it not work with most other WM devices.
I held on to this material for a while now only tinkering with it every now and again but I've finally decided to incorporate it into my show reel. The plan is to include only bits and pieces of this video as needed to speed up the feel of the over all reel. Remember the angle of this video is to show the a wide breath of technical awareness in broadcasting. My 2008 reel wont be another collage of pretty imagery with clean edits cut to music, instead the aim is to demonstrate to the viewer that I am a candidate with a wide understanding of broadcasting beyond post-production and camera work.
Anyway, enjoy the web premiere of this untitled piece of work shown in it's entirety.
