Eskimohunter Music Video Shot Entirely With Nokia Nseries Cell Phones

This video, for the Eskimohunter’s Surfing at 32ºF, was filmed only with Nokia N93, N93i and N95 by director Mike Hodgkinson and premiered at the Hollywood Hill BigBrain Summit on Friday, September 12.

“Each of the Nokia Nseries devices I used was perfectly suited to the kind of experimental, ‘out-there’ shots I wanted to capture for ‘Surfing at 32ºF’. For example, as a highly compact slider, the Nokia N95 slotted neatly into the customized pouch I attached to my fishing-line monorail, while the flip-out screens on the Nokia N93 and N93i allowed me to cover the lens with DIY color filters quickly and easily,” said Hodgkinson. “Everything I imagined, the Nokia Nseries devices let me create. I really wanted to push the Nokia equipment to its limits, and each responded brilliantly. I’ve taken Nseries devices underwater, attached them to helium balloons and dangled them 100 feet above the Los Angeles River . . . and I’ve never lost a shot.”

“Surfing at 32ºF,” the second video directed and shot by Hodgkinson using Nokia Nseries devices, continues to stretch the capabilities of Nokia’s high-end mobile devices. Hodgkinson chose to use only the Nokia N93, Nokia N93i and Nokia N95 as his arsenal to shoot the music video, as well as a “behind the scenes” video - all three of which feature top of class Carl Zeiss optics and a variety of on-device editing capabilities.
