Working with professional cameras is a totally different situation to working with the NSeries devices. I have to say, with good lighting I much prefer working with the mobile phone. With the embeded video editor, I can get data up on the 360Fashion platform much faster than the pro cameras. The process is so much longer with the pro cameras...importing, editing, exporting. In the last 7 years of mobile reporting I have developed a distinct 360Fashion style of shooting with mobile devices, methodology, and techniques in order to edit on the fly and post the data up to the web in a rapid fire way. This gives a live experience to the web viewers and allows for a edited "streamed" experience. Editing in the phone is great because after an event, on the way home by metro you can use up your time to create new clips. I'm disappointed that Nokia removed the MUVEE movie editor, it was a great way to create "preview" clips because the MUVEE phone editor auto-edited the clips in several different algorythms. I called the editing and then re-editing and even 4x editing MUVEE clip after clip "spontaneos cumbustion", and effect that overloads the phone system and creates mobile art through the breakdown of the mobile media. This spontaneous combustion of the digital data created beautiful pattern color effects, strange morphed rythms, and a distinct artistic style created by the phone itself that one could never come up with in the computer using final cut pro or aftereffects. One cannot plan for it, one can only select the most pleasing result. The phone, gernerated the art itself. Unfortunately all the test that I have made, contrary to what Nokia say about the Nseries being broadcast quality, I have never been successful in getting a satellight broadcast station to air the footage I have created. Most of you know that I have been mobile reporting since 2002, when I had to crack the phone open to get the videos out because there were no tools. Luckily with the new open mentality, the day and age has evolved to create a streamlined mobile content creation tool that now coupled with the OVI platform could give me finally the platform to create my Anina Dress Up mobile television show. Until then, I'm stuck with the lightest hand held pro camera to film for tv, however I find it clunky and difficult to get the same look and style to my shooting with my N95. Each tool has it's own abilities. I like experimenting with them all, but after, I make everyone shoot it all again quickly with my mobile for 360FashionTV. Here I am training my HD video camera man to shoot with my mobile perspective angles and style. When Nokia launched LIFEBLOG thanks to Charlie in 2005 it was a revolution for me--finally I could get the data up on the web with my mobile phone in a great user interface way. I tought 32 non-technical people to use lifeblog with great pleasure and many technophobic people loved the LIFEBLOG application that worked across all sixapart platforms. Now with the cancellation of LIFEBLOG, and the Nokia Share 3.0's exclusion of 3rd party websites, I feel Nokia's position in mobile blogging has been severely weakened. Of course the Nokia Share team tell me, "But you can blog to OVI". Not with the kind of data I have to upload with hour long interviews and video files that weigh well over 200mb with the OVI 100 mb limit. Also posting to Typepad and Movable type is a disappointing experience now because of the cancellation of LIFEBLOG, as the sixapart symbian mobile application for typepad is rudimentary, and despite my direct contact with the Mobile department at sixapart, I have been unable to even get the application working. It refuses to see all my blog accounts since the last upgrade of sixapart. Aslo I find that, like many American companies who cannot imagine that anyone would travel outside the USA, sixapart doesn't name anymore the jpg files that are uploaded by email to their platform in a way that google can search them (my nicely named-thanks to Nokia phone-images called "china-fashion-week_2009.jpg" end up being called "x2140u50975093585-958-95903753476-314pi". Tell me how google will associate that image with china fashion week?). The support say "you can add alt files to help google". Yes, only from the web, not from the mobile application (which doesnt work) or the email to blog. The LIFEBLOG application was brilliant interface also compared to the Nokia Share text based one, the timeline, the gps auto entered information thanks to triangulation, the tags, and the little comments you could write next to the photo that would display under the photo next to the big body text, made for a great "editor" formatting experience afterwards on the blog. You have to work with what you have, and if MUVEE would sell their mobile video application I'd pay for it if it could handle my 100mb video files. It would have to be built software for the phone as robust as the EDIT features inside the symbian system. Its one reason I still love the N93...great video quality, still had LIFEBLOG, and wifi. What a perfect combination!
