Edward Lachman and Motorola team up for camphone documentaries
Director Edward Lachman and Motorola team up to add a new wireless twist to movie making, reports PR Newswire
Leveraging the technology prowess of the Motorola V710, Lachman has created five, short-subject documentaries shot entirely with camera phones.
The documentaries, titled Street Stories, are currently available for viewing at hellomoto.com
Created as a "documentary piece, the films focus on how mobile handsets have become such an integral part of modern life". The five subjects all recount a personal experience where the mobile phone greatly impacted their lives.
Using the "Polaroid mosaic" visual style -- where a single individual is made up of multiple shots in a fixed pose -- Lachman captures viewers' attention with unique visuals and humorous stories."
