First movie series for mobile phones: The adventures of Ben the dog in London
BenQ Mobile presents the world’s first movie series for mobile phones: The adventures of Ben the dog in London, announces BenQ's website.
Ben the dog goes through turbulent adventures in all sorts of places in London carrying his master, Mr. Q’s, mobile phone. The story is to unfold in successive episodes developed by young directors worldwide. Thus the plot can take a completely new turn, depending on the director’s background. The 60-second movies in 3GP format are tailored for small screens. Swift camera movements and panorama shots are avoided, and the dialogue is also kept to a minimum. Several mobile models from various manufacturers support this format.
60-second movies from the “Dog & Bone” series can now be downloaded free of charge. Besides, the first episode of the series will be preinstalled on the new BenQ-Siemens M81.
