To celebrate the launch of their C902 Cyber-shot mobile phone (pictured) Sony Ericsson are teaming up with Oscar nominated film director Mike Figgis to create ‘Life Captured’ – a pioneering new short film made entirely out of mobile phone photos taken by everyday people.
Anyone who wants to showcase their life is invited to to submit a storyboard consisting of five mobile phone snapshots. National winners from 19 participating countries across Europe (including the UK), the Middle East and Africa will be chosen and briefed by Mike Figgis to shoot their part of the new ‘Life Captured’ film with the new phone.
Figgis is best-known for his experimental and ground-breaking techniques in film-making and has won seven film awards and been nominated for 14 others including two Oscars for Leaving Las Vegas.
The director says making a film out of still images “was a challenging brief” but says he was “instantly inspired by Sony Ericsson’s aim to reveal an unseen side of life across so many countries.”
