"The Rider" Nokia Short - Behind the Scenes

How film a professional video with a telephone?

Pitch for the Nokia/Vimeo short film competition.

Set in Montana c.1900. A lone rider arrives and enters an abandoned barn. Guilt ridden, he plans to end his life but instead has an encounter that brings hope of redemption. We have a wonderful Barn location, great potential cast and crew members, access to horses and costume, breathtaking scenery and a passion to create a unique and evocative western short. We have the rare opportunity to film in a coveted location. We are excited to use the NokiaN8 to its full potential; adapting it to equipment that will help create visuals and movement in an innovative and cinematic way.
